Recently, there has been growing interest in multi-speaker speech recognition, where the utterances of multiple speakers are recognized from their mixture. Promising techniques have been proposed for this task, but earlier works have…
In this paper, we present a novel multi-channel speech extraction system to simultaneously extract multiple clean individual sources from a mixture in noisy and reverberant environments. The proposed method is built on an improved…
In this paper, we present a novel framework that jointly performs three tasks: speaker diarization, speech separation, and speaker counting. Our proposed framework integrates speaker diarization based on end-to-end neural diarization (EEND)…
We introduce PodcastMix, a dataset formalizing the task of separating background music and foreground speech in podcasts. We aim at defining a benchmark suitable for training and evaluating (deep learning) source separation models. To that…
The objective of this paper is to separate a target speaker's speech from a mixture of two speakers using a deep audio-visual speech separation network. Unlike previous works that used lip movement on video clips or pre-enrolled speaker…
Recent diarization technologies can be categorized into two approaches, i.e., clustering and end-to-end neural approaches, which have different pros and cons. The clustering-based approaches assign speaker labels to speech regions by…
Multi-speaker speech recognition has been one of the keychallenges in conversation transcription as it breaks the singleactive speaker assumption employed by most state-of-the-artspeech recognition systems. Speech separation is consideredas…
Recently, end-to-end models have become a popular approach as an alternative to traditional hybrid models in automatic speech recognition (ASR). The multi-speaker speech separation and recognition task is a central task in cocktail party…
The problem of speech separation, also known as the cocktail party problem, refers to the task of isolating a single speech signal from a mixture of speech signals. Previous work on source separation derived an upper bound for the source…
Source separation can improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) under multi-party meeting scenarios by extracting single-speaker signals from overlapped speech. Despite the success of self-supervised learning models in single-channel…
Target confusion, defined as occasional switching to non-target speakers, poses a key challenge for end-to-end speaker extraction (E2E-SE) systems. We argue that this problem is largely caused by the lack of generalizability and…
We consider the problem of single-channel audio source separation with the goal of reconstructing $K$ sources from their mixture. We address this ill-posed problem with FLOSS (FLOw matching for Source Separation), a constrained generation…
Despite the recent success of speech separation models, they fail to separate sources properly while facing different sets of people or noisy environments. To tackle this problem, we proposed to apply meta-learning to the speech separation…
Speech clarity and spatial audio immersion are the two most critical factors in enhancing remote conferencing experiences. Existing methods are often limited: either due to the lack of spatial information when using only one microphone, or…
Since the first speech recognition systems were built more than 30 years ago, improvement in voice technology has enabled applications such as smart assistants and automated customer support. However, conversation intelligence of the future…
Speech separation with several speakers is a challenging task because of the non-stationarity of the speech and the strong signal similarity between interferent sources. Current state-of-the-art solutions can separate well the different…
In recent years, wsj0-2mix has become the reference dataset for single-channel speech separation. Most deep learning-based speech separation models today are benchmarked on it. However, recent studies have shown important performance drops…
In a range of recent works, object-centric architectures have been shown to be suitable for unsupervised scene decomposition in the vision domain. Inspired by these methods we present AudioSlots, a slot-centric generative model for blind…
Recent work has shown that recurrent neural networks can be trained to separate individual speakers in a sound mixture with high fidelity. Here we explore convolutional neural network models as an alternative and show that they achieve…
Separating different speaker properties from a multi-speaker environment is challenging. Instead of separating a two-speaker signal in signal space like speech source separation, a speaker embedding de-mixing approach is proposed. The…
