With the rise in multimedia content over the years, more variety is observed in the recording environments of audio. An audio processing system might benefit when it has a module to identify the acoustic domain at its front-end. In this…
We propose a modular pipeline for the single-channel separation, recognition, and diarization of meeting-style recordings and evaluate it on the Libri-CSS dataset. Using a Continuous Speech Separation (CSS) system with a TF-GridNet…
We recently proposed DOVER-Lap, a method for combining overlap-aware speaker diarization system outputs. DOVER-Lap improved upon its predecessor DOVER by using a label mapping method based on globally-informed greedy search. In this paper,…
Annotating a multilingual code-switched corpus is a painstaking process requiring specialist linguistic expertise. This is partly due to the large number of language combinations that may appear within and across utterances, which might…
In speaker diarization, traditional clustering-based methods remain widely used in real-world applications. However, these methods struggle with the complex distribution of speaker embeddings and overlapping speech segments. To address…
This paper proposes a neural network based speech separation method using spatially distributed microphones. Unlike with traditional microphone array settings, neither the number of microphones nor their spatial arrangement is known in…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) achieves great success in speech recognition, while limited exploration has been attempted for other speech processing tasks. As speech signal contains multi-faceted information including speaker identity,…
In this paper, we present a novel framework that jointly performs three tasks: speaker diarization, speech separation, and speaker counting. Our proposed framework integrates speaker diarization based on end-to-end neural diarization (EEND)…
Although deep-learning-based methods have markedly improved the performance of speech separation over the past few years, it remains an open question how to integrate multi-channel signals for speech separation. We propose two methods,…
Speaker diarization, the process of identifying "who spoke when" in audio recordings, is essential for understanding classroom dynamics. However, classroom settings present distinct challenges, including poor recording quality, high levels…
The paper introduces Diff-Filter, a multichannel speech enhancement approach based on the diffusion probabilistic model, for improving speaker verification performance under noisy and reverberant conditions. It also presents a new two-step…
This paper proposes an online target speaker voice activity detection system for speaker diarization tasks, which does not require a priori knowledge from the clustering-based diarization system to obtain the target speaker embeddings.…
Significant progress has recently been made in speaker diarisation after the introduction of d-vectors as speaker embeddings extracted from neural network (NN) speaker classifiers for clustering speech segments. To extract better-performing…
Identifying the identity of the speaker of short segments in human dialogue has been considered one of the most challenging problems in speech signal processing. Speaker representations of short speech segments tend to be unreliable,…
We present a modular toolkit to perform joint speaker diarization and speaker identification. The toolkit can leverage on multiple models and algorithms which are defined in a configuration file. Such flexibility allows our system to work…
The key advantage of using multiple microphones for speech enhancement is that spatial filtering can be used to complement the tempo-spectral processing. In a traditional setting, linear spatial filtering (beamforming) and single-channel…
Diarization is a crucial component in meeting transcription systems to ease the challenges of speech enhancement and attribute the transcriptions to the correct speaker. Particularly in the presence of overlapping or noisy speech, these…
We propose a new speaker diarization system based on a recently introduced unsupervised clustering technique namely, generative adversarial network mixture model (GANMM). The proposed system uses x-vectors as front-end representation.…
Speech applications dealing with conversations require not only recognizing the spoken words, but also determining who spoke when. The task of assigning words to speakers is typically addressed by merging the outputs of two separate…
We proposed a novel machine learning framework to conduct real-time multi-speaker diarization and recognition without prior registration and pretraining in a fully online learning setting. Our contributions are two-fold. First, we proposed…
