Speaker recognition on household devices, such as smart speakers, features several challenges: (i) robustness across a vast number of heterogeneous domains (households), (ii) short utterances, (iii) possibly absent speaker labels of the…
In this paper, we introduce a large-scale and high-quality audio-visual speaker verification dataset, named VoxBlink. We propose an innovative and robust automatic audio-visual data mining pipeline to curate this dataset, which contains…
Active speaker detection (ASD) in multimodal environments is crucial for various applications, from video conferencing to human-robot interaction. This paper introduces FabuLight-ASD, an advanced ASD model that integrates facial, audio, and…
Speaker verification is a task of confirming an individual's identity through the analysis of their voice. Whispered speech differs from phonated speech in acoustic characteristics, which degrades the performance of speaker verification…
This paper addresses the problem of single-channel speech separation, where the number of speakers is unknown, and each speaker may speak multiple utterances. We propose a speech separation model that simultaneously performs separation,…
Audio spoofing detection has become increasingly important due to the rise in real-world cases. Current spoofing detectors, referred to as spoofing countermeasures (CM), are mainly trained and focused on audio waveforms with a single…
Audio-visual speaker tracking has drawn increasing attention over the past few years due to its academic values and wide applications. Audio and visual modalities can provide complementary information for localization and tracking. With…
Target-Speaker Voice Activity Detection (TS-VAD) is the task of detecting the presence of speech from a known target-speaker in an audio frame. Recently, deep neural network-based models have shown good performance in this task. However,…
The goal of this work is to recognise phrases and sentences being spoken by a talking face, with or without the audio. Unlike previous works that have focussed on recognising a limited number of words or phrases, we tackle lip reading as an…
Recent years have seen a surge in finding association between faces and voices within a cross-modal biometric application along with speaker recognition. Inspired from this, we introduce a challenging task in establishing association…
In this work, we address a novel, but potentially emerging, problem of discriminating the natural human voices and those played back by any kind of audio devices in the context of interactions with in-house voice user interface. The tackled…
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) refers to the task of identification of regions of human speech in digital signals such as audio and video. While VAD is a necessary first step in many speech processing systems, it poses challenges when there…
Speaker identification systems in a real-world scenario are tasked to identify a speaker amongst a set of enrolled speakers given just a few samples for each enrolled speaker. This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of meta-learning and…
We present a joint audio-visual model for isolating a single speech signal from a mixture of sounds such as other speakers and background noise. Solving this task using only audio as input is extremely challenging and does not provide an…
The strong relation between face and voice can aid active speaker detection systems when faces are visible, even in difficult settings, when the face of a speaker is not clear or when there are several people in the same scene. By being…
Speaker extraction seeks to extract the target speech in a multi-talker scenario given an auxiliary reference. Such reference can be auditory, i.e., a pre-recorded speech, visual, i.e., lip movements, or contextual, i.e., phonetic sequence.…
Large self-supervised pre-trained speech models have achieved remarkable success across various speech-processing tasks. The self-supervised training of these models leads to universal speech representations that can be used for different…
Active authentication refers to a new mode of identity verification in which biometric indicators are continuously tested to provide real-time or near real-time monitoring of an authorized access to a service or use of a device. This is in…
Speaker diarization is a task to label audio or video recordings with classes that correspond to speaker identity, or in short, a task to identify "who spoke when". In the early years, speaker diarization algorithms were developed for…
In the realm of digital audio processing, Voice Activity Detection (VAD) plays a pivotal role in distinguishing speech from non-speech elements, a task that becomes increasingly complex in noisy environments. This paper details the…
