Personalized speech enhancement (PSE) has shown convincing results when it comes to extracting a known target voice among interfering ones. The corresponding systems usually incorporate a representation of the target voice within the…

Usable speech criteria are proposed to extract minimally corrupted speech for speaker identification (SID) in co-channel speech. In co-channel speech, either speaker can randomly appear as the stronger speaker or the weaker one at a time.…

The primary goal of multi-modal TSE (MTSE) is to extract a target speaker from a speech mixture using complementary information from different modalities, such as audio enrolment and visual feeds corresponding to the target speaker. MTSE…
