Speech applications dealing with conversations require not only recognizing the spoken words, but also determining who spoke when. The task of assigning words to speakers is typically addressed by merging the outputs of two separate…

Multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (MS-ASR) faces significant challenges in transcribing overlapped speech, a task critical for applications like meeting transcription and conversational analysis. While serialized output training…

Multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (ASR) aims to transcribe conversational speech involving multiple speakers, requiring the model to capture not only what was said, but also who said it and sometimes when it was spoken. Recent…

Speaker-role diarization (RD), such as doctor vs. patient or lawyer vs. client, is practically often more useful than conventional speaker diarization (SD), which assigns only generic labels (speaker-1, speaker-2). The state-of-the-art…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) models are normally trained to operate over single utterances, with a short duration of less than 30 seconds. This choice has been made in part due to computational constraints, but also reflects a common,…

Neural speaker diarization is widely used for overlap-aware speaker diarization, but it requires large multi-speaker datasets for training. To meet this data requirement, large datasets are often constructed by combining multiple corpora,…

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,…

We present a novel approach to Speaker Diarization (SD) by leveraging text-based methods focused on Sentence-level Speaker Change Detection within dialogues. Unlike audio-based SD systems, which are often challenged by audio quality and…

Speech Large Language Models (Speech LLMs) have emerged as a crucial paradigm in recent years, extending the capabilities of traditional LLMs to speech tasks such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) and spoken dialogue modeling. However,…

Speaker diarization (SD) is typically used with an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system to ascribe speaker labels to recognized words. The conventional approach reconciles outputs from independently optimized ASR and SD systems, where…

In this paper, we conduct a comparative study on speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition (SA-ASR) in the multi-party meeting scenario, a topic with increasing attention in meeting rich transcription. Specifically, three approaches…

In this research paper, we delve into the topics of Speech Diarization and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). Speech diarization involves the separation of individual speakers within an audio stream. By employing the ASR transcript, the…

Although automatic emotion recognition (AER) has recently drawn significant research interest, most current AER studies use manually segmented utterances, which are usually unavailable for dialogue systems. This paper proposes integrating…

Speaker diarization(SD) is a classic task in speech processing and is crucial in multi-party scenarios such as meetings and conversations. Current mainstream speaker diarization approaches consider acoustic information only, which result in…

Deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) speakers typically have atypical speech caused by deafness. With the growing support of speech-based devices and software applications, more work needs to be done to make these devices inclusive to everyone. To…

The Speaker Diarization and Recognition (SDR) task aims to predict "who spoke when and what" within an audio clip, which is a crucial task in various real-world multi-speaker scenarios such as meeting transcription and dialogue systems.…

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for the transcription of speech conversations with natural speaker overlap, from single channel speech recordings. The proposed model is a combination of a speaker diarization system and a hybrid…

ASR models often suffer from a long-form deletion problem where the model predicts sequential blanks instead of words when transcribing a lengthy audio (in the order of minutes or hours). From the perspective of a user or downstream system…

Speaker diarization is necessary for interpreting conversations transcribed using automated speech recognition (ASR) tools. Despite significant developments in diarization methods, diarization accuracy remains an issue. Here, we investigate…

Multi-talker overlapped speech poses a significant challenge for speech recognition and diarization. Recent research indicated that these two tasks are inter-dependent and complementary, motivating us to explore a unified modeling method to…
