This paper presents a unified multi-speaker encoder (UME), a novel architecture that jointly learns representations for speaker diarization (SD), speech separation (SS), and multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks using a…

Speech Segmentation is the process change point detection for partitioning an input audio stream into regions each of which corresponds to only one audio source or one speaker. One application of this system is in Speaker Diarization…

Spoken term discovery from untranscribed speech audio could be achieved via a two-stage process. In the first stage, the unlabelled speech is decoded into a sequence of subword units that are learned and modelled in an unsupervised manner.…

Identifying the identity of the speaker of short segments in human dialogue has been considered one of the most challenging problems in speech signal processing. Speaker representations of short speech segments tend to be unreliable,…

This paper describes the system developed by the XMUSPEECH team for the Multi-channel Multi-party Meeting Transcription Challenge (M2MeT). For the speaker diarization task, we propose a multi-channel speaker diarization system that obtains…

The vast majority of speech separation methods assume that the number of speakers is known in advance, hence they are specific to the number of speakers. By contrast, a more realistic and challenging task is to separate a mixture in which…

Multi-talker speech recognition and target-talker speech recognition, both involve transcription in multi-talker contexts, remain significant challenges. However, existing methods rarely attempt to simultaneously address both tasks. In this…

Most approaches to multi-talker overlapped speech separation and recognition assume that the number of simultaneously active speakers is given, but in realistic situations, it is typically unknown. To cope with this, we extend an iterative…

This paper describes the submission to the speaker diarization track of VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge 2021 done by North America Bixby Lab of Samsung Research America. Our speaker diarization system consists of four main components…

In this paper, we present Hitachi and Paderborn University's joint effort for automatic speech recognition (ASR) in a dinner party scenario. The main challenges of ASR systems for dinner party recordings obtained by multiple microphone…

Transformer has shown advanced performance in speech separation, benefiting from its ability to capture global features. However, capturing local features and channel information of audio sequences in speech separation is equally important.…

Speech data collected in real-world scenarios often encounters two issues. First, multiple sources may exist simultaneously, and the number of sources may vary with time. Second, the existence of background noise in recording is inevitable.…

The objective of this work is effective speaker diarisation using multi-scale speaker embeddings. Typically, there is a trade-off between the ability to recognise short speaker segments and the discriminative power of the embedding,…

This paper presents an overview of the Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events (DCASE) 2026 Challenge Task 4, Spatial Semantic Segmentation of Sound Scenes (S5). The S5 task focuses on the joint detection and separation…

In this paper we present the results of the Unconstrained Ear Recognition Challenge (UERC), a group benchmarking effort centered around the problem of person recognition from ear images captured in uncontrolled conditions. The goal of the…

Previous audio-visual speech separation methods use the synchronization of the speaker's facial movement and speech in the video to supervise the speech separation in a self-supervised way. In this paper, we propose a model to solve the…

This paper describes our submission to ICASSP 2022 Multi-channel Multi-party Meeting Transcription (M2MeT) Challenge. For Track 1, we propose several approaches to empower the clustering-based speaker diarization system to handle overlapped…

While recent progresses in neural network approaches to single-channel speech separation, or more generally the cocktail party problem, achieved significant improvement, their performance for complex mixtures is still not satisfactory. In…

We present results and analyses from the third VoicePrivacy Challenge held in 2024, which focuses on advancing voice anonymization technologies. The task was to develop a voice anonymization system for speech data that conceals a speaker's…

We introduce DIVE, an end-to-end speaker diarization algorithm. Our neural algorithm presents the diarization task as an iterative process: it repeatedly builds a representation for each speaker before predicting the voice activity of each…
