Research in deep learning for multi-speaker source separation has received a boost in the last years. However, most studies are restricted to mixtures of a specific number of speakers, called a specific scenario. While some works included…

While significant advances have been made with respect to the separation of overlapping speech signals, studies have been largely constrained to mixtures of clean, near anechoic speech, not representative of many real-world scenarios.…

Speech enhancement and speech separation are two related tasks, whose purpose is to extract either one or more target speech signals, respectively, from a mixture of sounds generated by several sources. Traditionally, these tasks have been…

When dealing with overlapped speech, the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems substantially degrades as they are designed for single-talker speech. To enhance ASR performance in conversational or meeting environments,…

Speaker independent continuous speech separation (SI-CSS) is a task of converting a continuous audio stream, which may contain overlapping voices of unknown speakers, into a fixed number of continuous signals each of which contains no…

Text simplification plays a crucial role in improving the accessibility and comprehensibility of written information for diverse audiences, including language learners and readers with limited literacy. Despite its importance, large-scale,…

Universal sound separation aims to extract clean audio tracks corresponding to distinct events from mixed audio, which is critical for artificial auditory perception. However, current methods heavily rely on artificially mixed audio for…

Transformer-based models recently reached state-of-the-art single-channel speech separation accuracy; However, their extreme computational load makes it difficult to deploy them in resource-constrained mobile or IoT devices. We thus present…

Speech data collected in real-world scenarios often encounters two issues. First, multiple sources may exist simultaneously, and the number of sources may vary with time. Second, the existence of background noise in recording is inevitable.…

This paper presents a semi-automatic approach to create a diachronic corpus of voices balanced for speaker's age, gender, and recording period, according to 32 categories (2 genders, 4 age ranges and 4 recording periods). Corpora were…

In many applications of multi-microphone multi-device processing, the synchronization among different input channels can be affected by the lack of a common clock and isolated drops of samples. In this work, we address the issue of sample…

Modern machine learning models for audio tasks often exhibit superior performance on English and other well-resourced languages, primarily due to the abundance of available training data. This disparity leads to an unfair performance gap…

The past decade has witnessed substantial growth of data-driven speech enhancement (SE) techniques thanks to deep learning. While existing approaches have shown impressive performance in some common datasets, most of them are designed only…

Transformer has shown advanced performance in speech separation, benefiting from its ability to capture global features. However, capturing local features and channel information of audio sequences in speech separation is equally important.…

We present a novel source separation model to decompose asingle-channel speech signal into two speech segments belonging to two different speakers. The proposed model is a neural network based on residual blocks, and uses learnt speaker…

Speech separation has been shown effective for multi-talker speech recognition. Under the ad hoc microphone array setup where the array consists of spatially distributed asynchronous microphones, additional challenges must be overcome as…

We present a single deep learning architecture that can both separate an audio recording of a musical mixture into constituent single-instrument recordings and transcribe these instruments into a human-readable format at the same time,…

Classroom environments are particularly challenging for children with hearing impairments, where background noise, multiple talkers, and reverberation degrade speech perception. These difficulties are greater for children than adults, yet…

Separating different speaker properties from a multi-speaker environment is challenging. Instead of separating a two-speaker signal in signal space like speech source separation, a speaker embedding de-mixing approach is proposed. The…

Despite the recent success of speech separation models, they fail to separate sources properly while facing different sets of people or noisy environments. To tackle this problem, we proposed to apply meta-learning to the speech separation…
