A novel learnable dictionary encoding layer is proposed in this paper for end-to-end language identification. It is inline with the conventional GMM i-vector approach both theoretically and practically. We imitate the mechanism of…

Parallel sentence extraction is a task addressing the data sparsity problem found in multilingual natural language processing applications. We propose an end-to-end deep neural network approach to detect translational equivalence between…

We propose an end-to-end affect recognition approach using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that handles multiple languages, with applications to emotion and personality recognition from speech. We lay the foundation of a universal…

This paper explores the use of Hybrid CTC/Attention encoder-decoder models trained with Intermediate CTC (InterCTC) for Irish (Gaelic) low-resource speech recognition (ASR) and dialect identification (DID). Results are compared to the…

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease affecting 50 million people worldwide. Low-cost, accurate identification of key markers of AD is crucial for timely diagnosis and intervention. Language impairment is one…

The most recent deep neural network (DNN) models exhibit impressive denoising performance in the time-frequency (T-F) magnitude domain. However, the phase is also a critical component of the speech signal that is easily overlooked. In this…

Due to a drastic improvement in the quality of internet services worldwide, there is an explosion of multilingual content generation and consumption. This is especially prevalent in countries with large multilingual audience, who are…

Spoken language Identification (LID) systems are needed to identify the language(s) present in a given audio sample, and typically could be the first step in many speech processing related tasks such as automatic speech recognition (ASR).…

This paper proposes a speech rhythm-based method for speaker embeddings to model phoneme duration using a few utterances by the target speaker. Speech rhythm is one of the essential factors among speaker characteristics, along with acoustic…

We analyze the process of creating word embedding feature representations designed for a learning task when annotated data is scarce, for example, in depressive language detection from Tweets. We start with a rich word embedding pre-trained…

In spite of the popularity of end-to-end diarization systems nowadays, modular systems comprised of voice activity detection (VAD), speaker embedding extraction plus clustering, and overlapped speech detection (OSD) plus handling still…

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a severe illness that affects millions of people, and it is critical to diagnose this disorder as early as possible. Detecting depression from voice signals can be of great help to physicians and can be…

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,…

Slot and intent detection (SID) is a classic natural language understanding task. Despite this, research has only more recently begun focusing on SID for dialectal and colloquial varieties. Many approaches for low-resource scenarios have…

Since medical image data sets contain few samples and singular features, lesions are viewed as highly similar to other tissues. The traditional neural network has a limited ability to learn features. Even if a host of feature maps is…

This paper explores predicting suitable prosodic features for fine-grained emotion analysis from the discourse-level text. To obtain fine-grained emotional prosodic features as predictive values for our model, we extract a phoneme-level…

Due to improvements in artificial intelligence, speaker identification (SI) technologies have brought a great direction and are now widely used in a variety of sectors. One of the most important components of SI is feature extraction, which…

End-to-end (E2E) spoken language understanding (SLU) systems can infer the semantics of a spoken utterance directly from an audio signal. However, training an E2E system remains a challenge, largely due to the scarcity of paired…

Recent diarization technologies can be categorized into two approaches, i.e., clustering and end-to-end neural approaches, which have different pros and cons. The clustering-based approaches assign speaker labels to speech regions by…

Deploying speech enhancement (SE) systems in wearable devices, such as smart glasses, is challenging due to the limited computational resources on the device. Although deep learning methods have achieved high-quality results, their…
