The optimization of a wavelet-based algorithm to improve speech intelligibility along with the full data set and results are reported. The discrete-time speech signal is split into frequency sub-bands via a multi-level discrete wavelet…

Recent diarization technologies can be categorized into two approaches, i.e., clustering and end-to-end neural approaches, which have different pros and cons. The clustering-based approaches assign speaker labels to speech regions by…

Speaker diarization systems are challenged by a trade-off between the temporal resolution and the fidelity of the speaker representation. By obtaining a superior temporal resolution with an enhanced accuracy, a multi-scale approach is a way…

Speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition (ASR) in multi-speaker environments remains a major challenge. While some approaches achieve strong performance when fine-tuned on specific domains, few systems generalize well across…

Voice imitation aims to transform source speech to match a reference speaker's timbre and speaking style while preserving linguistic content. A straightforward approach is to train on triplets of (source, reference, target), where source…

Multilingual self-supervised learning (SSL) has often lagged behind state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods due to the expenses and complexity required to handle many languages. This further harms the reproducibility of SSL, which is already…

Wav2Vec2.0 is a state-of-the-art model which learns speech representations through unlabeled speech data, aka, self supervised learning. The pretrained model is then fine tuned on small amounts of labeled data to use it for speech-to-text…

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…
