This study proposes a trainable adaptive window switching (AWS) method and apply it to a deep-neural-network (DNN) for speech enhancement in the modified discrete cosine transform domain. Time-frequency (T-F) mask processing in the…

The conversion from text to speech relies on the accurate mapping from linguistic to acoustic symbol sequences, for which current practice employs recurrent statistical models like recurrent neural networks. Despite the good performance of…

We propose Universal Speech Content Factorization (USCF), a simple and invertible linear method for extracting a low-rank speech representation in which speaker timbre is suppressed while phonetic content is preserved. USCF extends Speech…

Multi-channel inputs offer several advantages over single-channel, to improve the robustness of on-device speech recognition systems. Recent work on multi-channel transformer, has proposed a way to incorporate such inputs into end-to-end…

This study investigates the extent to which Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) capture first language (L1) transfer in extended second language (L2) English speech. Speech samples from Mandarin and American English L1 speakers were…

As the most important human-machine interfacing tool, an insignificant amount of work has been carried out on Bangla Speech Recognition compared to the English language. Motivated by this, in this work, the performance of…

Animal vocalisations contain important information about health, emotional state, and behaviour, thus can be potentially used for animal welfare monitoring. Motivated by the spectro-temporal patterns of chick calls in the time$-$frequency…

This paper works on non-autoregressive automatic speech recognition. A unimodal aggregation (UMA) is proposed to segment and integrate the feature frames that belong to the same text token, and thus to learn better feature representations…

Voice signals originating from the respiratory tract are utilized as valuable acoustic biomarkers for the diagnosis and assessment of respiratory diseases. Among the employed acoustic features, Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) is…

Recent studies have shown that frame-level deep speaker features can be derived from a deep neural network with the training target set to discriminate speakers by a short speech segment. By pooling the frame-level features, utterance-level…

In this paper, we present our initial efforts for building a code-switching (CS) speech recognition system leveraging existing acoustic models (AMs) and language models (LMs), i.e., no training required, and specifically targeting…

The use of channel-wise attention in CNN based speaker representation networks has achieved remarkable performance in speaker verification (SV). But these approaches do simple averaging on time and frequency feature maps before channel-wise…

Delay-Doppler (DD) signal processing has emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing multipath and time-varying channel effects. Due to the inherent sparsity of the wireless channel in the DD domain, compressed sensing (CS) based techniques,…

Precise control over speech characteristics, such as pitch, duration, and speech rate, remains a significant challenge in the field of voice conversion. The ability to manipulate parameters like pitch and syllable rate is an important…

Feature selection is generally used as one of the most important preprocessing techniques in machine learning, as it helps to reduce the dimensionality of data and assists researchers and practitioners in understanding data. Thereby, by…

Speaker change detection is an important task in multi-party interactions such as meetings and conversations. In this paper, we address the speaker change detection task from the perspective of sequence transduction. Specifically, we…

Keyword spotting systems often struggle to generalize to a diverse population with various accents and age groups. To address this challenge, we propose a novel approach that integrates speaker information into keyword spotting using…

In this paper we propose a new parameterization algorithm based on nonlinear prediction, which is an extension of the classical LPC parameters. The parameters performances are estimated by two different methods: the Arithmetic-Harmonic…

In this paper, we propose a speaker verification method by an Attentive Multi-scale Convolutional Recurrent Network (AMCRN). The proposed AMCRN can acquire both local spatial information and global sequential information from the input…

In this paper, a novel multitaper modified group delay function-based representation for speech signals is proposed. With a set of phoneme-based experiments, it is shown that the proposed method performs better that an existing multitaper…
