Active speaker detection requires a solid integration of multi-modal cues. While individual modalities can approximate a solution, accurate predictions can only be achieved by explicitly fusing the audio and visual features and modeling…
Previous works on expressive speech synthesis mainly focus on current sentence. The context in adjacent sentences is neglected, resulting in inflexible speaking style for the same text, which lacks speech variations. In this paper, we…
Automated Audio Captioning (AAC) is the task of generating natural language descriptions given an audio stream. A typical AAC system requires manually curated training data of audio segments and corresponding text caption annotations. The…
The rapid spread of media content synthesis technology and the potentially damaging impact of audio and video deepfakes on people's lives have raised the need to implement systems able to detect these forgeries automatically. In this work…
We present ZAEBUC-Spoken, a multilingual multidialectal Arabic-English speech corpus. The corpus comprises twelve hours of Zoom meetings involving multiple speakers role-playing a work situation where Students brainstorm ideas for a certain…
We introduce ArVoice, a multi-speaker Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) speech corpus with diacritized transcriptions, intended for multi-speaker speech synthesis, and can be useful for other tasks such as speech-based diacritic restoration,…
Recent work has shown that it is possible to train a single model to perform joint acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), speech enhancement, and voice separation, thereby serving as a unified frontend for robust automatic speech recognition…
Audiobook generation aims to create rich, immersive listening experiences from multimodal inputs, but current approaches face three critical challenges: (1) the lack of synergistic generation of diverse audio types (e.g., speech, sound…
Currently, a common approach in many speech processing tasks is to leverage large scale pre-trained models by fine-tuning them on in-domain data for a particular application. Yet obtaining even a small amount of such data can be…
As an indispensable part of modern human-computer interaction system, speech synthesis technology helps users get the output of intelligent machine more easily and intuitively, thus has attracted more and more attention. Due to the…
The performance of automatic speech recognition systems degrades with increasing mismatch between the training and testing scenarios. Differences in speaker accents are a significant source of such mismatch. The traditional approach to deal…
The scope of speech enhancement has changed from a monolithic view of single, independent tasks, to a joint processing of complex conversational speech recordings. Training and evaluation of these single tasks requires synthetic data with…
Automatic scoring system is extremely complex for any language. Because natural language itself is a complex model. When we evaluate articles generated by natural language, we need to view the articles from many dimensions such as word…
This paper presents a novel approach for enhancing the multiple sets of acoustic patterns automatically discovered from a given corpus. In a previous work it was proposed that different HMM configurations (number of states per model, number…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has been dramatically successful not only in monolingual but also in cross-lingual settings. However, since the two settings have been studied individually in general, there has been little research focusing…
Speaker anonymization aims to protect speaker identity while preserving content information and the intelligibility of speech. However, most speaker anonymization systems (SASs) are developed and evaluated using only English, resulting in…
In this paper, we explore the possibility of speech synthesis from low quality found data using only limited number of samples of target speaker. We try to extract only the speaker embedding from found data of target speaker unlike previous…
Speech-driven 3D facial animation with accurate lip synchronization has been widely studied. However, synthesizing realistic motions for the entire face during speech has rarely been explored. In this work, we present a joint audio-text…
The amount of articulatory data available for training deep learning models is much less compared to acoustic speech data. In order to improve articulatory-to-acoustic synthesis performance in these low-resource settings, we propose a…
General audio understanding is a fundamental goal for large audio-language models, with audio captioning serving as a cornerstone task for their development. However, progress in this domain is hindered by existing datasets, which lack the…
