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…

Information about the spatiotemporal flow of humans within an urban context has a wide plethora of applications. Currently, although there are many different approaches to collect such data, there lacks a standardized framework to analyze…

Pooling is needed to aggregate frame-level features into utterance-level representations for speaker modeling. Given the success of statistics-based pooling methods, we hypothesize that speaker characteristics are well represented in the…

In this paper we target the class of modal clustering methods where clusters are defined in terms of the local modes of the probability density function which generates the data. The most well-known modal clustering method is the k-means…

Recent works on deep non-linear spatially selective filters demonstrate exceptional enhancement performance with computationally lightweight architectures for stationary speakers of known directions. However, to maintain this performance in…

State-of-the-art speaker diarization systems utilize knowledge from external data, in the form of a pre-trained distance metric, to effectively determine relative speaker identities to unseen data. However, much of recent focus has been on…

Many modern systems for speaker diarization, such as the recently-developed VBx approach, rely on clustering of DNN speaker embeddings followed by resegmentation. Two problems with this approach are that the DNN is not directly optimized…

Deep speaker embedding models have been commonly used as a building block for speaker diarization systems; however, the speaker embedding model is usually trained according to a global loss defined on the training data, which could be…

Recent advances in speaker diarization exploit large pretrained foundation models, such as WavLM, to achieve state-of-the-art performance on multiple datasets. Systems like DiariZen leverage these rich single-channel representations, but…

A new technique is presented to design energy-efficient large-scale tracking systems based on mobile clustering. The new technique optimizes the formation of mobile clusters to minimize energy consumption in large-scale tracking systems.…

Existing speaker diarization systems typically rely on large amounts of manually annotated data, which is labor-intensive and difficult to obtain, especially in real-world scenarios. Additionally, language-specific constraints in these…

Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering (HAC) is a widely-used clustering method based on repeatedly merging the closest pair of clusters, where inter-cluster distances are determined by a linkage function. Unlike many clustering methods, HAC…

Peer-led team learning (PLTL) is a model for teaching STEM courses where small student groups meet periodically to collaboratively discuss coursework. Automatic analysis of PLTL sessions would help education researchers to get insight into…

We present a modular toolkit to perform joint speaker diarization and speaker identification. The toolkit can leverage on multiple models and algorithms which are defined in a configuration file. Such flexibility allows our system to work…

We address the problem of online localization and tracking of multiple moving speakers in reverberant environments. The paper has the following contributions. We use the direct-path relative transfer function (DP-RTF), an inter-channel…

Precise user localization and tracking enhances energy-efficient and ultra-reliable low latency applications in the next generation wireless networks. In addition to computational complexity and data association challenges with…

Overlapping speech diarization is always treated as a multi-label classification problem. In this paper, we reformulate this task as a single-label prediction problem by encoding the multi-speaker labels with power set. Specifically, we…

Speaker diarization of audio streams turns out to be particularly challenging when applied to fictional films, where many characters talk in various acoustic conditions (background music, sound effects, variations in intonation...). Despite…

In multi-lingual societies, where multiple languages are spoken in a small geographic vicinity, informal conversations often involve mix of languages. Existing speech technologies may be inefficient in extracting information from such…

A robust multichannel speaker diarization and separation system is proposed by exploiting the spatio-temporal activity of the speakers. The system is realized in a hybrid architecture that combines the array signal processing units and the…
