Target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to isolate a specific speaker's voice from multi-speaker mixtures. Despite strong benchmark results, real-world performance often degrades due to different interacting factors. Previous curriculum…

Attractor-based end-to-end diarization is achieving comparable accuracy to the carefully tuned conventional clustering-based methods on challenging datasets. However, the main drawback is that it cannot deal with the case where the number…

Pause insertion, also known as phrase break prediction and phrasing, is an essential part of TTS systems because proper pauses with natural duration significantly enhance the rhythm and intelligibility of synthetic speech. However,…

Stuttering is a common speech impediment that is caused by irregular disruptions in speech production, affecting over 70 million people across the world. Standard automatic speech processing tools do not take speech ailments into account…

Speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition (SA-ASR) improves the accuracy and applicability of multi-speaker ASR systems in real-world scenarios by assigning speaker labels to transcribed texts. However, SA-ASR poses unique challenges…

We propose a speaker-attributed (SA) Whisper-based model for multi-talker speech recognition that combines target-speaker modeling with serialized output training (SOT). Our approach leverages a Diarization-Conditioned Whisper (DiCoW)…

While Omni-modal Large Language Models have made strides in joint sensory processing, they fundamentally struggle with a cornerstone of human interaction: deciphering complex, multi-person conversational dynamics to accurately answer ``Who…

Speaker verification has been studied mostly under the single-talker condition. It is adversely affected in the presence of interference speakers. Inspired by the study on target speaker extraction, e.g., SpEx, we propose a unified speaker…

Speaker diarization (SD) struggles in real-world scenarios due to dynamic environments and unknown speaker counts. SD is rarely used alone and is often paired with automatic speech recognition (ASR), but non-modular methods that jointly…

We propose PromptTTS++, a prompt-based text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system that allows control over speaker identity using natural language descriptions. To control speaker identity within the prompt-based TTS framework, we introduce the…

Temporal sentence grounding (TSG) is an important yet challenging task in multimedia information retrieval. Although previous TSG methods have achieved decent performance, they tend to capture the selection biases of frequently appeared…

Audio-visual multi-modal modeling has been demonstrated to be effective in many speech related tasks, such as speech recognition and speech enhancement. This paper introduces a new time-domain audio-visual architecture for target speaker…

Active speaker detection (ASD) systems are important modules for analyzing multi-talker conversations. They aim to detect which speakers or none are talking in a visual scene at any given time. Existing research on ASD does not agree on the…

Speaker-adaptive Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis has attracted considerable attention due to its broad range of applications, such as personalized voice assistant services. While several approaches have been proposed, they often exhibit high…

In this paper, we present a conditional multitask learning method for end-to-end neural speaker diarization (EEND). The EEND system has shown promising performance compared with traditional clustering-based methods, especially in the case…

Expressive text-to-speech (TTS) aims to synthesize different speaking style speech according to human's demands. Nowadays, there are two common ways to control speaking styles: (1) Pre-defining a group of speaking style and using…

Controllable speech synthesis aims to control the style of generated speech using reference input, which can be of various modalities. Existing face-based methods struggle with robustness and generalization due to data quality constraints,…

We propose a novel text-to-speech (TTS) framework centered around a neural transducer. Our approach divides the whole TTS pipeline into semantic-level sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) modeling and fine-grained acoustic modeling stages,…

In this paper, we present a neural spoken language diarization model that supports an unconstrained span of languages within a single framework. Our approach integrates a learnable query-based architecture grounded in multilingual…

Spoken Language Assessment (SLA) estimates a learner's oral proficiency from spontaneous speech. The growing population of L2 English speakers has intensified the demand for reliable SLA, a critical component of Computer Assisted Language…
