Target speaker extraction, which aims at extracting a target speaker's voice from a mixture of voices using audio, visual or locational clues, has received much interest. Recently an audio-visual target speaker extraction has been proposed…
In this paper, we propose ACA-Net, a lightweight, global context-aware speaker embedding extractor for Speaker Verification (SV) that improves upon existing work by using Asymmetric Cross Attention (ACA) to replace temporal pooling. ACA is…
The use of deep networks to extract embeddings for speaker recognition has proven successfully. However, such embeddings are susceptible to performance degradation due to the mismatches among the training, enrollment, and test conditions.…
Articulatory-to-acoustic (forward) mapping is a technique to predict speech using various articulatory acquisition techniques (e.g. ultrasound tongue imaging, lip video). Real-time MRI (rtMRI) of the vocal tract has not been used before for…
Speaker extraction aims to extract the target speaker's voice from a multi-talker speech mixture given an auxiliary reference utterance. Recent studies show that speaker extraction benefits from the location or direction of the target…
A speaker extraction algorithm seeks to extract the target speaker's speech from a multi-talker speech mixture. The prior studies focus mostly on speaker extraction from a highly overlapped multi-talker speech mixture. However, the…
Since facial actions such as lip movements contain significant information about speech content, it is not surprising that audio-visual speech enhancement methods are more accurate than their audio-only counterparts. Yet, state-of-the-art…
In recent years, speech processing algorithms have seen tremendous progress primarily due to the deep learning renaissance. This is especially true for speech separation where the time-domain audio separation network (TasNet) has led to…
Voice-based human-machine interfaces with an automatic speaker verification (ASV) component are commonly used in the market. However, the threat from presentation attacks is also growing since attackers can use recent speech synthesis…
This paper addresses the problem of Target Activity Detection (TAD) for binaural listening devices. TAD denotes the problem of robustly detecting the activity of a target speaker in a harsh acoustic environment, which comprises interfering…
Target speech separation refers to isolating target speech from a multi-speaker mixture signal by conditioning on auxiliary information about the target speaker. Different from the mainstream audio-visual approaches which usually require…
Speaker verification is a task of confirming an individual's identity through the analysis of their voice. Whispered speech differs from phonated speech in acoustic characteristics, which degrades the performance of speaker verification…
