Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have become the standard modeling technique for sequence data, and are used in a number of novel text-to-speech models. However, training a TTS model including RNN components has certain requirements for GPU…

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs), especially long short-term memory (LSTM) RNNs, are effective network for sequential task like speech recognition. Deeper LSTM models perform well on large vocabulary continuous speech recognition, because…

Streaming reinforcement learning has emerged as an online learning paradigm that conforms to the restrictions of natural learning agents that process data incrementally, i.e. with a batch size of 1 and no replay buffer. While streaming RL…

The two most popular loss functions for streaming end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) are RNN-Transducer (RNN-T) and connectionist temporal classification (CTC). Between these two loss types we can classify the monotonic RNN-T…

Recently, there has been increasing progress in end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) architecture, which transcribes speech to text without any pre-trained alignments. One popular end-to-end approach is the hybrid Connectionist…

In this paper, a novel architecture for speaker recognition is proposed by cascading speech enhancement and speaker processing. Its aim is to improve speaker recognition performance when speech signals are corrupted by noise. Instead of…

There is a growing interest in the speech community in developing Recurrent Neural Network Transducer (RNN-T) models for automatic speech recognition (ASR) applications. RNN-T is trained with a loss function that does not enforce temporal…

We propose an end-to-end model based on convolutional and recurrent neural networks for speech enhancement. Our model is purely data-driven and does not make any assumptions about the type or the stationarity of the noise. In contrast to…

Previously proposed FullSubNet has achieved outstanding performance in Deep Noise Suppression (DNS) Challenge and attracted much attention. However, it still encounters issues such as input-output mismatch and coarse processing for…

Large language models are increasingly adopted as semantic backbones for neural text-to-speech systems. However, frozen LLM representations are insufficient for modeling speaker specific acoustic and perceptual characteristics. Our…

Audio-visual speech separation methods aim to integrate different modalities to generate high-quality separated speech, thereby enhancing the performance of downstream tasks such as speech recognition. Most existing state-of-the-art (SOTA)…

A person tends to generate dynamic attention towards speech under complicated environments. Based on this phenomenon, we propose a framework combining dynamic attention and recursive learning together for monaural speech enhancement. Apart…

This paper proposes a self-regularised minimum latency training (SR-MLT) method for streaming Transformer-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. In previous works, latency was optimised by truncating the online attention weights…

Generative models have long been the dominant approach for speech recognition. The success of these models however relies on the use of sophisticated recipes and complicated machinery that is not easily accessible to non-practitioners.…

Linear transformers have emerged as a subquadratic-time alternative to softmax attention and have garnered significant interest due to their fixed-size recurrent state that lowers inference cost. However, their original formulation suffers…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) of single channel far-field recordings with an unknown number of speakers is traditionally tackled by cascaded modules. Recent research shows that end-to-end (E2E) multi-speaker ASR models can achieve…

This paper presents a novel streaming end-to-end target-speaker speech recognition that addresses two critical limitations in systems: the handling of noisy enrollment utterances and specific enrollment phrase requirements. This paper…

The human auditory system has the ability to selectively focus on key speech elements in an audio stream while giving secondary attention to less relevant areas such as noise or distortion within the background, dynamically adjusting its…

Chunk-based inference stands out as a popular approach in developing real-time streaming speech recognition, valued for its simplicity and efficiency. However, because it restricts the model's focus to only the history and current chunk…

The recurrent neural network transducer (RNN-T) is a prominent streaming end-to-end (E2E) ASR technology. In RNN-T, the acoustic encoder commonly consists of stacks of LSTMs. Very recently, as an alternative to LSTM layers, the Conformer…
