In realistic environments, speech is usually interfered by various noise and reverberation, which dramatically degrades the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. To alleviate this issue, the commonest way is to use a…

Lately, the self-attention mechanism has marked a new milestone in the field of automatic speech recognition (ASR). Nevertheless, its performance is susceptible to environmental intrusions as the system predicts the next output symbol…

Deepfake speech utterances can be forged by replacing one or more words in a bona fide utterance with semantically different words synthesized with speech-generative models. While a dedicated synthetic word detector could be developed, we…
