Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) incorporates auditory and visual modalities to improve recognition accuracy, particularly in noisy environments where audio-only speech systems are insufficient. While previous research has largely…

A demonstration of a real-time and continuous turn-taking prediction system is presented. The system is based on a voice activity projection (VAP) model, which directly maps dialogue stereo audio to future voice activities. The VAP model…

Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) has already been applied to learn speaker characterizations from single or non-simultaneous speech for speaker recognition applications. It is also known for its good performance in (blind) source…

In a recent work, we presented a discriminative backend for speaker verification that achieved good out-of-the-box calibration performance on most tested conditions containing varying levels of mismatch to the training conditions. This…

This study presents an improved quantum teleportation protocol designed to enhance fidelity in noisy environments by combining weak measurements (WMs) with flip and reversal operations. In our scheme, Alice prepares a four-qubit entangled…

Automatic measuring of speaker sincerity degree is a novel research problem in computational paralinguistics. This paper proposes covariance-based feature vectors to model speech and ensembles of support vector regressors to estimate the…

Despite the maturity of modern speaker verification technology, its performance still significantly degrades when facing non-neutrally-phonated (e.g., shouted and whispered) speech. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a new…

In the field of deepfake detection, previous studies focus on using reconstruction or mask and prediction methods to train pre-trained models, which are then transferred to fake audio detection training where the encoder is used to extract…

Uncertainty modeling in speaker representation aims to learn the variability present in speech utterances. While the conventional cosine-scoring is computationally efficient and prevalent in speaker recognition, it lacks the capability to…

To extract the voice of a target speaker when mixed with a variety of other sounds, such as white and ambient noises or the voices of interfering speakers, we extend the Transformer network to attend the most relevant information with…

This paper presents two single channel speech dereverberation methods to enhance the quality of speech signals that have been recorded in an enclosed space. For both methods, the room acoustics are modeled using a nonnegative approximation…

The success of adversarial attacks to speaker recognition is mainly in white-box scenarios. When applying the adversarial voices that are generated by attacking white-box surrogate models to black-box victim models, i.e.…

In this study, we propose the global context guided channel and time-frequency transformations to model the long-range, non-local time-frequency dependencies and channel variances in speaker representations. We use the global context…

Speech recognition in noisy and channel distorted scenarios is often challenging as the current acoustic modeling schemes are not adaptive to the changes in the signal distribution in the presence of noise. In this work, we develop a novel…

Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based vocoders are superior in both inference speed and synthesis quality when reconstructing an audible waveform from an acoustic representation. This study focuses on improving the discriminator for…

Supervised learning based methods for source localization, being data driven, can be adapted to different acoustic conditions via training and have been shown to be robust to adverse acoustic environments. In this paper, a convolutional…

In this paper, a binaural beamforming algorithm for hearing aid applications is introduced.The beamforming algorithm is designed to be robust to some error in the estimate of the target speaker direction. The algorithm has two main…

Target speaker extraction focuses on extracting a target speech signal from an environment with multiple speakers by leveraging an enrollment. Existing methods predominantly rely on speaker embeddings obtained from the enrollment,…

In this paper, we present a deep neural network-based online multi-speaker localisation algorithm. Following the W-disjoint orthogonality principle in the spectral domain, each time-frequency (TF) bin is dominated by a single speaker, and…

We address the problem of computing the interference-plus-noise covariance matrix from a sparsely located demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for spatial domain interference whitening (IW). The IW procedure is critical at the user…
