Recent speech enhancement models have shown impressive performance gains by scaling up model complexity and training data. However, the impact of dataset variability (e.g. text, language, speaker, and noise) has been underexplored.…
Emotional state of a speaker is found to have significant effect in speech production, which can deviate speech from that arising from neutral state. This makes identifying speakers with different emotions a challenging task as generally…
In this work, we explore the dependencies between speaker recognition and emotion recognition. We first show that knowledge learned for speaker recognition can be reused for emotion recognition through transfer learning. Then, we show the…
In practical settings, a speaker recognition system needs to identify a speaker given a short utterance, while the enrollment utterance may be relatively long. However, existing speaker recognition models perform poorly with such short…
Deep neural network based speaker embeddings, such as x-vectors, have been shown to perform well in text-independent speaker recognition/verification tasks. In this paper, we use simple classifiers to investigate the contents encoded by…
Most speaker verification tasks are studied as an open-set evaluation scenario considering the real-world condition. Thus, the generalization power to unseen speakers is of paramount important to the performance of the speaker verification…
Audio-visual automatic speech recognition is a promising approach to robust ASR under noisy conditions. However, up until recently it had been traditionally studied in isolation assuming the video of a single speaking face matches the…
Several speaker identification systems are giving good performance with clean speech but are affected by the degradations introduced by noisy audio conditions. To deal with this problem, we investigate the use of complementary information…
In the recent years, singing voice separation systems showed increased performance due to the use of supervised training. The design of training datasets is known as a crucial factor in the performance of such systems. We investigate on how…
This paper aims to improve the widely used deep speaker embedding x-vector model. We propose the following improvements: (1) a hybrid neural network structure using both time delay neural network (TDNN) and long short-term memory neural…
Self-supervised speech models learn representations that capture both content and speaker information. Yet this entanglement creates problems: content tasks suffer from speaker bias, and privacy concerns arise when speaker identity leaks…
The objective of this paper is speaker recognition "in the wild"-where utterances may be of variable length and also contain irrelevant signals. Crucial elements in the design of deep networks for this task are the type of trunk (frame…
Recent research in speaker recognition aims to address vulnerabilities due to variations between enrolment and test utterances, particularly in the multi-genre phenomenon where the utterances are in different speech genres. Previous…
Speaker recognition, recognizing speaker identities based on voice alone, enables important downstream applications, such as personalization and authentication. Learning speaker representations, in the context of supervised learning,…

Streaming multi-talker speech translation is a task that involves not only generating accurate and fluent translations with low latency but also recognizing when a speaker change occurs and what the speaker's gender is. Speaker change…
Recently, speaker embeddings extracted from a speaker discriminative deep neural network (DNN) yield better performance than the conventional methods such as i-vector. In most cases, the DNN speaker classifier is trained using cross entropy…
Speaker recognition systems based on deep speaker embeddings have achieved significant performance in controlled conditions according to the results obtained for early NIST SRE (Speaker Recognition Evaluation) datasets. From the practical…
We propose an approach for training speaker identification models in a weakly supervised manner. We concentrate on the setting where the training data consists of a set of audio recordings and the speaker annotation is provided only at the…
Speaker identity plays a significant role in human communication and is being increasingly used in societal applications, many through advances in machine learning. Speaker identity perception is an essential cognitive phenomenon that can…
