The recent success of large language models (LLMs) has attracted widespread interest to develop role-playing conversational agents personalized to the characteristics and styles of different speakers to enhance their abilities to perform…
Identifying linguistic differences between dialects of a language often requires expert knowledge and meticulous human analysis. This is largely due to the complexity and nuance involved in studying various dialects. We present a novel…
Although Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have become an integral part of modern technology, their evaluation remains challenging, particularly for low-resource languages such as Persian. This paper introduces Persian Speech…
In this paper, we have analyzed the impact of confusions on the robustness of phoneme recognitions system. The confusions are detected at the pronunciation and the confusions matrices of the phoneme recognizer. The confusions show that some…
Speaker diarization systems are challenged by a trade-off between the temporal resolution and the fidelity of the speaker representation. By obtaining a superior temporal resolution with an enhanced accuracy, a multi-scale approach is a way…
Speaker verification (SV) systems are currently being used to make sensitive decisions like giving access to bank accounts or deciding whether the voice of a suspect coincides with that of the perpetrator of a crime. Ensuring that these…
Recent adoption of deep learning methods to the field of machine lipreading research gives us two options to pursue to improve system performance. Either, we develop end-to-end systems holistically or, we experiment to further our…
Speaker identification is a powerful, non-invasive and in-expensive biometric technique. The recognition accuracy, however, deteriorates when noise levels affect a specific band of frequency. In this paper, we present a sub-band based…
Over recent years a lot of research papers and studies have been published on the development of effective approaches that benefit from a large amount of user-generated content and build intelligent predictive models on top of them. This…
Creating universal speaker encoders which are robust for different acoustic and speech duration conditions is a big challenge today. According to our observations systems trained on short speech segments are optimal for short phrase speaker…
Identifying multiple speakers without knowing where a speaker's voice is in a recording is a challenging task. In this paper, a hierarchical attention network is proposed to solve a weakly labelled speaker identification problem. The use of…
Multilingual speaker verification introduces the challenge of verifying a speaker in multiple languages. Existing systems were built using i-vector/x-vector approaches along with Bi-LSTMs, which were trained to discriminate speakers,…
This study employs deep learning techniques to explore four speaker profiling tasks on the TIMIT dataset, namely gender classification, accent classification, age estimation, and speaker identification, highlighting the potential and…
We investigate what linguistic factors affect the performance of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models. We hypothesize that orthographic and phonological complexities both degrade accuracy. To examine this, we fine-tune the multilingual…
The Irish language is rich in its diversity of dialects and accents. This compounds the difficulty of creating a speech recognition system for the low-resource language, as such a system must contend with a high degree of variability with…
While the use of deep neural networks has significantly boosted speaker recognition performance, it is still challenging to separate speakers in poor acoustic environments. Here speech enhancement methods have traditionally allowed improved…
Automatic spoken language assessment systems are becoming more popular in order to handle increasing interests in second language learning. One challenge for these systems is to detect malpractice. Malpractice can take a range of forms,…
Previous work has encouraged domain-invariance in deep speaker embedding by adversarially classifying the dataset or labelled environment to which the generated features belong. We propose a training strategy which aims to produce features…
We present a machine learning approach that ranked on the first place in the Arabic Dialect Identification (ADI) Closed Shared Tasks of the 2018 VarDial Evaluation Campaign. The proposed approach combines several kernels using multiple…
Speaker Diarization is the problem of separating speakers in an audio. There could be any number of speakers and final result should state when speaker starts and ends. In this project, we analyze given audio file with 2 channels and 2…
