In this paper, we present a novel state of the art system for automatic downbeat tracking from music signals. The audio signal is first segmented in frames which are synchronized at the tatum level of the music. We then extract different…

Multi-modal fusion is proven to be an effective method to improve the accuracy and robustness of speaker tracking, especially in complex scenarios. However, how to combine the heterogeneous information and exploit the complementarity of…

Maximum Voiced Frequency (MVF) is used in various speech models as the spectral boundary separating periodic and aperiodic components during the production of voiced sounds. Recent studies have shown that its proper estimation and modeling…

Models of acoustic word embeddings (AWEs) learn to map variable-length spoken word segments onto fixed-dimensionality vector representations such that different acoustic exemplars of the same word are projected nearby in the embedding…

Recent advancements in text-to-speech and speech conversion technologies have enabled the creation of highly convincing synthetic speech. While these innovations offer numerous practical benefits, they also cause significant security…

State of the art speech recognition systems use data-intensive context-dependent phonemes as acoustic units. However, these approaches do not translate well to low resourced languages where large amounts of training data is not available.…

This paper proposes to use low-level spatial features extracted from multichannel audio for sound event detection. We extend the convolutional recurrent neural network to handle more than one type of these multichannel features by learning…

In most current approaches of speech processing, information is extracted from the magnitude spectrum. However recent perceptual studies have underlined the importance of the phase component. The goal of this paper is to investigate the…

Many mispronunciation detection and diagnosis (MD&D) research approaches try to exploit both the acoustic and linguistic features as input. Yet the improvement of the performance is limited, partially due to the shortage of large amount…

This paper proposes an expressive singing voice synthesis system by introducing explicit vibrato modeling and latent energy representation. Vibrato is essential to the naturalness of synthesized sound, due to the inherent characteristics of…

Previous works on expressive speech synthesis focus on modelling the mono-scale style embedding from the current sentence or context, but the multi-scale nature of speaking style in human speech is neglected. In this paper, we propose a…

We present a deep learning based methodology for extracting the singing voice signal from a musical mixture based on the underlying linguistic content. Our model follows an encoder decoder architecture and takes as input the magnitude…

This paper tests the hypothesis that distinctive feature classifiers anchored at phonetic landmarks can be transferred cross-lingually without loss of accuracy. Three consonant voicing classifiers were developed: (1) manually selected…

The development of models for learning music similarity and feature extraction from audio media files is an increasingly important task for the entertainment industry. This work proposes a novel music classification model based on metric…

Previous one-stage action detection approaches have modelled temporal dependencies using only the visual modality. In this paper, we explore different strategies to incorporate the audio modality, using multi-scale cross-attention to fuse…

The Complete Vocal Technique (CVT) is a school of singing developed in the past decades by Cathrin Sadolin et al.. CVT groups the use of the voice into so called vocal modes, namely Neutral, Curbing, Overdrive and Edge. Knowledge of the…

This paper proposes a new pitch estimator and a novel pitch tracker for speakers. We first decompose the sound signal into subbands using an auditory filterbank, assuming time-frequency sparsity of human speech. Instead of directly…

This report proposes state-of-the-art research in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Mispronunciation detection is one of the core components of Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) systems which is a subset…

The rapid advancement of spoofing algorithms necessitates the development of robust detection methods capable of accurately identifying emerging fake audio. Traditional approaches, such as finetuning on new datasets containing these novel…

An inversion of the speech polarity may have a dramatic detrimental effect on the performance of various techniques of speech processing. An automatic method for determining the speech polarity (which is dependent upon the recording setup)…
