This paper proposes a new paradigm for handling far-field multi-speaker data in an end-to-end neural network manner, called directional automatic speech recognition (D-ASR), which explicitly models source speaker locations. In D-ASR, the…
Traditional speaker diarization seeks to detect ``who spoke when'' according to speaker characteristics. Extending to target speech diarization, we detect ``when target event occurs'' according to the semantic characteristics of speech. We…
Speech applications dealing with conversations require not only recognizing the spoken words, but also determining who spoke when. The task of assigning words to speakers is typically addressed by merging the outputs of two separate…
