Personalized speech enhancement (PSE) models utilize additional cues, such as speaker embeddings like d-vectors, to remove background noise and interfering speech in real-time and thus improve the speech quality of online video conferencing…

Extracting the desired speech from a mixture is a meaningful and challenging task. The end-to-end DNN-based methods, though attractive, face the problem of generalization. In this paper, we explore a sequential approach for target speech…

Speaker-aware source separation methods are promising workarounds for major difficulties such as arbitrary source permutation and unknown number of sources. However, it remains challenging to achieve satisfying performance provided a very…

The performance of speech enhancement algorithms in a multi-speaker scenario depends on correctly identifying the target speaker to be enhanced. Auditory attention decoding (AAD) methods allow to identify the target speaker which the…

Teleconferencing is becoming essential during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in real-world applications, speech quality can deteriorate due to, for example, background interference, noise, or reverberation. To solve this problem, target…

Personalized or target speech extraction (TSE) typically needs a clean enrollment -- hard to obtain in real-world crowded environments. We remove the essential need for enrollment by predicting, from the mixture itself, a small set of…

Most deep learning-based multi-channel speech enhancement methods focus on designing a set of beamforming coefficients to directly filter the low signal-to-noise ratio signals received by microphones, which hinders the performance of these…

Speaker verification (SV) performance deteriorates as utterances become shorter. To this end, we propose a new architecture called VoiceExtender which provides a promising solution for improving SV performance when handling short-duration…

In this paper, we present the Blind Speech Separation and Dereverberation (BSSD) network, which performs simultaneous speaker separation, dereverberation and speaker identification in a single neural network. Speaker separation is guided by…

Target speaker extraction, which aims at extracting a target speaker's voice from a mixture of voices using audio, visual or locational clues, has received much interest. Recently an audio-visual target speaker extraction has been proposed…

Humans can easily isolate a single speaker from a complex acoustic environment, a capability referred to as the "Cocktail Party Effect." However, replicating this ability has been a significant challenge in the field of target speaker…

In this paper we present a unified time-frequency method for speaker extraction in clean and noisy conditions. Given a mixed signal, along with a reference signal, the common approaches for extracting the desired speaker are either applied…

The majority of existing speech bandwidth extension (BWE) methods operate under the constraint of fixed source and target sampling rates, which limits their flexibility in practical applications. In this paper, we propose a multi-stage…

Speaker Diarization (SD) aims at grouping speech segments that belong to the same speaker. This task is required in many speech-processing applications, such as rich meeting transcription. In this context, distant microphone arrays usually…

This paper introduces an improved target speaker extractor, referred to as Speakerfilter-Pro, based on our previous Speakerfilter model. The Speakerfilter uses a bi-direction gated recurrent unit (BGRU) module to characterize the target…

Target speech separation refers to extracting a target speaker's voice from an overlapped audio of simultaneous talkers. Previously the use of visual modality for target speech separation has demonstrated great potentials. This work…

The rapid development of auditory attention decoding (AAD) based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals offers the possibility EEG-driven target speaker extraction. However, how to effectively utilize the target-speaker common information…

Spotforming is a target-speaker extraction technique that uses multiple microphone arrays. This method applies beamforming (BF) to each microphone array, and the common components among the BF outputs are estimated as the target source.…

Voice triggering (VT) enables users to activate their devices by just speaking a trigger phrase. A front-end system is typically used to perform speech enhancement and/or separation, and produces multiple enhanced and/or separated signals.…

We address a blind source separation (BSS) problem in a noisy reverberant environment in which the number of microphones $M$ is greater than the number of sources of interest, and the other noise components can be approximated as stationary…
