Traditional speaker diarization systems have primarily focused on constrained scenarios such as meetings and interviews, where the number of speakers is limited and acoustic conditions are relatively clean. To explore open-world speaker…
The ICASSP 2023 Acoustic Echo Cancellation Challenge is intended to stimulate research in acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), which is an important area of speech enhancement and is still a top issue in audio communication. This is the fourth…
This study investigates robust speaker localization for con-tinuous speech separation and speaker diarization, where we use speaker directions to group non-contiguous segments of the same speaker. Assuming that speakers do not move and are…
During the Covid, online meetings have become an indispensable part of our lives. This trend is likely to continue due to their convenience and broad reach. However, background noise from other family members, roommates, office-mates not…
Target speech separation refers to extracting the target speaker's speech from mixed signals. Despite the recent advances in deep learning based close-talk speech separation, the applications to real-world are still an open issue. Two main…
We present the task description and discussion on the results of the DCASE 2021 Challenge Task 2. In 2020, we organized an unsupervised anomalous sound detection (ASD) task, identifying whether a given sound was normal or anomalous without…
An increasing number of people in the world today speak a mixed-language as a result of being multilingual. However, building a speech recognition system for code-switching remains difficult due to the availability of limited resources and…
In many real-world scenarios, such as meetings, multiple speakers are present with an unknown number of participants, and their utterances often overlap. We address these multi-speaker challenges by a novel attention-based encoder-decoder…
Because the performance of speech separation is excellent for speech in which two speakers completely overlap, research attention has been shifted to dealing with more realistic scenarios. However, domain mismatch between training/test…
We present the second edition of the VoiceMOS Challenge, a scientific event that aims to promote the study of automatic prediction of the mean opinion score (MOS) of synthesized and processed speech. This year, we emphasize real-world and…
Recently in speaker recognition, performance degradation due to the channel domain mismatched condition has been actively addressed. However, the mismatches arising from language is yet to be sufficiently addressed. This paper proposes an…
Neural speaker diarization is widely used for overlap-aware speaker diarization, but it requires large multi-speaker datasets for training. To meet this data requirement, large datasets are often constructed by combining multiple corpora,…
Streaming recognition and segmentation of multi-party conversations with overlapping speech is crucial for the next generation of voice assistant applications. In this work we address its challenges discovered in the previous work on…
Recently, the end-to-end training approach for neural beamformer-supported multi-channel ASR has shown its effectiveness in multi-channel speech recognition. However, the integration of multiple modules makes it more difficult to perform…
While language identification is a fundamental speech and language processing task, for many languages and language families it remains a challenging task. For many low-resource and endangered languages this is in part due to resource…
Deep neural network models for speech recognition have achieved great success recently, but they can learn incorrect associations between the target and nuisance factors of speech (e.g., speaker identities, background noise, etc.), which…
Speaker identification in noisy audio recordings, specifically those from collaborative learning environments, can be extremely challenging. There is a need to identify individual students talking in small groups from other students talking…
Speech separation is a fundamental task in audio processing, typically addressed with fully supervised systems trained on paired mixtures. While effective, such systems typically rely on synthetic data pipelines, which may not reflect…
Strong representations of target speakers can help extract important information about speakers and detect corresponding temporal regions in multi-speaker conversations. In this study, we propose a neural architecture that simultaneously…
Accurate recognition of cocktail party speech containing overlapping speakers, noise and reverberation remains a highly challenging task to date. Motivated by the invariance of visual modality to acoustic signal corruption, an audio-visual…
