Speaker diarization is typically considered a discriminative task, using discriminative approaches to produce fixed diarization results. In this paper, we explore the use of neural network-based generative methods for speaker diarization…
Traditional speaker diarization seeks to detect ``who spoke when'' according to speaker characteristics. Extending to target speech diarization, we detect ``when target event occurs'' according to the semantic characteristics of speech. We…

Target confusion, defined as occasional switching to non-target speakers, poses a key challenge for end-to-end speaker extraction (E2E-SE) systems. We argue that this problem is largely caused by the lack of generalizability and…
Target speech extraction, which extracts a single target source in a mixture given clues about the target speaker, has attracted increasing attention. We have recently proposed SpeakerBeam, which exploits an adaptation utterance of the…
Speaker extraction is to extract a target speaker's voice from multi-talker speech. It simulates humans' cocktail party effect or the selective listening ability. The prior work mostly performs speaker extraction in frequency domain, then…
Personalised speech enhancement (PSE), which extracts only the speech of a target user and removes everything else from a recorded audio clip, can potentially improve users' experiences of audio AI modules deployed in the wild. To support a…
Traditional speech separation and speaker diarization approaches rely on prior knowledge of target speakers or a predetermined number of participants in audio signals. To address these limitations, recent advances focus on developing…
Personalized speech enhancement (PSE) is a real-time SE approach utilizing a speaker embedding of a target person to remove background noise, reverberation, and interfering voices. To deploy a PSE model for full duplex communications, the…
