Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) have been widely used in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, owing to their powerful text representations trained on large-scale corpora. In this paper, we propose a new PLM called PERT for…

Serialized Output Training (SOT) has showcased state-of-the-art performance in multi-talker speech recognition by sequentially decoding the speech of individual speakers. To address the challenging label-permutation issue, prior methods…

Vision-and-language navigation (VLN) is a crucial but challenging cross-modal navigation task. One powerful technique to enhance the generalization performance in VLN is the use of an independent speaker model to provide pseudo instructions…

Audio Telepresence (AT) aims to create an immersive experience of the audio scene at the far end for the user(s) at the near end. The application of AT could encompass scenarios with varying degrees of emphasis on signal enhancement and…

Many of the recent advances in speech separation are primarily aimed at synthetic mixtures of short audio utterances with high degrees of overlap. Most of these approaches need an additional stitching step to stitch the separated speech…

Recognizing overlapping speech from multiple speakers in conversational scenarios is one of the most challenging problem for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Serialized output training (SOT) is a classic method to address multi-talker…
