Deep learning based speech enhancement has made rapid development towards improving quality, while models are becoming more compact and usable for real-time on-the-edge inference. However, the speech quality scales directly with the model…

In a noisy environment, a lossy speech signal can be automatically restored by a listener if he/she knows the language well. That is, with the built-in knowledge of a "language model", a listener may effectively suppress noise interference…

Speech enhancement has seen great improvement in recent years using end-to-end neural networks. However, most models are agnostic to the spoken phonetic content. Recently, several studies suggested phonetic-aware speech enhancement, mostly…

Target Speech Extraction (TSE) traditionally relies on explicit clues about the speaker's identity like enrollment audio, face images, or videos, which may not always be available. In this paper, we propose a text-guided TSE model StyleTSE…

A general disentanglement-based speaker anonymization system typically separates speech into content, speaker, and prosody features using individual encoders. This paper explores how to adapt such a system when a new speech attribute, for…

Improving the accuracy of single-channel automatic speech recognition (ASR) in noisy conditions is challenging. Strong speech enhancement front-ends are available, however, they typically require that the ASR model is retrained to cope with…

Recent autoregressive transformer-based speech enhancement (SE) methods have shown promising results by leveraging advanced semantic understanding and contextual modeling of speech. However, these approaches often rely on complex…

Speech enhancement in hearing aids remains a difficult task in nonstationary acoustic environments, mainly because current signal processing algorithms rely on fixed, manually tuned parameters that cannot adapt in situ to different users or…

Background noise reduces speech intelligibility and quality, making speaker verification (SV) in noisy environments a challenging task. To improve the noise robustness of SV systems, additive noise data augmentation method has been commonly…

The goal of this contribution is to use a parametric speech synthesis system for reducing background noise and other interferences from recorded speech signals. In a first step, Hidden Markov Models of the synthesis system are trained. Two…

Learning-based Text To Speech systems have the potential to generalize from one speaker to the next and thus require a relatively short sample of any new voice. However, this promise is currently largely unrealized. We present a method that…

In many situations, we would like to hear desired sound events (SEs) while being able to ignore interference. Target sound extraction (TSE) tackles this problem by estimating the audio signal of the sounds of target SE classes in a mixture…

Diffusion model-based speech enhancement has received increased attention since it can generate very natural enhanced signals and generalizes well to unseen conditions. Diffusion models have been explored for several sub-tasks of speech…

Recently, an audio-visual speech generative model based on variational autoencoder (VAE) has been proposed, which is combined with a nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) model for noise variance to perform unsupervised speech enhancement.…

Speaker Verification still suffers from the challenge of generalization to novel adverse environments. We leverage on the recent advancements made by deep learning based speech enhancement and propose a feature-domain supervised denoising…

Speaker extraction aims to mimic humans' selective auditory attention by extracting a target speaker's voice from a multi-talker environment. It is common to perform the extraction in frequency-domain, and reconstruct the time-domain signal…

Target Speaker Extraction (TSE) aims to isolate a specific speaker's voice from a mixture, guided by a pre-recorded enrollment. While TSE bypasses the global permutation ambiguity of blind source separation, it remains vulnerable to speaker…

We propose speaker separation using speaker inventories and estimated speech (SSUSIES), a framework leveraging speaker profiles and estimated speech for speaker separation. SSUSIES contains two methods, speaker separation using speaker…

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has recently shown remarkable results in closing the gap between supervised and unsupervised learning. The idea is to learn robust features that are invariant to distortions of the input data. Despite its…

Acoustic word embeddings (AWEs) aims to map a variable-length speech segment into a fixed-dimensional representation. High-quality AWEs should be invariant to variations, such as duration, pitch and speaker. In this paper, we introduce a…
