The amount of articulatory data available for training deep learning models is much less compared to acoustic speech data. In order to improve articulatory-to-acoustic synthesis performance in these low-resource settings, we propose a…
Speech is understood better by using visual context; for this reason, there have been many attempts to use images to adapt automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. Current work, however, has shown that visually adapted ASR models only…
Emotion Recognition in Conversations (ERC) is an important and active research area. Recent work has shown the benefits of using multiple modalities (e.g., text, audio, and video) for the ERC task. In a conversation, participants tend to…
Zero-shot voice conversion (VC) converts source speech into the voice of any desired speaker using only one utterance of the speaker without requiring additional model updates. Typical methods use a speaker representation from a pre-trained…
The goal of voice conversion (VC) is to convert input voice to match the target speaker's voice while keeping text and prosody intact. VC is usually used in entertainment and speaking-aid systems, as well as applied for speech data…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have endowed LLMs with the ability to perceive and understand multi-modal signals. However, most of the existing MLLMs mainly adopt vision encoders pretrained on coarsely aligned image-text pairs,…
Volumetric medical imaging technologies produce detailed 3D representations of anatomical structures. However, effective medical data visualization and exploration pose significant challenges, especially for individuals with limited medical…
The creation of artificial polyglot voices remains a challenging task, despite considerable progress in recent years. This paper investigates self-supervised learning for voice conversion to create native-sounding polyglot voices. We…
Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) has recently garnered attention as a prominent research focus. By harnessing powerful LLM, it facilitates a transition of conversational generative AI from unimodal text to performing multimodal tasks.…
Voice conversion (VC) systems are widely used for several applications, from speaker anonymisation to personalised speech synthesis. Supervised approaches learn a mapping between different speakers using parallel data, which is expensive to…
Goal: Numerous studies had successfully differentiated normal and abnormal voice samples. Nevertheless, further classification had rarely been attempted. This study proposes a novel approach, using continuous Mandarin speech instead of a…
Accurately detecting voiced intervals in speech signals is a critical step in pitch tracking and has numerous applications. While conventional signal processing methods and deep learning algorithms have been proposed for this task, their…
In order for robots to operate effectively in homes and workplaces, they must be able to manipulate the articulated objects common within environments built for and by humans. Previous work learns kinematic models that prescribe this…
Voice conversion (VC) aims to modify the speaker's identity while preserving the linguistic content. Commonly, VC methods use an encoder-decoder architecture, where disentangling the speaker's identity from linguistic information is…
Multimodal machine translation involves drawing information from more than one modality, based on the assumption that the additional modalities will contain useful alternative views of the input data. The most prominent tasks in this area…
Typically, singing voice conversion (SVC) depends on an embedding vector, extracted from either a speaker lookup table (LUT) or a speaker recognition network (SRN), to model speaker identity. However, singing contains more expressive…
We present a neuromuscular speech interface that translates silently voiced articulations directly into text. We record surface electromyographic (EMG) signals from multiple articulatory sites on the face and neck as participants silently…
Training Transformer-based models demands a large amount of data, while obtaining aligned and labelled data in multimodality is rather cost-demanding, especially for audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR). Thus it makes a lot of sense to…
We present a novel approach to multilingual audio-visual speech recognition tasks by introducing a single model on a multilingual dataset. Motivated by a human cognitive system where humans can intuitively distinguish different languages…
Deep learning has shown great potential in assisting radiologists in reading chest X-ray (CXR) images, but its need for expensive annotations for improving performance prevents widespread clinical application. Visual language pre-training…
