We present improvements to speaker diarization in the two-stage end-to-end neural diarization with vector clustering (EEND-VC) framework. The first stage employs a Conformer-based EEND model with WavLM features to infer frame-level speaker…

This paper proposes a new model for extracting an interpretable sentence embedding by introducing self-attention. Instead of using a vector, we use a 2-D matrix to represent the embedding, with each row of the matrix attending on a…

Stance detection is an important task, supporting many downstream tasks such as discourse parsing and modeling the propagation of fake news, rumors, and science denial. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for stance detection. Our…

We propose a method to address audio-visual target speaker enhancement in multi-talker environments using event-driven cameras. State of the art audio-visual speech separation methods shows that crucial information is the movement of the…

In this paper, we introduce a streaming keyphrase detection system that can be easily customized to accurately detect any phrase composed of words from a large vocabulary. The system is implemented with an end-to-end trained automatic…

End-to-end speaker diarization for an unknown number of speakers is addressed in this paper. Recently proposed end-to-end speaker diarization outperformed conventional clustering-based speaker diarization, but it has one drawback: it is…

The temporal dynamics of speech, encompassing variations in rhythm, intonation, and speaking rate, contain important and unique information about speaker identity. This paper proposes a new method for representing speaker characteristics by…

Target Speaker Extraction (TSE) uses a reference cue to extract the target speech from a mixture. In TSE systems relying on audio cues, the speaker embedding from the enrolled speech is crucial to performance. However, these embeddings may…

The accuracy of automated speaker recognition is negatively impacted by change in emotions in a person's speech. In this paper, we hypothesize that speaker identity is composed of various vocal style factors that may be learned from…

When a speaker verification (SV) system operates far from the sound sourced, significant challenges arise due to the interference of noise and reverberation. Studies have shown that incorporating phonetic information into speaker embedding…

Since the mental states of the speaker modulate speech, stress introduced by cognitive or physical loads could be detected in the voice. The existing voice stress detection benchmark has shown that the audio embeddings extracted from the…

In this paper, an improved strategy for automated text dependent speaker identification system has been proposed in noisy environment. The identification process incorporates the Neuro- Genetic hybrid algorithm with cepstral based features.…

Self-modulating mechanisms introduce dynamic adaptation capabilities within language models through contextual realignment strategies that influence token embedding trajectories across extended sequences. Contextual Flux is explored as an…

State-of-the-art speaker verification systems are inherently dependent on some kind of human supervision as they are trained on massive amounts of labeled data. However, manually annotating utterances is slow, expensive and not scalable to…

Disentanglement is the task of learning representations that identify and separate factors that explain the variation observed in data. Disentangled representations are useful to increase the generalizability, explainability, and fairness…

In this paper, we demonstrate a method for training speaker embedding extractors using weak annotation. More specifically, we are using the full VoxCeleb recordings and the name of the celebrities appearing on each video without knowledge…

This paper advances phrase break prediction (also known as phrasing) in multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) systems. We integrate speaker-specific features by leveraging speaker embeddings to enhance the performance of the phrasing model. We…

Speaker embedding has been a fundamental feature for speaker-related tasks such as verification, clustering, and diarization. Traditionally, speaker embeddings are represented as fixed vectors in high-dimensional space. This could lead to…

In recent years, the rapid progress in speaker verification (SV) technology has been driven by the extraction of speaker representations based on deep learning. However, such representations are still vulnerable to emotion variability. To…

The primary characteristic of robust speaker representations is that they are invariant to factors of variability not related to speaker identity. Disentanglement of speaker representations is one of the techniques used to improve…
