The target speech extraction has attracted widespread attention in recent years. In this work, we focus on investigating the dynamic interaction between different mixtures and the target speaker to exploit the discriminative target speaker…
Personalized speech enhancement (PSE) models can improve the audio quality of teleconferencing systems by adapting to the characteristics of a speaker's voice. However, most existing methods require a separate speaker embedding model to…
Target speech extraction (TSE) has achieved strong performance in relatively simple conditions such as one-speaker-plus-noise and two-speaker mixtures, but its performance remains unsatisfactory in noisy multi-speaker scenarios. To address…
Speaker extraction aims to extract the target speaker's voice from a multi-talker speech mixture given an auxiliary reference utterance. Recent studies show that speaker extraction benefits from the location or direction of the target…
Target sound extraction (TSE) is the task of extracting a target sound specified by a query from an audio mixture. Much prior research has focused on the problem setting under the Fully Matched Query (FMQ) condition, where the query…
Speaker clustering is the task of identifying the unique speakers in a set of audio recordings (each belonging to exactly one speaker) without knowing who and how many speakers are present in the entire data, which is essential for speaker…
