In this paper, we propose a model to perform speech dereverberation by estimating its spectral magnitude from the reverberant counterpart. Our models are capable of extracting features that take into account both short and long-term…
The goal of dialogue relation extraction (DRE) is to identify the relation between two entities in a given dialogue. During conversations, speakers may expose their relations to certain entities by explicit or implicit clues, such evidences…
The rapid development of auditory attention decoding (AAD) based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals offers the possibility EEG-driven target speaker extraction. However, how to effectively utilize the target-speaker common information…
Text-based speech editing (TSE) allows users to edit speech by modifying the corresponding text directly without altering the original recording. Current TSE techniques often focus on minimizing discrepancies between generated speech and…
Target speaker extraction (TSE) is essential in speech processing applications, particularly in scenarios with complex acoustic environments. Current TSE systems face challenges in limited data diversity and a lack of robustness in…
We previously proposed contextual spelling correction (CSC) to correct the output of end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) models with contextual information such as name, place, etc. Although CSC has achieved reasonable…
In real-world environments, background noise significantly degrades the intelligibility and clarity of human speech. Audio-visual speech enhancement (AVSE) attempts to restore speech quality, but existing methods often fall short,…
In the study of auditory attention, it has been revealed that there exists a robust correlation between attended speech and elicited neural responses, measurable through electroencephalography (EEG). Therefore, it is possible to use the…
Event Extraction (EE) is one of the essential tasks in information extraction, which aims to detect event mentions from text and find the corresponding argument roles. The EE task can be abstracted as a process of matching the semantic…
Relation Extraction (RE) is a pivotal task in automatically extracting structured information from unstructured text. In this paper, we present a multi-faceted approach that integrates representative examples and through co-set expansion.…
The goal of expressive Text-to-speech (TTS) is to synthesize natural speech with desired content, prosody, emotion, or timbre, in high expressiveness. Most of previous studies attempt to generate speech from given labels of styles and…
Improving the representation of contextual information is key to unlocking the potential of end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this work, we present a novel and simple approach for training an ASR context mechanism with…
State-of-the-art methods for relation extraction consider the sentential context by modeling the entire sentence. However, syntactic indicators, certain phrases or words like prepositions that are more informative than other words and may…
Goal-oriented conversational interfaces are designed to accomplish specific tasks and typically have interactions that tend to span multiple turns adhering to a pre-defined structure and a goal. However, conventional neural language models…
Audio-visual speaker extraction has attracted increasing attention, as it removes the need for pre-registered speech and leverages the visual modality as a complement to audio. Although existing methods have achieved impressive performance,…
Conversational speech synthesis (CSS) incorporates historical dialogue as supplementary information with the aim of generating speech that has dialogue-appropriate prosody. While previous methods have already delved into enhancing context…
The speaker extraction technique seeks to single out the voice of a target speaker from the interfering voices in a speech mixture. Typically an auxiliary reference of the target speaker is used to form voluntary attention. Either a…
Semantic information refers to the meaning conveyed through words, phrases, and contextual relationships within a given linguistic structure. Humans can leverage semantic information, such as familiar linguistic patterns and contextual…
We introduce a new task, Contextual Text Style Transfer - translating a sentence into a desired style with its surrounding context taken into account. This brings two key challenges to existing style transfer approaches: ($i$) how to…
Keyphrase extraction from a given document is the task of automatically extracting salient phrases that best describe the document. This paper proposes a novel unsupervised graph-based ranking method to extract high-quality phrases from a…
