The common target speech separation directly estimate the target source, ignoring the interrelationship between different speakers at each frame. We propose a multiple-target speech separation model (MTSS) to simultaneously extract each…
Humans have the ability to utilize visual cues, such as lip movements and visual scenes, to enhance auditory perception, particularly in noisy environments. However, current Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) or Audio-Visual Speech…
Speech recognition is very challenging in student learning environments that are characterized by significant cross-talk and background noise. To address this problem, we present a bilingual speech recognition system that uses an…
