This paper presents a novel approach to target speaker extraction (TSE) using Curriculum Learning (CL) techniques, addressing the challenge of distinguishing a target speaker's voice from a mixture containing interfering speakers. For…
Target Speech Extraction (TSE) traditionally relies on explicit clues about the speaker's identity like enrollment audio, face images, or videos, which may not always be available. In this paper, we propose a text-guided TSE model StyleTSE…
Target speaker extraction (TSE) focuses on isolating the speech of a specific target speaker from overlapped multi-talker speech, which is a typical setup in the cocktail party problem. In recent years, TSE draws increasing attention due to…

Audio-Visual Target Speaker Extraction (AV-TSE) aims to mimic the human ability to enhance auditory perception using visual cues. Although numerous models have been proposed recently, most of them estimate target signals by primarily…
The goal of text-queried target sound extraction (TSE) is to extract from a mixture a sound source specified with a natural-language caption. While it is preferable to have access to large-scale text-audio pairs to address a variety of text…
This paper investigates the use of target-speaker automatic speech recognition (TS-ASR) for simultaneous speech recognition and speaker diarization of single-channel dialogue recordings. TS-ASR is a technique to automatically extract and…
Target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to isolate individual speaker voices from complex speech environments. The effectiveness of TSE systems is often compromised when the speaker characteristics are similar to each other. Recent research…
Target-speaker voice activity detection (TS-VAD) has recently shown promising results for speaker diarization on highly overlapped speech. However, the original model requires a fixed (and known) number of speakers, which limits its…

Target Sound Extraction (TSE) focuses on the problem of separating sources of interest, indicated by a user's cue, from the input mixture. Most existing solutions operate in an offline fashion and are not suited to the low-latency causal…
Speaker extraction (SE) aims to segregate the speech of a target speaker from a mixture of interfering speakers with the help of auxiliary information. Several forms of auxiliary information have been employed in single-channel SE, such as…
In many situations, we would like to hear desired sound events (SEs) while being able to ignore interference. Target sound extraction (TSE) tackles this problem by estimating the audio signal of the sounds of target SE classes in a mixture…
This paper investigates the use of relative cues for text-based target speech extraction (TSE). We first provide a theoretical justification for relative cues from the perspectives of human perception and label quantization, showing that…
Target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to recover a target speaker's speech from a mixture using a reference utterance as a cue. Most TSE systems adopt conditional auto-encoder architectures with one-step inference. Inspired by test-time…
We propose listen to extract (LExt), a highly-effective while extremely-simple algorithm for monaural target speaker extraction (TSE). Given an enrollment utterance of a target speaker, LExt aims at extracting the target speaker from the…
Diffusion model-based speech enhancement has received increased attention since it can generate very natural enhanced signals and generalizes well to unseen conditions. Diffusion models have been explored for several sub-tasks of speech…
Target sound extraction (TSE) consists of isolating a desired sound from a mixture of arbitrary sounds using clues to identify it. A TSE system requires solving two problems at once, identifying the target source and extracting the target…
