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…
A robust multichannel speaker diarization and separation system is proposed by exploiting the spatio-temporal activity of the speakers. The system is realized in a hybrid architecture that combines the array signal processing units and the…
Speaker verification has been studied mostly under the single-talker condition. It is adversely affected in the presence of interference speakers. Inspired by the study on target speaker extraction, e.g., SpEx, we propose a unified speaker…
This paper proposes a guided speaker embedding extraction system, which extracts speaker embeddings of the target speaker using speech activities of target and interference speakers as clues. Several methods for long-form overlapped…
Multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (MASR) aims to predict ''who spoke when and what'' from multi-speaker speech, a key technology for multi-party dialogue understanding. However, most existing approaches decouple temporal modeling…
State-of-the-art target speaker extraction (TSE) systems are typically designed to generalize to any given mixing environment, necessitating a model with a large enough capacity as a generalist. Personalized speech enhancement could be a…
Target confusion, defined as occasional switching to non-target speakers, poses a key challenge for end-to-end speaker extraction (E2E-SE) systems. We argue that this problem is largely caused by the lack of generalizability and…
The development of privacy-preserving automatic speaker verification systems has been the focus of a number of studies with the intent of allowing users to authenticate themselves without risking the privacy of their voice. However, current…
Traditional speaker diarization seeks to detect ``who spoke when'' according to speaker characteristics. Extending to target speech diarization, we detect ``when target event occurs'' according to the semantic characteristics of speech. We…
In spite of the popularity of end-to-end diarization systems nowadays, modular systems comprised of voice activity detection (VAD), speaker embedding extraction plus clustering, and overlapped speech detection (OSD) plus handling still…
Target-Speaker Voice Activity Detection (TS-VAD) is the task of detecting the presence of speech from a known target-speaker in an audio frame. Recently, deep neural network-based models have shown good performance in this task. However,…
Single channel target speaker separation (TSS) aims at extracting a speaker's voice from a mixture of multiple talkers given an enrollment utterance of that speaker. A typical deep learning TSS framework consists of an upstream model that…
Humans can listen to a target speaker even in challenging acoustic conditions that have noise, reverberation, and interfering speakers. This phenomenon is known as the cocktail-party effect. For decades, researchers have focused on…
A speaker extraction algorithm seeks to extract the target speaker's speech from a multi-talker speech mixture. The prior studies focus mostly on speaker extraction from a highly overlapped multi-talker speech mixture. However, the…
The brain-assisted target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to extract the attended speech from mixed speech by utilizing the brain neural activities, for example Electroencephalography (EEG). However, existing models overlook the issue of…
Strong representations of target speakers can help extract important information about speakers and detect corresponding temporal regions in multi-speaker conversations. In this study, we propose a neural architecture that simultaneously…
End-to-end neural speaker diarization systems are able to address the speaker diarization task while effectively handling speech overlap. This work explores the incorporation of speaker information embeddings into the end-to-end systems to…
In active speaker detection (ASD), we would like to detect whether an on-screen person is speaking based on audio-visual cues. Previous studies have primarily focused on modeling audio-visual synchronization cue, which depends on the video…
Target Speech Extraction (TSE) traditionally relies on explicit clues about the speaker's identity like enrollment audio, face images, or videos, which may not always be available. In this paper, we propose a text-guided TSE model StyleTSE…
Target speaker extraction aims to extract the speech of a specific speaker from a multi-talker mixture as specified by an auxiliary reference. Most studies focus on the scenario where the target speech is highly overlapped with the…
