Identifying multiple speakers without knowing where a speaker's voice is in a recording is a challenging task. This paper proposes a hierarchical network with transformer encoders and memory mechanism to address this problem. The proposed…
Relational thinking refers to the inherent ability of humans to form mental impressions about relations between sensory signals and prior knowledge, and subsequently incorporate them into their model of their world. Despite the crucial role…
In conventional multichannel audio signal enhancement, spatial and spectral filtering are often performed sequentially. In contrast, it has been shown that for neural spatial filtering a joint approach of spectro-spatial filtering is more…
Graph-based temporal classification (GTC), a generalized form of the connectionist temporal classification loss, was recently proposed to improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems using graph-based supervision. For example, GTC was…
Speaker tracking methods often rely on spatial observations to assign coherent track identities over time. This raises limits in scenarios with intermittent and moving speakers, i.e., speakers that may change position when they are…
Recently, researchers have utilized neural network-based speaker embedding techniques in speaker-recognition tasks to identify speakers accurately. However, speaker-discriminative embeddings do not always represent speech features such as…

A speaker naming task, which finds and identifies the active speaker in a certain movie or drama scene, is crucial for dealing with high-level video analysis applications such as automatic subtitle labeling and video summarization. Modern…
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is the process of automatically determining whether a person is speaking and identifying the timing of their speech in an audiovisual data. Traditionally, this task has been tackled by processing either audio…
Overlap is one of the characteristics of social networks, in which a person may belong to more than one social group. For this reason, discovering overlapping structures is necessary for realistic social analysis. In this paper, we present…
Speaker verification, as a biometric authentication mechanism, has been widely used due to the pervasiveness of voice control on smart devices. However, the task of "in-the-wild" speaker verification is still challenging, considering the…
Emotion recognition is a crucial task for human conversation understanding. It becomes more challenging with the notion of multimodal data, e.g., language, voice, and facial expressions. As a typical solution, the global- and the local…

Voice activity detection (VAD) improves the performance of speaker verification (SV) by preserving speech segments and attenuating the effects of non-speech. However, this scheme is not ideal: (1) it fails in noisy environments or…
Overlapping speech diarization has been traditionally treated as a multi-label classification problem. In this paper, we reformulate this task as a single-label prediction problem by encoding multiple binary labels into a single label with…
