The paper copes with the task of automatic assessment of second language proficiency from the language learners' spoken responses to test prompts. The task has significant relevance to the field of computer assisted language learning. The…

This paper proposes a novel unsupervised autoregressive neural model for learning generic speech representations. In contrast to other speech representation learning methods that aim to remove noise or speaker variabilities, ours is…

Advanced auditory models are useful in designing signal-processing algorithms for hearing-loss compensation or speech enhancement. Such auditory models provide rich and detailed descriptions of the auditory pathway, and might allow for…

Most of the previous approaches to lyrics-to-audio alignment used a pre-developed automatic speech recognition (ASR) system that innately suffered from several difficulties to adapt the speech model to individual singers. A significant…

Speech production is a dynamic procedure, which involved multi human organs including the tongue, jaw and lips. Modeling the dynamics of the vocal tract deformation is a fundamental problem to understand the speech, which is the most common…

Incremental learning aims to learn new tasks sequentially without forgetting the previously learned ones. Most of the existing incremental learning methods for audio focus on training the model from scratch on the initial task, and the same…

Effective human-AI coordination requires artificial agents capable of exhibiting and responding to human-like behaviors while adapting to changing contexts. Imitation learning has emerged as one of the prominent approaches to build such…

Recently, speech representation learning has improved many speech-related tasks such as speech recognition, speech classification, and speech-to-text translation. However, all the above tasks are in the direction of speech understanding,…

Recent advances in machine learning and the availability of articulatory datasets allow vocal tract synthesis to be conditioned on phonetic sequences, a primary task of articulatory speech synthesis. However, quality assessment needs a…

The demand of probabilistic time series forecasting has been recently raised in various dynamic system scenarios, for example, system identification and prognostic and health management of machines. To this end, we combine the advances in…

Personalized binaural audio reproduction is the basis of realistic spatial localization, sound externalization, and immersive listening, directly shaping user experience and listening effort. This survey reviews recent advances in deep…

Recent years have seen the proposal of a number of neural architectures for the problem of Program Induction. Given a set of input-output examples, these architectures are able to learn mappings that generalize to new test inputs. While…

Recent research shows end-to-end ASR systems can recognize overlapped speech from multiple speakers. However, all published works have assumed no latency constraints during inference, which does not hold for most voice assistant…

A lot of work has been done to build text-based language models for performing different NLP tasks, but not much research has been done in the case of audio-based language models. This paper proposes a Convolutional Autoencoder based neural…

We propose ARiSE, an auto-regressive algorithm for multi-channel speech enhancement. ARiSE improves existing deep neural network (DNN) based frame-online multi-channel speech enhancement models by introducing auto-regressive connections,…

Articulatory acoustic inversion aims to reconstruct the complete geometry of the vocal tract from the speech signal. In this paper, we present a comparative study of several levels of phonetic segmentation accuracy, together with a…

The acoustic cues used by humans and other animals to localise sounds are subtle, and change during and after development. This means that we need to constantly relearn or recalibrate the auditory spatial map throughout our lifetimes. This…

A number of studies have successfully developed speaker verification or presentation attack detection systems. However, studies integrating the two tasks remain in the preliminary stages. In this paper, we propose two approaches for…

We propose a neural text-to-speech (TTS) model that can imitate a new speaker's voice using only a small amount of speech sample. We demonstrate voice imitation using only a 6-seconds long speech sample without any other information such as…

This paper presents methods of making using of text supervision to improve the performance of sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) voice conversion. Compared with conventional frame-to-frame voice conversion approaches, the seq2seq acoustic…
