Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) has already been applied to learn speaker characterizations from single or non-simultaneous speech for speaker recognition applications. It is also known for its good performance in (blind) source…

In this paper, a new fast and low complexity transform is introduced for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless systems. The new transform combines the effects of fast complex-Walsh-Hadamard transform (CHT) and the fast…

Nearly all Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesizers today use Mel Cepstral coefficients as the vocal tract parameterization of the speech signal. Mel Cepstral coefficients were never intended to work in a parametric speech synthesis…

The time delay neural network (TDNN) represents one of the state-of-the-art of neural solutions to text-independent speaker verification. However, they require a large number of filters to capture the speaker characteristics at any local…

This paper proposes a novel approach to an automatic estimation of three speaker traits from Arabic speech: gender, emotion, and dialect. After showing promising results on different text classification tasks, the multi-task learning (MTL)…

The SpeakerBeam-FE (SBF) method is proposed for speaker extraction. It attempts to overcome the problem of unknown number of speakers in an audio recording during source separation. The mask approximation loss of SBF is sub-optimal, which…

Machine hearing or listening represents an emerging area. Conventional approaches rely on the design of handcrafted features specialized to a specific audio task and that can hardly generalized to other audio fields. For example,…

Learning an effective speaker representation is crucial for achieving reliable performance in speaker verification tasks. Speech signals are high-dimensional, long, and variable-length sequences containing diverse information at each…

Speech emotion recognition (SER) is a field that has drawn a lot of attention due to its applications in diverse fields. A current trend in methods used for SER is to leverage embeddings from pre-trained models (PTMs) as input features to…

Language Identification, being an important aspect of Automatic Speaker Recognition has had many changes and new approaches to ameliorate performance over the last decade. We compare the performance of using audio spectrum in the log scale…

Capsule networks (CapsNets) have recently gotten attention as a novel neural architecture. This paper presents the sequential routing framework which we believe is the first method to adapt a CapsNet-only structure to sequence-to-sequence…

In this paper, Whisper, a large-scale pre-trained model for automatic speech recognition, is proposed to apply to speaker verification. A partial multi-scale feature aggregation (PMFA) approach is proposed based on a subset of Whisper…

Speech signals encompass various information across multiple levels including content, speaker, and style. Disentanglement of these information, although challenging, is important for applications such as voice conversion. The contrastive…

In this paper, we address the problem of multichannel speech enhancement in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain. A long short-time memory (LSTM) network takes as input a sequence of STFT coefficients associated with a frequency…

Recently, a method has been proposed to estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of a single speaker by minimizing the frequency-averaged Hermitian angle between an estimated relative transfer function (RTF) vector and a database of…

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable success across diverse fields, establishing a powerful paradigm for complex information processing. This has inspired the integration of speech into LLM frameworks, often by…

Speaker-conditioned target speaker extraction systems rely on auxiliary information about the target speaker to extract the target speaker signal from a mixture of multiple speakers. Typically, a deep neural network is applied to isolate…

This study explores the potential of using acoustic features of segmental speech sounds to detect deepfake audio. These features are highly interpretable because of their close relationship with human articulatory processes and are expected…

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…

Time series data can be represented in both the time and frequency domains, with the time domain emphasizing local dependencies and the frequency domain highlighting global dependencies. To harness the strengths of both domains in capturing…
