Target speaker extraction is to extract the target speaker, specified by enrollment utterance, in an environment with other competing speakers. Therefore, the task needs to solve two problems, speaker identification and separation, at the…
We present a method for introducing a text encoder into pre-trained end-to-end speech translation systems. It enhances the ability of adapting one modality (i.e., source-language speech) to another (i.e., source-language text). Thus, the…
While existing end-to-end beamformers achieve impressive performance in various front-end speech processing tasks, they usually encapsulate the whole process into a black box and thus lack adequate interpretability. As an attempt to fill…
This paper investigates a self-adaptation method for speech enhancement using auxiliary speaker-aware features; we extract a speaker representation used for adaptation directly from the test utterance. Conventional studies of deep neural…
One-shot voice conversion has received significant attention since only one utterance from source speaker and target speaker respectively is required. Moreover, source speaker and target speaker do not need to be seen during training.…
Decoding the directional focus of an attended speaker from listeners' electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is essential for developing brain-computer interfaces to improve the quality of life for individuals with hearing impairment. Previous…
