Speech separation has been extensively studied to deal with the cocktail party problem in recent years. All related approaches can be divided into two categories: time-frequency domain methods and time domain methods. In addition, some…
Audio-visual automatic speech recognition (AV-ASR) is an extension of ASR that incorporates visual cues, often from the movements of a speaker's mouth. Unlike works that simply focus on the lip motion, we investigate the contribution of…
Target speaker extraction, which aims at extracting a target speaker's voice from a mixture of voices using audio, visual or locational clues, has received much interest. Recently an audio-visual target speaker extraction has been proposed…
The audio-visual sound separation field assumes visible sources in videos, but this excludes invisible sounds beyond the camera's view. Current methods struggle with such sounds lacking visible cues. This paper introduces a novel…
Recent breakthroughs in language-queried audio source separation (LASS) have shown that generative models can achieve higher separation audio quality than traditional masking-based approaches. However, two key limitations restrict their…
Real-time single-channel speech separation aims to unmix an audio stream captured from a single microphone that contains multiple people talking at once, environmental noise, and reverberation into multiple de-reverberated and noise-free…
In machine learning and computer vision, input images are often filtered to increase data discriminability. In some situations, however, one may wish to purposely decrease discriminability of one classification task (a "distractor" task),…
Deep clustering (DC) and utterance-level permutation invariant training (uPIT) have been demonstrated promising for speaker-independent speech separation. DC is usually formulated as two-step processes: embedding learning and embedding…
Audio-Driven Talking Face Generation aims at generating realistic videos of talking faces, focusing on accurate audio-lip synchronization without deteriorating any identity-related visual details. Recent state-of-the-art methods are based…
This paper presents an adversarial learning method for recognition-synthesis based non-parallel voice conversion. A recognizer is used to transform acoustic features into linguistic representations while a synthesizer recovers output…
We propose a novel method to use both audio and a low-resolution image to perform extreme face super-resolution (a 16x increase of the input size). When the resolution of the input image is very low (e.g., 8x8 pixels), the loss of…
A long-standing goal in the field of sensory substitution is to enable sound perception for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) people by visualizing audio content. Different from existing models that translate to hand sign language, between…
Speech-driven 3D facial animation is important for many multimedia applications. Recent work has shown promise in using either Diffusion models or Transformer architectures for this task. However, their mere aggregation does not lead to…
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…
As is expressed in the adage "a picture is worth a thousand words", when using spoken language to communicate visual information, brevity can be a challenge. This work describes a novel technique for leveraging machine-learned feature…
Speaker verification is to judge the similarity between two unknown voices in an open set, where the ideal speaker embedding should be able to condense discriminant information into a compact utterance-level representation that has small…
The audio-visual segmentation (AVS) task aims to segment sounding objects from a given video. Existing works mainly focus on fusing audio and visual features of a given video to achieve sounding object masks. However, we observed that prior…
A speaker extraction algorithm seeks to extract the speech of a target speaker from a multi-talker speech mixture when given a cue that represents the target speaker, such as a pre-enrolled speech utterance, or an accompanying video track.…
Single-channel speech separation has recently made great progress thanks to learned filterbanks as used in ConvTasNet. In parallel, parameterized filterbanks have been proposed for speaker recognition where only center frequencies and…
The speaker extraction technique seeks to single out the voice of a target speaker from the interfering voices in a speech mixture. Typically an auxiliary reference of the target speaker is used to form voluntary attention. Either a…
