Our objective is an audio-visual model for separating a single speaker from a mixture of sounds such as other speakers and background noise. Moreover, we wish to hear the speaker even when the visual cues are temporarily absent due to…

Exploiting cross-lingual resources is an effective way to compensate for data scarcity of low resource languages. Recently, a novel multilingual model fusion technique has been proposed where a model is trained to learn cross-lingual…

In recent years, the evolution of end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) models has been remarkable, largely due to advances in deep learning architectures like transformer. On top of E2E systems, researchers have achieved…

The end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are often required to operate in reverberant conditions, where the long-term sub-band envelopes of the speech are temporally smeared. In this paper, we develop a feature…

End-to-end (E2E) systems have played a more and more important role in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and achieved great performance. However, E2E systems recognize output word sequences directly with the input acoustic feature, which…

Perceptually-inspired objective functions such as the perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ), signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR), and short-time objective intelligibility (STOI), have recently been used to optimize performance of…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) should serve every speaker, not only the majority ``standard'' speakers of a language. In order to build inclusive ASR, mitigating the bias against speaker groups who speak in a ``non-standard'' or…

Despite the increasing research interest in end-to-end learning systems for speech emotion recognition, conventional systems either suffer from the overfitting due in part to the limited training data, or do not explicitly consider the…

In this paper, we present SpecAugment++, a novel data augmentation method for deep neural networks based acoustic scene classification (ASC). Different from other popular data augmentation methods such as SpecAugment and mixup that only…

Continual learning for end-to-end automatic speech recognition has to contend with a number of difficulties. Fine-tuning strategies tend to lose performance on data already seen, a process known as catastrophic forgetting. On the other…

Data augmentation is commonly used to help build a robust speaker verification system, especially in limited-resource case. However, conventional data augmentation methods usually focus on the diversity of acoustic environment, leaving the…

Conversational context information, higher-level knowledge that spans across sentences, can help to recognize a long conversation. However, existing speech recognition models are typically built at a sentence level, and thus it may not…

Whereas conventional spoken language understanding (SLU) systems map speech to text, and then text to intent, end-to-end SLU systems map speech directly to intent through a single trainable model. Achieving high accuracy with these…

We explore cross-lingual multi-speaker speech synthesis and cross-lingual voice conversion applied to data augmentation for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems in low/medium-resource scenarios. Through extensive experiments, we show…

With the popularity of deep neural network, speech synthesis task has achieved significant improvements based on the end-to-end encoder-decoder framework in the recent days. More and more applications relying on speech synthesis technology…

Data augmentation is vital to the generalization ability and robustness of deep neural networks (DNNs) models. Existing augmentation methods for speaker verification manipulate the raw signal, which are time-consuming and the augmented…

End-to-end acoustic-to-word speech recognition models have recently gained popularity because they are easy to train, scale well to large amounts of training data, and do not require a lexicon. In addition, word models may also be easier to…

Supervised training of speech recognition models requires access to transcribed audio data, which often is not possible due to confidentiality issues. Our approach to this problem is to generate synthetic audio from a text-only corpus using…

In recent years, text-to-audio models have revolutionized the field of automatic audio generation. This paper investigates their application in generating synthetic datasets for training data-driven models. Specifically, this study analyzes…

While recent neural text-to-speech (TTS) systems perform remarkably well, they typically require a substantial amount of recordings from the target speaker reading in the desired speaking style. In this work, we present a novel 3-step…
