Large scale databases with high-quality manual annotations are scarce in audio domain. We thus explore a self-supervised graph approach to learning audio representations from highly limited labelled data. Considering each audio sample as a…
Traditional speech separation and speaker diarization approaches rely on prior knowledge of target speakers or a predetermined number of participants in audio signals. To address these limitations, recent advances focus on developing…
Zero-shot learning is the problem of predicting instances over classes not seen during training. One approach to zero-shot learning is providing auxiliary class information to the model. Prior work along this vein have largely used…
This paper proposes a self-learning method to incrementally train (fine-tune) a personalized Keyword Spotting (KWS) model after the deployment on ultra-low power smart audio sensors. We address the fundamental problem of the absence of…
Neural network based speech recognition systems suffer from performance degradation due to accented speech, especially unfamiliar accents. In this paper, we study the supervised contrastive learning framework for accented speech…
Personalized speech enhancement (PSE) models achieve promising results compared with unconditional speech enhancement models due to their ability to remove interfering speech in addition to background noise. Unlike unconditional speech…
Speech enhancement and speech separation are two related tasks, whose purpose is to extract either one or more target speech signals, respectively, from a mixture of sounds generated by several sources. Traditionally, these tasks have been…
Self-supervised learning in speech involves training a speech representation network on a large-scale unannotated speech corpus, and then applying the learned representations to downstream tasks. Since the majority of the downstream tasks…
We propose SelfVC, a training strategy to iteratively improve a voice conversion model with self-synthesized examples. Previous efforts on voice conversion focus on factorizing speech into explicitly disentangled representations that…
The prediction of valence from speech is an important, but challenging problem. The externalization of valence in speech has speaker-dependent cues, which contribute to performances that are often significantly lower than the prediction of…
Lip-to-Speech (Lip2Speech) synthesis, which predicts corresponding speech from talking face images, has witnessed significant progress with various models and training strategies in a series of independent studies. However, existing studies…
We propose an end-to-end speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition model that unifies speaker counting, speech recognition, and speaker identification on monaural overlapped speech. Our model is built on serialized output training…
Speech separation aims to separate multiple speech sources from a speech mixture. Although speech separation is well-solved on some existing English speech separation benchmarks, it is worthy of more investigation on the generalizability of…
