Our goal is to isolate individual speakers from multi-talker simultaneous speech in videos. Existing works in this area have focussed on trying to separate utterances from known speakers in controlled environments. In this paper, we propose…
Target speaker extraction focuses on isolating a specific speaker's voice from an audio mixture containing multiple speakers. To provide information about the target speaker's identity, prior works have utilized clean audio samples as…
To extract the voice of a target speaker when mixed with a variety of other sounds, such as white and ambient noises or the voices of interfering speakers, we extend the Transformer network to attend the most relevant information with…
Audio-Visual Target Speaker Extraction (AVTSE) aims to isolate a target speaker's voice in a multi-speaker environment with visual cues as auxiliary. Most of the existing AVTSE methods encode visual and audio features simultaneously,…
Target Language Extraction aims to extract speech in a specific language from a mixture waveform that contains multiple speakers speaking different languages. The human auditory system is adept at performing this task with the knowledge of…
The common target speech separation directly estimate the target source, ignoring the interrelationship between different speakers at each frame. We propose a multiple-target speech separation model (MTSS) to simultaneously extract each…
This paper proposes a novel online audio-visual speaker extraction model. In the streaming regime, most studies optimize the audio network only, leaving the visual frontend less explored. We first propose a lightweight visual frontend based…
Extracting the speech of participants in a conversation amidst interfering speakers and noise presents a challenging problem. In this paper, we introduce the novel task of target conversation extraction, where the goal is to extract the…
Recent advances in the Active Speaker Detection (ASD) problem build upon a two-stage process: feature extraction and spatio-temporal context aggregation. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end ASD workflow where feature learning and…
Speech enhancement and speech separation are two related tasks, whose purpose is to extract either one or more target speech signals, respectively, from a mixture of sounds generated by several sources. Traditionally, these tasks have been…
Concurrent Speaker Detection (CSD), the task of identifying active speakers and their overlaps in an audio signal, is essential for various audio applications, including meeting transcription, speaker diarization, and speech separation.…
Overlapping Speech Detection (OSD) aims to identify regions where multiple speakers overlap in a conversation, a critical challenge in multi-party speech processing. This work proposes a speaker-aware progressive OSD model that leverages a…
Conventional audio-visual approaches for active speaker detection (ASD) typically rely on visually pre-extracted face tracks and the corresponding single-channel audio to find the speaker in a video. Therefore, they tend to fail every time…
We propose a self-speaker adaptation method for streaming multi-talker automatic speech recognition (ASR) that eliminates the need for explicit speaker queries. Unlike conventional approaches requiring target speaker embeddings or…
Obtaining high-quality speaker embeddings in multi-speaker conditions is crucial for many applications. A recently proposed guided speaker embedding framework, which utilizes speech activities of target and non-target speakers as clues,…
The Audio-Visual Speaker Extraction (AVSE) algorithm employs parallel video recording to leverage two visual cues, namely speaker identity and synchronization, to enhance performance compared to audio-only algorithms. However, the visual…
This paper delves into the challenging task of Active Speaker Detection (ASD), where the system needs to determine in real-time whether a person is speaking or not in a series of video frames. While previous works have made significant…
Auditory attention decoding (AAD) is a technique used to identify and amplify the talker that a listener is focused on in a noisy environment. This is done by comparing the listener's brainwaves to a representation of all the sound sources…
Separating target speech from mixed signals containing flexible speaker quantities presents a challenging task. While existing methods demonstrate strong separation performance and noise robustness, they predominantly assume prior knowledge…
Audio-visual learning has demonstrated promising results in many classical speech tasks (e.g., speech separation, automatic speech recognition, wake-word spotting). We believe that introducing visual modality will also benefit speaker…
