Recently, there has been growing interest in multi-speaker speech recognition, where the utterances of multiple speakers are recognized from their mixture. Promising techniques have been proposed for this task, but earlier works have…
Target-speaker speech recognition aims to recognize target-speaker speech from noisy environments with background noise and interfering speakers. This work presents a joint framework that combines time-domain target-speaker speech…
This paper proposes a novel Sequence-to-Sequence Neural Diarization (S2SND) framework to perform online and offline speaker diarization. It is developed from the sequence-to-sequence architecture of our previous target-speaker voice…
In multi-speaker applications is common to have pre-computed models from enrolled speakers. Using these models to identify the instances in which these speakers intervene in a recording is the task of speaker tracking. In this paper, we…
The end-to-end approaches for single-channel target speech extraction have attracted widespread attention. However, the studies for end-to-end multi-channel target speech extraction are still relatively limited. In this work, we propose two…
Many speaker localization methods can be found in the literature. However, speaker localization under strong reverberation still remains a major challenge in the real-world applications. This paper proposes two algorithms for localizing…
Target speaker extraction is to extract the target speaker, specified by enrollment utterance, in an environment with other competing speakers. Therefore, the task needs to solve two problems, speaker identification and separation, at the…
While there has been substantial amount of work in speaker diarization recently, there are few efforts in jointly employing lexical and acoustic information for speaker segmentation. Towards that, we investigate a speaker diarization system…
Deep speaker embeddings have become the leading method for encoding speaker identity in speaker recognition tasks. The embedding space should ideally capture the variations between all possible speakers, encoding the multiple acoustic…
Our goal is to isolate individual speakers from multi-talker simultaneous speech in videos. Existing works in this area have focussed on trying to separate utterances from known speakers in controlled environments. In this paper, we propose…
We propose a method to address audio-visual target speaker enhancement in multi-talker environments using event-driven cameras. State of the art audio-visual speech separation methods shows that crucial information is the movement of the…
Speaker diarization is the process of labeling different speakers in a speech signal. Deep speaker embeddings are generally extracted from short speech segments and clustered to determine the segments belong to same speaker identity. The…
Content and style representations have been widely studied in the field of style transfer. In this paper, we propose a new loss function using speaker content representation for audio source separation, and we call it speaker representation…
Speech signals are inherently complex as they encompass both global acoustic characteristics and local semantic information. However, in the task of target speech extraction, certain elements of global and local semantic information in the…
In this work, we propose Exformer, a time-domain architecture for target speaker extraction. It consists of a pre-trained speaker embedder network and a separator network based on transformer encoder blocks. We study multiple methods to…
This study investigates robust speaker localization for con-tinuous speech separation and speaker diarization, where we use speaker directions to group non-contiguous segments of the same speaker. Assuming that speakers do not move and are…
Recently, Transformer-based architectures have been explored for speaker embedding extraction. Although the Transformer employs the self-attention mechanism to efficiently model the global interaction between token embeddings, it is…
Target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to isolate a specific speaker's speech from a mixture using speaker enrollment as a reference. While most existing approaches are discriminative, recent generative methods for TSE achieve strong results.…
The objective of this work is effective speaker diarisation using multi-scale speaker embeddings. Typically, there is a trade-off between the ability to recognise short speaker segments and the discriminative power of the embedding,…
Humans can easily isolate a single speaker from a complex acoustic environment, a capability referred to as the "Cocktail Party Effect." However, replicating this ability has been a significant challenge in the field of target speaker…
