Perceptual voice quality assessment plays a vital role in diagnosing and monitoring voice disorders. Traditional methods, such as the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) and the Grade, Roughness, Breathiness,…
In a typical voice conversion system, vocoder is commonly used for speech-to-features analysis and features-to-speech synthesis. However, vocoder can be a source of speech quality degradation. This paper presents a vocoder-free voice…
This paper presents a method of sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) voice conversion using non-parallel training data. In this method, disentangled linguistic and speaker representations are extracted from acoustic features, and voice conversion…
Currently, zero-shot voice conversion systems are capable of synthesizing the voice of unseen speakers. However, most existing approaches struggle to accurately replicate the speaking style of the source speaker or mimic the distinctive…
In this paper, we propose an enhanced audio-visual deep detection method. Recent methods in audio-visual deepfake detection mostly assess the synchronization between audio and visual features. Although they have shown promising results,…
Detection of common events and scenes from audio is useful for extracting and understanding human contexts in daily life. Prior studies have shown that leveraging knowledge from a relevant domain is beneficial for a target acoustic event…
The goal of Audio-Visual Segmentation (AVS) is to localize and segment the sounding source objects from video frames. Research on AVS suffers from data scarcity due to the high cost of fine-grained manual annotations. Recent works attempt…
Adding visual cues to audio-based speech separation can improve separation performance. This paper introduces AV-CrossNet, an audiovisual (AV) system for speech enhancement, target speaker extraction, and multi-talker speaker separation.…

Domain mismatch problem caused by speaker-unrelated feature has been a major topic in speaker recognition. In this paper, we propose an explicit disentanglement framework to unravel speaker-relevant features from speaker-unrelated features…
We present SVCnet, a system for modelling speaker variability. Encoder Neural Networks specialized for each speech sound produce low dimensionality models of acoustical variation, and these models are further combined into an overall model…
Robust speech emotion recognition relies on the quality of the speech features. We present speech features enhancement strategy that improves speech emotion recognition. We used the INTERSPEECH 2010 challenge feature-set. We identified…
In text-to-speech (TTS) and voice conversion (VC), acoustic features, such as mel spectrograms, are typically used as synthesis or conversion targets owing to their compactness and ease of learning. However, because the ultimate goal is to…
Speech time reversal refers to the process of reversing the entire speech signal in time, causing it to play backward. Such signals are completely unintelligible since the fundamental structures of phonemes and syllables are destroyed.…
Voice conversion (VC) using deep learning technologies can now generate high quality one-to-many voices and thus has been used in some practical application fields, such as entertainment and healthcare. However, voice conversion can pose…
Visual grounding (VG) aims to locate a specific target in an image based on a given language query. The discriminative information from context is important for distinguishing the target from other objects, particularly for the targets that…
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…
Existing fake audio detection systems perform well in in-domain testing, but still face many challenges in out-of-domain testing. This is due to the mismatch between the training and test data, as well as the poor generalizability of…
Speech signals are inherently complex as they encompass both global acoustic characteristics and local semantic information. However, in the task of target speech extraction, certain elements of global and local semantic information in the…
This study tackles unsupervised subword modeling in the zero-resource scenario, learning frame-level speech representation that is phonetically discriminative and speaker-invariant, using only untranscribed speech for target languages.…
