Pathological speech analysis has been of interest in the detection of certain diseases like depression and Alzheimer's disease and attracts much interest from researchers. However, previous pathological speech analysis models are commonly…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) models have significantly advanced speech processing tasks, and several benchmarks have been proposed to validate their effectiveness. However, previous benchmarks have primarily focused on single-speaker…
Previous work has established that a person's demographics and speech style affect how well speech processing models perform for them. But where does this bias come from? In this work, we present the Speech Embedding Association Test…
Thanks to advancements in deep learning, speech generation systems now power a variety of real-world applications, such as text-to-speech for individuals with speech disorders, voice chatbots in call centers, cross-linguistic speech…
We introduce a new automatic evaluation method for speaker similarity assessment, that is consistent with human perceptual scores. Modern neural text-to-speech models require a vast amount of clean training data, which is why many solutions…
The ability to automatically detect stuttering events in speech could help speech pathologists track an individual's fluency over time or help improve speech recognition systems for people with atypical speech patterns. Despite increasing…
Preventing Veteran suicide is a national priority. The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) collects, analyzes, and publishes data to inform suicide prevention strategies. Current approaches for detecting suicidal ideation mostly rely on…
Human language is a combination of elemental languages/domains/styles that change across and sometimes within discourses. Language models, which play a crucial role in speech recognizers and machine translation systems, are particularly…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) approaches such as wav2vec 2.0 and HuBERT models have shown promising results in various downstream tasks in the speech community. In particular, speech representations learned by SSL models have been shown to…
Recently, pioneer work finds that speech pre-trained models can solve full-stack speech processing tasks, because the model utilizes bottom layers to learn speaker-related information and top layers to encode content-related information.…
Paralinguistic properties of speech are essential in analyzing and choosing optimal treatment options for patients with speech disorders. However, automatic modeling of these characteristics is difficult due to the lack of labeled speech…
In this study, we aim to explore efficient tuning methods for speech self-supervised learning. Recent studies show that self-supervised learning (SSL) can learn powerful representations for different speech tasks. However, fine-tuning…
Detecting and segmenting dysfluencies is crucial for effective speech therapy and real-time feedback. However, most methods only classify dysfluencies at the utterance level. We introduce StutterCut, a semi-supervised framework that…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has transformed speech processing, with benchmarks such as SUPERB establishing fair comparisons across diverse downstream tasks. Despite it's security-critical importance, Audio deepfake detection has remained…
Child speech differs from adult speech in acoustics, prosody, and language development, and disfluencies (repetitions, prolongations, blocks) further challenge Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and downstream Natural Language Processing…
The lack of labeled data is a common challenge in speech classification tasks, particularly those requiring extensive subjective assessment, such as cognitive state classification. In this work, we propose a Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL)…
Speech sound disorder (SSD) refers to the developmental disorder in which children encounter persistent difficulties in correctly pronouncing words. Assessment of SSD has been relying largely on trained speech and language pathologists…
Keyword spotting and in particular Wake-Up-Word (WUW) detection is a very important task for voice assistants. A very common issue of voice assistants is that they get easily activated by background noise like music, TV or background speech…
We propose an end-to-end speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition model that unifies speaker counting, speech recognition, and speaker identification on monaural overlapped speech. Our model is built on serialized output training…
Many self-supervised speech models (S3Ms) have been introduced over the last few years, improving performance and data efficiency on various speech tasks. However, these empirical successes alone do not give a complete picture of what is…
