Multi-channel inputs offer several advantages over single-channel, to improve the robustness of on-device speech recognition systems. Recent work on multi-channel transformer, has proposed a way to incorporate such inputs into end-to-end…
In typical multi-talker speech recognition systems, a neural network-based acoustic model predicts senone state posteriors for each speaker. These are later used by a single-talker decoder which is applied on each speaker-specific output…
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…

Autoregressive language models can often identify parallel subproblems, but standard decoding exposes only a single left-to-right output interface. External orchestration methods can launch multiple prompts concurrently, yet they provide no…
Transformer-based models have been achieving state-of-the-art results in several fields of Natural Language Processing. However, its direct application to speech tasks is not trivial. The nature of this sequences carries problems such as…
Most stuttering detection and classification research has viewed stuttering as a multi-class classification problem or a binary detection task for each dysfluency type; however, this does not match the nature of stuttering, in which one…
Radar gait recognition is robust to light variations and less infringement on privacy. Previous studies often utilize either spectrograms or cadence velocity diagrams. While the former shows the time-frequency patterns, the latter encodes…
