Voice disorders affect a large portion of the population, especially heavy voice users such as teachers or call-center workers. Most voice disorders can be treated effectively with behavioral voice therapy, which teaches patients to replace…

Speaker individuality information is among the most critical elements within speech signals. By thoroughly and accurately modeling this information, it can be utilized in various intelligent speech applications, such as speaker recognition,…

This paper proposes an online target speaker voice activity detection system for speaker diarization tasks, which does not require a priori knowledge from the clustering-based diarization system to obtain the target speaker embeddings. By…

This report describes the submission of the DKU-DukeECE team to the self-supervision speaker verification task of the 2021 VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge (VoxSRC). Our method employs an iterative labeling framework to learn…

We study the individuality of the human voice with respect to a widely used feature representation of speech utterances, namely, the i-vector model. As a first step toward this goal, we compare and contrast uniqueness measures proposed for…

We explore why deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with small two-dimensional kernels, primarily used for modeling spatial relations in images, are also effective in speech recognition. We analyze the representations learned by deep…

In this paper, an architecture based on Long Short-Term Memory Networks has been proposed for the text-independent scenario which is aimed to capture the temporal speaker-related information by operating over traditional speech features.…

The objective of this work is to train noise-robust speaker embeddings adapted for speaker diarisation. Speaker embeddings play a crucial role in the performance of diarisation systems, but they often capture spurious information such as…

Deep learning models are widely applied in the signal processing community, yet their inner working procedure is often treated as a black box. In this paper, we investigate the use of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques to…

This paper proposes a unified deep speaker embedding framework for modeling speech data with different sampling rates. Considering the narrowband spectrogram as a sub-image of the wideband spectrogram, we tackle the joint modeling problem…

Recently, there has been growing interest in multi-speaker speech recognition, where the utterances of multiple speakers are recognized from their mixture. Promising techniques have been proposed for this task, but earlier works have…

A novel interpretable end-to-end learning scheme for language identification is proposed. It is in line with the classical GMM i-vector methods both theoretically and practically. In the end-to-end pipeline, a general encoding layer is…

We describe a neural network-based system for text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis that is able to generate speech audio in the voice of many different speakers, including those unseen during training. Our system consists of three independently…

We introduce a technique for augmenting neural text-to-speech (TTS) with lowdimensional trainable speaker embeddings to generate different voices from a single model. As a starting point, we show improvements over the two state-ofthe-art…

The attenuation of acoustic loudspeaker echoes remains to be one of the open challenges to achieve pleasant full-duplex hands free speech communication. In many modern signal enhancement interfaces, this problem is addressed by a linear…

Fixed-dimensional speaker embeddings have become the dominant approach in speaker modeling, typically spanning hundreds to thousands of dimensions. These dimensions are hyperparameters that are not specifically picked, nor are they…

Deep speaker embeddings have shown promising results in speaker recognition, as well as in other speaker-related tasks. However, some issues are still under explored, for instance, the information encoded in these representations and their…

Despite achieving satisfactory performance in speaker verification using deep neural networks, variable-duration utterances remain a challenge that threatens the robustness of systems. To deal with this issue, we propose a speaker…

The state-of-art approach to speaker verification involves the extraction of discriminative embeddings like x-vectors followed by a generative model back-end using a probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA). In this paper, we…

Traditional visual speech recognition systems consist of two stages, feature extraction and classification. Recently, several deep learning approaches have been presented which automatically extract features from the mouth images and aim to…
