This paper describes the TSUP team's submission to the ISCSLP 2022 conversational short-phrase speaker diarization (CSSD) challenge which particularly focuses on short-phrase conversations with a new evaluation metric called conversational…

Speaker verification (SV) systems are currently being used to make sensitive decisions like giving access to bank accounts or deciding whether the voice of a suspect coincides with that of the perpetrator of a crime. Ensuring that these…

Distance Metric Learning (DML) has typically dominated the audio-visual speaker verification problem space, owing to strong performance in new and unseen classes. In our work, we explored multitask learning techniques to further enhance…

In this paper, we propose self-supervised speaker representation learning strategies, which comprise of a bootstrap equilibrium speaker representation learning in the front-end and an uncertainty-aware probabilistic speaker embedding…

Modern speaker verification systems primarily rely on speaker embeddings, followed by verification based on cosine similarity between the embedding vectors of the enrollment and test utterances. While effective, these methods struggle with…

This paper describes joint effort of BUT and Telef\'onica Research on development of Automatic Speech Recognition systems for Albayzin 2020 Challenge. We compare approaches based on either hybrid or end-to-end models. In hybrid modelling,…

This paper introduces VoxSim, a dataset of perceptual voice similarity ratings. Recent efforts to automate the assessment of speech synthesis technologies have primarily focused on predicting mean opinion score of naturalness, leaving…

A recent line of research on spoken language assessment (SLA) employs neural models such as BERT and wav2vec 2.0 (W2V) to evaluate speaking proficiency across linguistic and acoustic modalities. Although both models effectively capture…

This paper presents the sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) baseline system for the voice conversion challenge (VCC) 2020. We consider a naive approach for voice conversion (VC), which is to first transcribe the input speech with an automatic…

Recent advances in neural approaches greatly improve task-oriented dialogue (TOD) systems which assist users to accomplish their goals. However, such systems rely on costly manually labeled dialogs which are not available in practical…

This paper describes the submission of the UPC Machine Translation group to the IWSLT 2023 Offline Speech Translation task. Our Speech Translation systems utilize foundation models for speech (wav2vec 2.0) and text (mBART50). We incorporate…

This manuscript describes the I4U submission to the 2020 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation (SRE'20) Conversational Telephone Speech (CTS) Challenge. The I4U's submission was resulted from active collaboration among researchers across…

In this paper, we refine and validate our method for training speaker embedding extractors using weak annotations. More specifically, we use only the audio stream of the source VoxCeleb videos and the names of the celebrities without…

This paper introduces the ZevoMOS entry to the main track of the VoiceMOS Challenge 2022. The ZevoMOS submission is based on a two-step finetuning of pretrained self-supervised learning (SSL) speech models. The first step uses a task of…
