The mechanism proposed here is for real-time speaker change detection in conversations, which firstly trains a neural network text-independent speaker classifier using in-domain speaker data. Through the network, features of conversational…
Target speaker extraction focuses on extracting a target speech signal from an environment with multiple speakers by leveraging an enrollment. Existing methods predominantly rely on speaker embeddings obtained from the enrollment,…
The common target speech separation directly estimate the target source, ignoring the interrelationship between different speakers at each frame. We propose a multiple-target speech separation model (MTSS) to simultaneously extract each…
Speaker verification aims to verify whether an input speech corresponds to the claimed speaker, and conventionally, this kind of system is deployed based on single-stream scenario, wherein the feature extractor operates in full frequency…
In speech separation, time-domain approaches have successfully replaced the time-frequency domain with latent sequence feature from a learnable encoder. Conventionally, the feature is separated into speaker-specific ones at the final stage…
Speaker diarization(SD) is a classic task in speech processing and is crucial in multi-party scenarios such as meetings and conversations. Current mainstream speaker diarization approaches consider acoustic information only, which result in…
Speaker embedding extractors (EEs), which map input audio to a speaker discriminant latent space, are of paramount importance in speaker diarisation. However, there are several challenges when adopting EEs for diarisation, from which we…
Large-scale pre-trained self-supervised learning (SSL) models have shown remarkable advancements in speech-related tasks. However, the utilization of these models in complex multi-talker scenarios, such as extracting a target speaker in a…
Target speaker extraction aims to isolate a specific speaker's voice from a composite of multiple sound sources, guided by an enrollment utterance or called anchor. Current methods predominantly derive speaker embeddings from the anchor and…
The choice of an optimal time-frequency resolution is usually a difficult but important step in tasks involving speech signal classification, e.g., speech anti-spoofing. The variations of the performance with different choices of…
The time domain waveform of a speech signal carries all of the auditory information. From the phonological point of view, it little can be said on the basis of the waveform itself. However, past research in mathematics, acoustics, and…
This paper introduces ESPnet-SPK, a toolkit designed with several objectives for training speaker embedding extractors. First, we provide an open-source platform for researchers in the speaker recognition community to effortlessly build…
To extract the voice of a target speaker when mixed with a variety of other sounds, such as white and ambient noises or the voices of interfering speakers, we extend the Transformer network to attend the most relevant information with…
Target speech extraction, which extracts the speech of a target speaker in a mixture given auxiliary speaker clues, has recently received increased interest. Various clues have been investigated such as pre-recorded enrollment utterances,…
Target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to isolate a specific speaker's speech from a mixture using speaker enrollment as a reference. While most existing approaches are discriminative, recent generative methods for TSE achieve strong results.…
Cross-speaker style transfer in speech synthesis aims at transferring a style from source speaker to synthesized speech of a target speaker's timbre. In most previous methods, the synthesized fine-grained prosody features often represent…
In recent years, deep learning-based approaches have significantly improved the performance of single-channel speech enhancement. However, due to the limitation of training data and computational complexity, real-time enhancement of…
Speech applications dealing with conversations require not only recognizing the spoken words, but also determining who spoke when. The task of assigning words to speakers is typically addressed by merging the outputs of two separate…
Most speech separation methods, trying to separate all channel sources simultaneously, are still far from having enough general- ization capabilities for real scenarios where the number of input sounds is usually uncertain and even dynamic.…
Time masking has become a de facto augmentation technique for speech and audio tasks, including automatic speech recognition (ASR) and audio classification, most notably as a part of SpecAugment. In this work, we propose SpliceOut, a simple…
