This paper addresses the problem of single-channel speech separation, where the number of speakers is unknown, and each speaker may speak multiple utterances. We propose a speech separation model that simultaneously performs separation,…

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…

Speech enhancement and speech separation are two related tasks, whose purpose is to extract either one or more target speech signals, respectively, from a mixture of sounds generated by several sources. Traditionally, these tasks have been…

Traditional speech separation and speaker diarization approaches rely on prior knowledge of target speakers or a predetermined number of participants in audio signals. To address these limitations, recent advances focus on developing…

Despite the overwhelming success of deep learning in various speech processing tasks, the problem of separating simultaneous speakers in a mixture remains challenging. Two major difficulties in such systems are the arbitrary source…

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…

This paper proposes the target speaker enhancement based speaker verification network (TASE-SVNet), an all neural model that couples target speaker enhancement and speaker embedding extraction for robust speaker verification (SV).…

This paper investigates the application of environmental feature representations for room verification tasks and acoustic meta-data estimation. Audio recordings contain both speaker and non-speaker information. We refer to the…

State-of-the-art Deep Learning systems for speaker verification are commonly based on speaker embedding extractors. These architectures are usually composed of a feature extractor front-end together with a pooling layer to encode…

The objective of this paper is to separate a target speaker's speech from a mixture of two speakers using a deep audio-visual speech separation network. Unlike previous works that used lip movement on video clips or pre-enrolled speaker…

Developing a good speaker embedding has received tremendous interest in the speech community, with representations such as i-vector and d-vector demonstrating remarkable performance across various tasks. Despite their widespread adoption, a…

This paper proposes a novel neural denoising vocoder that can generate clean speech waveforms from noisy mel-spectrograms. The proposed neural denoising vocoder consists of two components, i.e., a spectrum predictor and a enhancement…

Speaker recognition deals with recognizing speakers by their speech. Most speaker recognition systems are built upon two stages, the first stage extracts low dimensional correlation embeddings from speech, and the second performs the…

In this paper, a novel architecture for speaker recognition is proposed by cascading speech enhancement and speaker processing. Its aim is to improve speaker recognition performance when speech signals are corrupted by noise. Instead of…

Speaker verification is an established yet challenging task in speech processing and a very vibrant research area. Recent speaker verification (SV) systems rely on deep neural networks to extract high-level embeddings which are able to…

We propose an algorithm to separate simultaneously speaking persons from each other, the "cocktail party problem", using a single microphone. Our approach involves a deep recurrent neural networks regression to a vector space that is…

Voice trigger detection is an important task, which enables activating a voice assistant when a target user speaks a keyword phrase. A detector is typically trained on speech data independent of speaker information and used for the voice…

Single-channel speech separation in time domain and frequency domain has been widely studied for voice-driven applications over the past few years. Most of previous works assume known number of speakers in advance, however, which is not…

Background noise, interfering speech and room reverberation frequently distort target speech in real listening environments. In this study, we address joint speech separation and dereverberation, which aims to separate target speech from…

Speaker embeddings are ubiquitous, with applications ranging from speaker recognition and diarization to speech synthesis and voice anonymisation. The amount of information held by these embeddings lends them versatility, but also raises…
