Speech enhancement aims to improve speech quality and intelligibility in noisy environments. Recent advancements have concentrated on deep neural networks, particularly employing the Two-Stage (TS) architecture to enhance feature…

This paper explores predicting suitable prosodic features for fine-grained emotion analysis from the discourse-level text. To obtain fine-grained emotional prosodic features as predictive values for our model, we extract a phoneme-level…

Best-performing speech models are trained on large amounts of data in the language they are meant to work for. However, most languages have sparse data, making training models challenging. This shortage of data is even more prevalent in…

Deep learning has been widely used for protein engineering. However, it is limited by the lack of sufficient experimental data to train an accurate model for predicting the functional fitness of high-order mutants. Here, we develop SESNet,…

Due to the unprecedented breakthroughs brought about by deep learning, speech enhancement (SE) techniques have been developed rapidly and play an important role prior to acoustic modeling to mitigate noise effects on speech. To increase the…

In this article, we provide an experimental observation: Deep neural network (DNN) based speech quality assessment (SQA) models have inherent latent representations where many types of impairments are clustered. While DNN-based SQA models…

We introduce a new dataset for multi-class emotion analysis from long-form narratives in English. The Dataset for Emotions of Narrative Sequences (DENS) was collected from both classic literature available on Project Gutenberg and modern…

This article describes a system for analyzing acoustic data to assist in the diagnosis and classification of children's speech sound disorders (SSDs) using a computer. The analysis concentrated on identifying and categorizing four distinct…

This paper explores the use of Deep Learning methods for automatic estimation of quality of human translations. Automatic estimation can provide useful feedback for translation teaching, examination and quality control. Conventional methods…

Phonation mode is an essential characteristic of singing style as well as an important expression of performance. It can be classified into four categories, called neutral, breathy, pressed and flow. Previous studies used voice quality…

The effects of language mismatch impact speech anti-spoofing systems, while investigations and quantification of these effects remain limited. Existing anti-spoofing datasets are mainly in English, and the high cost of acquiring…

This paper presents an accented text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis framework with limited training data. We study two aspects concerning accent rendering: phonetic (phoneme difference) and prosodic (pitch pattern and phoneme duration)…

Audio tagging is an active research area and has a wide range of applications. Since the release of AudioSet, great progress has been made in advancing model performance, which mostly comes from the development of novel model architectures…

Deep learning has been applied to diverse audio semantics tasks, enabling the construction of models that learn hierarchical levels of features from high-dimensional raw data, delivering state-of-the-art performance. But do these algorithms…

Automatic syllable count estimation (SCE) is used in a variety of applications ranging from speaking rate estimation to detecting social activity from wearable microphones or developmental research concerned with quantifying speech heard by…

Recent analysis on speech emotion recognition has made considerable advances with the use of MFCCs spectrogram features and the implementation of neural network approaches such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Capsule networks…

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a serious and prevalent condition, and acoustic analysis via consumer devices (e.g. smartphones) offers a low-cost solution to screening for it. We present a novel approach for the acoustic identification…

Pronunciation assessment is a major challenge in the computer-aided pronunciation training system, especially at the word (phoneme)-level. To obtain word (phoneme)-level scores, current methods usually rely on aligning components to obtain…

Speech emotion recognition systems (SER) can achieve high accuracy when the training and test data are identically distributed, but this assumption is frequently violated in practice and the performance of SER systems plummet against…

Speech recognition models often obtain degraded performance when tested on speech with unseen accents. Domain-adversarial training (DAT) and multi-task learning (MTL) are two common approaches for building accent-robust ASR models. ASR…
