While far-field multi-talker mixtures are recorded, each speaker can wear a close-talk microphone so that close-talk mixtures can be recorded at the same time. Although each close-talk mixture has a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the…
As more speech technologies rely on a supervised deep learning approach with clean speech as the ground truth, a methodology to onboard said speech at scale is needed. However, this approach needs to minimize the dependency on human…
Recording channel mismatch between training and testing conditions has been shown to be a serious problem for speech separation. This situation greatly reduces the separation performance, and cannot meet the requirement of daily use. In…
In multi-talker scenarios such as meetings and conversations, speech processing systems are usually required to transcribe the audio as well as identify the speakers for downstream applications. Since overlapped speech is common in this…
In this paper, we present a novel system that separates the voice of a target speaker from multi-speaker signals, by making use of a reference signal from the target speaker. We achieve this by training two separate neural networks: (1) A…
Despite the recent success of speech separation models, they fail to separate sources properly while facing different sets of people or noisy environments. To tackle this problem, we proposed to apply meta-learning to the speech separation…
