Speech separation is a fundamental task in audio processing, typically addressed with fully supervised systems trained on paired mixtures. While effective, such systems typically rely on synthetic data pipelines, which may not reflect…
Recent progress in large-scale zero-shot speech synthesis has been significantly advanced by language models and diffusion models. However, the generation process of both methods is slow and computationally intensive. Efficient speech…
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) transcripts often contain disfluencies, such as fillers, repetitions, and false starts, which reduce readability and hinder downstream applications like chatbots and voice assistants. If left unaddressed,…
Scaling Text-to-speech (TTS) to large-scale datasets has been demonstrated as an effective method for improving the diversity and naturalness of synthesized speech. At the high level, previous large-scale TTS models can be categorized into…
Audio-based stuttering systems to date have been trained for detection -- what disfluency is present now -- leaving prediction, the capability needed for closed-loop intervention, unstudied at deployable scale. We train a 616K-parameter CNN…

One of the most challenging scenarios for smart speakers is multi-talker, when target speech from the desired speaker is mixed with interfering speech from one or more speakers. A smart assistant needs to determine which voice to recognize…
While neural fields have made significant strides in view synthesis and scene reconstruction, editing them poses a formidable challenge due to their implicit encoding of geometry and texture information from multi-view inputs. In this…
Recent text-to-image personalization methods have shown great promise in teaching a diffusion model user-specified concepts given a few images for reusing the acquired concepts in a novel context. With massive efforts being dedicated to…
Diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in text-to-speech (TTS), even in zero-shot scenarios. Recent efforts aim to address the trade-off between inference speed and sound quality, often considered the primary drawback of…
When translating words referring to the speaker, speech translation (ST) systems should not resort to default masculine generics nor rely on potentially misleading vocal traits. Rather, they should assign gender according to the speakers'…
By incorporating additional contextual information, deep biasing methods have emerged as a promising solution for speech recognition of personalized words. However, for real-world voice assistants, always biasing on such personalized words…
Speech disfluency commonly occurs in conversational and spontaneous speech. However, standard Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models struggle to accurately recognize these disfluencies because they are typically trained on fluent…
Talking-head video editing aims to efficiently insert, delete, and substitute the word of a pre-recorded video through a text transcript editor. The key challenge for this task is obtaining an editing model that generates new talking-head…
Diffusion models are a new class of generative models that have shown outstanding performance in image generation literature. As a consequence, studies have attempted to apply diffusion models to other tasks, such as speech enhancement. A…
Style voice conversion aims to transform the style of source speech to a desired style according to real-world application demands. However, the current style voice conversion approach relies on pre-defined labels or reference speech to…
Free-form, text-based audio editing remains a persistent challenge, despite progress in inversion-based neural methods. Current approaches rely on slow inversion procedures, limiting their practicality. We present a virtual-consistency…
