In automatic speech processing systems, speaker diarization is a crucial front-end component to separate segments from different speakers. Inspired by the recent success of deep neural networks (DNNs) in semantic inferencing, triplet…
For sequence transduction tasks like speech recognition, a strong structured prior model encodes rich information about the target space, implicitly ruling out invalid sequences by assigning them low probability. In this work, we propose…
Speaker modeling is essential for many related tasks, such as speaker recognition and speaker diarization. The dominant modeling approach is fixed-dimensional vector representation, i.e., speaker embedding. This paper introduces a research…
Authorship verification is the task of determining if two distinct writing samples share the same author and is typically concerned with the attribution of written text. In this paper, we explore the attribution of transcribed speech, which…
Supervised visual captioning models typically require a large scale of images or videos paired with descriptions in a specific language (i.e., the vision-caption pairs) for training. However, collecting and labeling large-scale datasets is…

In recent years, speaker diarization has attracted widespread attention. To achieve better performance, some studies propose to diarize speech in multiple stages. Although these methods might bring additional benefits, most of them are…
Deep speaker embeddings have become the leading method for encoding speaker identity in speaker recognition tasks. The embedding space should ideally capture the variations between all possible speakers, encoding the multiple acoustic…
Audio-visual speaker diarization aims at detecting "who spoke when" using both auditory and visual signals. Existing audio-visual diarization datasets are mainly focused on indoor environments like meeting rooms or news studios, which are…
