Target Speaker Extraction (TSE) aims to isolate a specific speaker's voice from a mixture, guided by a pre-recorded enrollment. While TSE bypasses the global permutation ambiguity of blind source separation, it remains vulnerable to speaker…
Speaker diarization is usually referred to as the task that determines ``who spoke when'' in a recording. Until a few years ago, all competitive approaches were modular. Systems based on this framework reached state-of-the-art performance…
Voice activity detection (VAD) is essential in speech-based systems, but traditional methods detect only speech presence without identifying speakers. Target-speaker VAD (TS-VAD) extends this by detecting the speech of a known speaker using…
While standard speaker diarization attempts to answer the question "who spoken when", most of relevant applications in reality are more interested in determining "who spoken what". Whether it is the conventional modularized approach or the…
Extracting the speech of a target speaker from mixed audios, based on a reference speech from the target speaker, is a challenging yet powerful technology in speech processing. Recent studies of speaker-independent speech separation, such…
Personalized speech enhancement (PSE) models can improve the audio quality of teleconferencing systems by adapting to the characteristics of a speaker's voice. However, most existing methods require a separate speaker embedding model to…
Audiovisual active speaker detection (ASD) addresses the task of determining the speech activity of a candidate speaker given acoustic and visual data. Typically, systems model the temporal correspondence of audiovisual cues, such as the…
In target speaker extraction, many studies rely on the speaker embedding which is obtained from an enrollment of the target speaker and employed as the guidance. However, solely using speaker embedding may not fully utilize the contextual…
The SpeakerBeam-FE (SBF) method is proposed for speaker extraction. It attempts to overcome the problem of unknown number of speakers in an audio recording during source separation. The mask approximation loss of SBF is sub-optimal, which…
Audio-visual target speaker extraction (AV-TSE) aims to extract the specific person's speech from the audio mixture given auxiliary visual cues. Previous methods usually search for the target voice through speech-lip synchronization.…
This paper presents a unified multi-speaker encoder (UME), a novel architecture that jointly learns representations for speaker diarization (SD), speech separation (SS), and multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks using a…
Human speech contains both linguistic content and speaker dependent characteristics making speaker verification a key technology in identity critical applications. Modern deep learning speaker verification systems aim to learn speaker…
Current speaker diarization systems rely on an external voice activity detection model prior to speaker embedding extraction on the detected speech segments. In this paper, we establish that the attention system of a speaker embedding…
Target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to isolate a specific speaker's speech from a mixture using speaker enrollment as a reference. While most existing approaches are discriminative, recent generative methods for TSE achieve strong results.…
Target speaker extraction (TSE) is a technique for isolating a target speaker's voice from mixed speech using auxiliary features associated with the target speaker. It is another attempt at addressing the cocktail party problem and is…
In real-world scenarios, speech signals are inevitably corrupted by various types of interference, making speech enhancement (SE) a critical task for robust speech processing. However, most existing SE methods only handle a limited range of…
Multi-speaker speech recognition has been one of the keychallenges in conversation transcription as it breaks the singleactive speaker assumption employed by most state-of-the-artspeech recognition systems. Speech separation is consideredas…
The scarcity of labeled audio-visual datasets is a constraint for training superior audio-visual speaker diarization systems. To improve the performance of audio-visual speaker diarization, we leverage pre-trained supervised and…
Recent speaker diarisation systems often convert variable length speech segments into fixed-length vector representations for speaker clustering, which are known as speaker embeddings. In this paper, the content-aware speaker embeddings…
Speaker extraction aims to mimic humans' selective auditory attention by extracting a target speaker's voice from a multi-talker environment. It is common to perform the extraction in frequency-domain, and reconstruct the time-domain signal…
