The paper introduces Diff-Filter, a multichannel speech enhancement approach based on the diffusion probabilistic model, for improving speaker verification performance under noisy and reverberant conditions. It also presents a new two-step…

Automatic recognition of disordered speech remains a highly challenging task to date. Sources of variability commonly found in normal speech including accent, age or gender, when further compounded with the underlying causes of speech…

Speech separation is the process of separating multiple speakers from an audio recording. In this work we propose to separate the sources using a Speaker LOcalization Guided Deflation (SLOGD) approach wherein we estimate the sources…

State-of-the-art speaker recognition systems comprise an x-vector (or i-vector) speaker embedding front-end followed by a probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) backend. The effectiveness of these components relies on the…

The performance of voice-based Parkinson's disease (PD) detection systems degrades when there is an acoustic mismatch between training and operating conditions caused mainly by degradation in test signals. In this paper, we address this…

Learning sentence embeddings is a fundamental problem in natural language processing. While existing research primarily focuses on enhancing the quality of sentence embeddings, the exploration of sentence embedding dimensions is limited.…

Speaker Diarization (SD) is a crucial component of modern end-to-end ASR pipelines. Traditional SD systems, which are typically audio-based and operate independently of ASR, often introduce speaker errors, particularly during speaker…

Probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) has broad application in open-set verification tasks, such as speaker verification. A key concern for PLDA is that the model is too simple (linear Gaussian) to deal with complicated data;…

PLDA is a popular normalization approach for the i-vector model, and it has delivered state-of-the-art performance in speaker verification. However, PLDA training requires a large amount of labelled development data, which is highly…

This paper proposes a generalized framework for domain adaptation of Probabilistic Linear Discriminant Analysis (PLDA) in speaker recognition. It not only includes several existing supervised and unsupervised domain adaptation methods but…

Signal decomposition (SD) approaches aim to decompose non-stationary signals into their constituent amplitude- and frequency-modulated components. This represents an important preprocessing step in many practical signal processing…

This paper presents a method of decoupled pronunciation and prosody modeling to improve the performance of meta-learning-based multilingual speech synthesis. The baseline meta-learning synthesis method adopts a single text encoder with a…

Speech Sound Disorders (SSD) affect roughly five percent of children, yet speech-language pathologists face severe staffing shortages and unmanageable caseloads. We test a hierarchical approach to SSD classification on the granular…

Dysarthric speech reconstruction (DSR), which aims to improve the quality of dysarthric speech, remains a challenge, not only because we need to restore the speech to be normal, but also must preserve the speaker's identity. The speaker…

In this study, we propose a modulation decoupling based single channel speech enhancement subspace framework, in which the spectrogram of noisy speech is decoupled as the product of a spectral envelop subspace and a spectral details…

This paper presents an exhaustive study about the robustness of several parameterizations, in speaker verification and identification tasks. We have studied several mismatch conditions: different recording sessions, microphones, and…

In diarization, the PLDA is typically used to model an inference structure which assumes the variation in speech segments be induced by various speakers. The speaker variation is then learned from the training data. However, human…

Concurrent Speaker Detection (CSD), the task of identifying active speakers and their overlaps in an audio signal, is essential for various audio applications, including meeting transcription, speaker diarization, and speech separation.…

Spoken language understanding (SLU) system usually consists of various pipeline components, where each component heavily relies on the results of its upstream ones. For example, Intent detection (ID), and slot filling (SF) require its…

Dysarthric speech recognition is a challenging task as dysarthric data is limited and its acoustics deviate significantly from normal speech. Model-based speaker adaptation is a promising method by using the limited dysarthric speech to…
