This paper describes our speaker diarization system submitted to the Multi-channel Multi-party Meeting Transcription (M2MeT) challenge, where Mandarin meeting data were recorded in multi-channel format for diarization and automatic speech…
While standard speaker diarization attempts to answer the question "who spoken when", most of relevant applications in reality are more interested in determining "who spoken what". Whether it is the conventional modularized approach or the…
Speech-driven visual speech synthesis involves mapping features extracted from acoustic speech to the corresponding lip animation controls for a face model. This mapping can take many forms, but a powerful approach is to use deep neural…
Speaker Diarization (SD) systems are typically audio-based and operate independently of the ASR system in traditional speech transcription pipelines and can have speaker errors due to SD and/or ASR reconciliation, especially around speaker…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) for African languages remains constrained by limited labeled data and the lack of systematic guidance on model selection, data scaling, and decoding strategies. Large pre-trained systems such as Whisper,…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems degrade significantly under noisy conditions. Recently, speech enhancement (SE) is introduced as front-end to reduce noise for ASR, but it also suppresses some important speech information, i.e.,…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) of overlapped speech remains a highly challenging task to date. To this end, multi-channel microphone array data are widely used in state-of-the-art ASR systems. Motivated by the invariance of visual…
Code-switching automatic speech recognition (CS-ASR) presents unique challenges due to language confusion introduced by spontaneous intra-sentence switching and accent bias that blurs the phonetic boundaries. Although the constituent…
Personalizing dysarthric ASR is hindered by demanding enrollment collection and per-user training. We propose a hybrid meta-training method for a single model, enabling zero-shot and few-shot on-the-fly personalization via in-context…
