Overlapped speech detection (OSD) is critical for speech applications in scenario of multi-party conversion. Despite numerous research efforts and progresses, comparing with speech activity detection (VAD), OSD remains an open challenge and…

Majority of speech signals across different scenarios are never available with well-defined audio segments containing only a single speaker. A typical conversation between two speakers consists of segments where their voices overlap,…

This paper presents our latest investigation on end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) for overlapped speech. We propose to train an end-to-end system conditioned on speaker embeddings and further improved by transfer learning from…

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…

Most current speech technology systems are designed to operate well even in the presence of multiple active speakers. However, most solutions assume that the number of co-current speakers is known. Unfortunately, this information might not…

The task of estimating the maximum number of concurrent speakers from single channel mixtures is important for various audio-based applications, such as blind source separation, speaker diarisation, audio surveillance or auditory scene…

Speaker diarization is the task of partitioning audio into segments according to speaker identity, answering the question of "who spoke when" in multi-speaker conversation recordings. While diarization is an essential task for many…

Disentangled representation learning in speech processing has lagged behind other domains, largely due to the lack of datasets with annotated generative factors for robust evaluation. To address this, we propose SynSpeech, a novel…

Speaker Diarization (SD) aims at grouping speech segments that belong to the same speaker. This task is required in many speech-processing applications, such as rich meeting transcription. In this context, distant microphone arrays usually…

Personalized speech enhancement (PSE) models achieve promising results compared with unconditional speech enhancement models due to their ability to remove interfering speech in addition to background noise. Unlike unconditional speech…

In this paper, we propose Discriminative Neural Clustering (DNC) that formulates data clustering with a maximum number of clusters as a supervised sequence-to-sequence learning problem. Compared to traditional unsupervised clustering…

Overlapping speech remains a major challenge for automatic speech recognition (ASR) in real-world applications, particularly in broadcast media with dynamic, multi-speaker interactions. We propose a light-weight, target-speaker-based…

Conventional automatic speaker verification systems can usually be decomposed into a front-end model such as time delay neural network (TDNN) for extracting speaker embeddings and a back-end model such as statistics-based probabilistic…

While computer vision and machine learning have made great progress, their robustness is still challenged by two key issues: data distribution shift and label noise. When domain generalization (DG) encounters noise, noisy labels further…

Probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) has broad application in open-set verification tasks, such as speaker verification. A key concern for PLDA is that the model is too simple (linear Gaussian) to deal with complicated data;…
