Text-based voice editing (TBVE) uses synthetic output from text-to-speech (TTS) systems to replace words in an original recording. Recent work has used neural models to produce edited speech that is similar to the original speech in terms…

This paper focuses on the problem of query by example spoken term detection (QbE-STD) in zero-resource scenario. State-of-the-art approaches primarily rely on dynamic time warping (DTW) based template matching techniques using phone…

The most pressing challenge in the field of voice biometrics is selecting the most efficient technique of speaker recognition. Every individual's voice is peculiar, factors like physical differences in vocal organs, accent and pronunciation…

Mispronunciation detection and diagnosis (MDD) is a core component of computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT). Most of the existing MDD approaches focus on dealing with categorical errors (viz. one canonical phone is substituted by…

As an indispensable part of modern human-computer interaction system, speech synthesis technology helps users get the output of intelligent machine more easily and intuitively, thus has attracted more and more attention. Due to the…

The performances of the automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems degrade due to the reduction in the amount of speech used for enrollment and verification. Combining multiple systems based on different features and classifiers…

Training an end-to-end (E2E) neural network speech-to-intent (S2I) system that directly extracts intents from speech requires large amounts of intent-labeled speech data, which is time consuming and expensive to collect. Initializing the…

End-to-end (E2E) models are becoming increasingly popular for spoken language understanding (SLU) systems and are beginning to achieve competitive performance to pipeline-based approaches. However, recent work has shown that these models…

Unsupervised disentangled representation learning from the unlabelled audio data, and high fidelity audio generation have become two linchpins in the machine learning research fields. However, the representation learned from an unsupervised…

Speaker modeling is essential for many related tasks, such as speaker recognition and speaker diarization. The dominant modeling approach is fixed-dimensional vector representation, i.e., speaker embedding. This paper introduces a research…

We present Deep Voice, a production-quality text-to-speech system constructed entirely from deep neural networks. Deep Voice lays the groundwork for truly end-to-end neural speech synthesis. The system comprises five major building blocks:…

Hybrid and end-to-end (E2E) systems have their individual advantages, with different error patterns in the speech recognition results. By jointly modeling audio and text, the E2E model performs better in matched scenarios and scales well…

Short-utterance speaker verification presents significant challenges due to the limited information in brief speech segments, which can undermine accuracy and reliability. Recently, zero-shot text-to-speech (ZS-TTS) systems have made…

Traditional studies on voice conversion (VC) have made progress with parallel training data and known speakers. Good voice conversion quality is obtained by exploring better alignment modules or expressive mapping functions. In this study,…

Recent research has delved into speech enhancement (SE) approaches that leverage audio embeddings from pre-trained models, diverging from time-frequency masking or signal prediction techniques. This paper introduces an efficient and…

In this paper we introduce a recurrent neural network (RNN) based variational autoencoder (VAE) model with a new constrained loss function that can generate more meaningful electroencephalography (EEG) features from raw EEG features to…

Leveraging the fact that speaker identity and content vary on different time scales, \acrlong{fhvae} (\acrshort{fhvae}) uses different latent variables to symbolize these two attributes. Disentanglement of these attributes is carried out by…

In this work, we introduce metric learning (ML) to enhance the deep embedding learning for text-independent speaker verification (SV). Specifically, the deep speaker embedding network is trained with conventional cross entropy loss and…

Spoken Grammatical Error Correction (SGEC) and Feedback (SGECF) are crucial for second language learners, teachers and test takers. Traditional SGEC systems rely on a cascaded pipeline consisting of an ASR, a module for disfluency detection…

The unified streaming and non-streaming two-pass (U2) end-to-end model for speech recognition has shown great performance in terms of streaming capability, accuracy, real-time factor (RTF), and latency. In this paper, we present U2++, an…
