Recent progress in self-training, self-supervised pretraining and unsupervised learning enabled well performing speech recognition systems without any labeled data. However, in many cases there is labeled data available for related…
A common approach to the automatic detection of mispronunciation in language learning is to recognize the phonemes produced by a student and compare it to the expected pronunciation of a native speaker. This approach makes two simplifying…
Current direct speech-to-speech translation methods predominantly employ speech tokens as intermediate representations. However, a single speech token is not dense in semantics, so we generally need multiple tokens to express a complete…
Unsupervised discovery of acoustic tokens from audio corpora without annotation and learning vector representations for these tokens have been widely studied. Although these techniques have been shown successful in some applications such as…
In recent years, the field of image generation has been revolutionized by the application of autoregressive transformers and DDPMs. These approaches model the process of image generation as a step-wise probabilistic processes and leverage…
ASR has been shown to achieve great performance recently. However, most of them rely on massive paired data, which is not feasible for low-resource languages worldwide. This paper investigates how to learn directly from unpaired phone…
Existing speech enhancement methods mainly separate speech from noises at the signal level or in the time-frequency domain. They seldom pay attention to the semantic information of a corrupted signal. In this paper, we aim to bridge this…
To undertake machine lip-reading, we try to recognise speech from a visual signal. Current work often uses viseme classification supported by language models with varying degrees of success. A few recent works suggest phoneme…
In this study, we experimented to examine the effect of adding the most frequent n phoneme bigrams to the basic vocabulary on the German phoneme recognition model using the text-to-phoneme data augmentation strategy. As a result, compared…
Recent language model-based text-to-speech (TTS) frameworks demonstrate scalability and in-context learning capabilities. However, they suffer from robustness issues due to the accumulation of errors in speech unit predictions during…
Only a handful of the world's languages are abundant with the resources that enable practical applications of speech processing technologies. One of the methods to overcome this problem is to use the resources existing in other languages to…
Video-to-speech synthesis involves reconstructing the speech signal of a speaker from a silent video. The implicit assumption of this task is that the sound signal is either missing or contains a high amount of noise/corruption such that it…
Direct acoustics-to-word (A2W) models in the end-to-end paradigm have received increasing attention compared to conventional sub-word based automatic speech recognition models using phones, characters, or context-dependent hidden Markov…
We examine the speech modeling potential of generative spoken language modeling (GSLM), which involves using learned symbols derived from data rather than phonemes for speech analysis and synthesis. Since GSLM facilitates textless spoken…
This paper describes an end-to-end (E2E) neural architecture for the audio rendering of small portions of display content on low resource personal computing devices. It is intended to address the problem of accessibility for vision-impaired…
Phonetic representations are used when recording spoken languages, but no equivalent exists for recording signed languages. As a result, linguists have proposed several annotation systems that operate on the gloss or sub-unit level;…
Audio recordings of collaborative learning environments contain a constant presence of cross-talk and background noise. Dynamic speech recognition between Spanish and English is required in these environments. To eliminate the standard…
The cleft lip and palate (CLP) speech intelligibility is distorted due to the deformation in their articulatory system. For addressing the same, a few previous works perform phoneme specific modification in CLP speech. In CLP speech, both…
The goal of this work is to reconstruct high quality speech from lip motions alone, a task also known as lip-to-speech. A key challenge of lip-to-speech systems is the one-to-many mapping caused by (1) the existence of homophenes and (2)…
Many character-level tasks can be framed as sequence-to-sequence transduction, where the target is a word from a natural language. We show that leveraging target language models derived from unannotated target corpora, combined with a…
