A speaker extraction algorithm seeks to extract the speech of a target speaker from a multi-talker speech mixture when given a cue that represents the target speaker, such as a pre-enrolled speech utterance, or an accompanying video track.…
Self-supervised speech models learn representations that capture both content and speaker information. Yet this entanglement creates problems: content tasks suffer from speaker bias, and privacy concerns arise when speaker identity leaks…
Binaural speech separation in real-world scenarios often involves moving speakers. Most current speech separation methods use utterance-level permutation invariant training (u-PIT) for training. In inference time, however, the order of…
Reverberations are unavoidable in enclosures, resulting in reduced intelligibility for hearing impaired and non native listeners and even for the normal hearing listeners in noisy circumstances. It also degrades the performance of machine…
Current synthetic speech detection (SSD) methods perform well on certain datasets but still face issues of robustness and interpretability. A possible reason is that these methods do not analyze the deficiencies of synthetic speech. In this…
