Most research on task oriented dialog modeling is based on written text input. However, users interact with practical dialog systems often using speech as input. Typically, systems convert speech into text using an Automatic Speech…

Keyword spotting (KWS) is experiencing an upswing due to the pervasiveness of small electronic devices that allow interaction with them via speech. Often, KWS systems are speaker-independent, which means that any person --user or not--…

Recently, there have been attempts to integrate various speech processing tasks into a unified model. However, few previous works directly demonstrated that joint optimization of diverse tasks in multitask speech models has positive…

We describe a neural network-based system for text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis that is able to generate speech audio in the voice of many different speakers, including those unseen during training. Our system consists of three independently…

Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis plays an important role in human-computer interaction. Currently, most TTS technologies focus on the naturalness of speech, namely,making the speeches sound like humans. However, the key tasks of the…

This paper introduces a multi-stage self-directed framework designed to address the spatial semantic segmentation of sound scene (S5) task in the DCASE 2025 Task 4 challenge. This framework integrates models focused on three distinct tasks:…

This paper describes our submission to the DISRPT2021 Shared Task on Discourse Unit Segmentation, Connective Detection, and Relation Classification. Our system, called DisCoDisCo, is a Transformer-based neural classifier which enhances…

In real-world applications, it is challenging to build a speaker verification system that is simultaneously robust against common threats, including spoofing attacks, channel mismatch, and domain mismatch. Traditional automatic speaker…

Speaker-conditioned target speaker extraction systems rely on auxiliary information about the target speaker to extract the target speaker signal from a mixture of multiple speakers. Typically, a deep neural network is applied to isolate…

Within the audio research community and the industry, keyword spotting (KWS) and audio tagging (AT) are seen as two distinct tasks and research fields. However, from a technical point of view, both of these tasks are identical: they predict…

In this paper we propose a new cross-lingual Voice Conversion (VC) approach which can generate all speech parameters (MCEP, LF0, BAP) from one DNN model using PPGs (Phonetic PosteriorGrams) extracted from inputted speech using several ASR…

This paper presents the T02 team's system for the Singing Voice Conversion Challenge 2023 (SVCC2023). Our system entails a VITS-based SVC model, incorporating three modules: a feature extractor, a voice converter, and a post-processor.…

This report describes the submission of the DKU-DukeECE-Lenovo team to the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge (VoxSRC) 2021 track 4. Our system including a voice activity detection (VAD) model, a speaker embedding model, two…

This paper presents our submission to the Iranian division of the Text-Dependent Speaker Verification Challenge (TdSV) 2024. Conventional TdSV approaches typically jointly model speaker and linguistic features, requiring unsegmented inputs…

The first Chinese Continuous Visual Speech Recognition Challenge aimed to probe the performance of Large Vocabulary Continuous Visual Speech Recognition (LVC-VSR) on two tasks: (1) Single-speaker VSR for a particular speaker and (2)…

Open-vocabulary keyword spotting (KWS) refers to the task of detecting words or terms within speech recordings, regardless of whether they were included in the training data. This paper introduces an open-vocabulary keyword spotting model…

A number of studies have successfully developed speaker verification or presentation attack detection systems. However, studies integrating the two tasks remain in the preliminary stages. In this paper, we propose two approaches for…

In this paper we present a data-driven, integrated approach to speaker verification, which maps a test utterance and a few reference utterances directly to a single score for verification and jointly optimizes the system's components using…

While the use of deep neural networks has significantly boosted speaker recognition performance, it is still challenging to separate speakers in poor acoustic environments. To improve robustness of speaker recognition system performance in…
