Recent advancements in speaker verification techniques show promise, but their performance often deteriorates significantly in challenging acoustic environments. Although speech enhancement methods can improve perceived audio quality, they…

The intelligibility of speech severely degrades in the presence of environmental noise and reverberation. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning based system for modifying the speech signal to increase its intelligibility under the…

Interfering sources, background noise and reverberation degrade speech quality and intelligibility in hearing aid applications. In this paper, we present an adaptive algorithm aiming at dereverberation, noise and interferer reduction and…

This paper addresses the challenge of speaker separation, which remains an active research topic despite the promising results achieved in recent years. These results, however, often degrade in real recording conditions due to the presence…

Speech emotion recognition (SER) often experiences reduced performance due to background noise. In addition, making a prediction on signals with only background noise could undermine user trust in the system. In this study, we propose a…

Whilst state of the art automatic speech recognition (ASR) can perform well, it still degrades when exposed to acoustic environments that differ from those used when training the model. Unfamiliar environments for a given model may well be…

Contextual biasing improves automatic speech recognition (ASR) by integrating external knowledge, such as user-specific phrases or entities, during decoding. In this work, we use an attention-based biasing decoder to produce scores for…

Multi-channel speech enhancement aims to recover clean speech from noisy multi-channel recordings. Most deep learning methods employ discriminative training, which can lead to non-linear distortions from regression-based objectives,…

Traditionally, in Audio Recognition pipeline, noise is suppressed by the "frontend", relying on preprocessing techniques such as speech enhancement. However, it is not guaranteed that noise will not cascade into downstream pipelines. To…

Enhancing speech signal quality in adverse acoustic environments is a persistent challenge in speech processing. Existing deep learning based enhancement methods often struggle to effectively remove background noise and reverberation in…

This paper presents a new voice conversion (VC) framework capable of dealing with both additive noise and reverberation, and its performance evaluation. There have been studied some VC researches focusing on real-world circumstances where…

Speech deepfake detection has achieved remarkable success in clean environments but faces significant challenges in complex, real-world scenarios where speech is often mixed with background music or noise. Current state-of-the-art methods…

Automatic speech recognition systems have created exciting possibilities for applications, however they also enable opportunities for systematic eavesdropping. We propose a method to camouflage a person's voice over-the-air from these…

Existing research suggests that automatic speech recognition (ASR) models can benefit from additional contexts (e.g., contact lists, user specified vocabulary). Rare words and named entities can be better recognized with contexts. In this…

The state-of-art methods for acoustic beamforming in multi-channel ASR are based on a neural mask estimator that predicts the presence of speech and noise. These models are trained using a paired corpus of clean and noisy recordings…

For a speech-enhancement algorithm, it is highly desirable to simultaneously improve perceptual quality and recognition rate. Thanks to computational costs and model complexities, it is challenging to train a model that effectively…

It is highly desirable that speech enhancement algorithms can achieve good performance while keeping low latency for many applications, such as digital hearing aids, acoustically transparent hearing devices, and public address systems. To…

In this paper, we introduce a streaming keyphrase detection system that can be easily customized to accurately detect any phrase composed of words from a large vocabulary. The system is implemented with an end-to-end trained automatic…

Impressive progress in neural network-based single-channel speech source separation has been made in recent years. But those improvements have been mostly reported on anechoic data, a situation that is hardly met in practice. Taking the…

Image denoising has achieved unprecedented progress as great efforts have been made to exploit effective deep denoisers. To improve the denoising performance in realworld, two typical solutions are used in recent trends: devising better…
