We propose a new end-to-end neural diarization (EEND) system that is based on Conformer, a recently proposed neural architecture that combines convolutional mappings and Transformer to model both local and global dependencies in speech. We…
In this paper, we propose a quality-aware end-to-end audio-visual neural speaker diarization framework, which comprises three key techniques. First, our audio-visual model takes both audio and visual features as inputs, utilizing a series…
Speaker segmentation consists in partitioning a conversation between one or more speakers into speaker turns. Usually addressed as the late combination of three sub-tasks (voice activity detection, speaker change detection, and overlapped…
Speaker diarization is well studied for constrained audios but little explored for challenging in-the-wild videos, which have more speakers, shorter utterances, and inconsistent on-screen speakers. We address this gap by proposing an…

Recently, researchers have utilized neural network-based speaker embedding techniques in speaker-recognition tasks to identify speakers accurately. However, speaker-discriminative embeddings do not always represent speech features such as…
Speaker diarization is a task concerned with partitioning an audio recording by speaker identity. End-to-end neural diarization with encoder-decoder based attractor calculation (EEND-EDA) aims to solve this problem by directly outputting…
Speaker diarization is connected to semantic segmentation in computer vision. Inspired from MaskFormer \cite{cheng2021per} which treats semantic segmentation as a set-prediction problem, we propose an end-to-end approach to predict a set of…
Automating child speech analysis is crucial for applications such as neurocognitive assessments. Speaker diarization, which identifies ``who spoke when'', is an essential component of the automated analysis. However, publicly available…
End-to-end neural diarization (EEND) is nowadays one of the most prominent research topics in speaker diarization. EEND presents an attractive alternative to standard cascaded diarization systems since a single system is trained at once to…
Generative models are a popular choice for adult-to-adult voice conversion (VC) because of their efficient way of modelling unlabelled data. To this point their usefulness in producing children speech and in particular adult to child VC has…
