Informed speaker extraction aims to extract a target speech signal from a mixture of sources given prior knowledge about the desired speaker. Recent deep learning-based methods leverage a speaker discriminative model that maps a reference…

Text-based speech editing (TSE) modifies speech using only text, eliminating re-recording. However, existing TSE methods, mainly focus on the content accuracy and acoustic consistency of synthetic speech segments, and often overlook the…

Active speaker detection plays a vital role in human-machine interaction. Recently, a few end-to-end audiovisual frameworks emerged. However, these models' inference time was not explored and are not applicable for real-time applications…

As human-machine voice interfaces provide easy access to increasingly intelligent machines, many state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are proposed. However, commercial ASR systems usually have poor performance on…

Accurate prediction of the user intent to interact with a voice assistant (VA) on a device (e.g. on the phone) is critical for achieving naturalistic, engaging, and privacy-centric interactions with the VA. To this end, we present a novel…

Self-supervised learning (SSL) methods which learn representations of data without explicit supervision have gained popularity in speech-processing tasks, particularly for single-talker applications. However, these models often have…

Neural network-based speaker recognition has achieved significant improvement in recent years. A robust speaker representation learns meaningful knowledge from both hard and easy samples in the training set to achieve good performance.…

The cochlear implant (CI) is a successful biomedical device that enables individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss to perceive sound through electrical stimulation, yet listening in noise remains challenging. Recent deep learning…

Audio-visual speaker extraction isolates a target speaker's speech from a mixture speech signal conditioned on a visual cue, typically using the target speaker's face recording. However, in real-world scenarios, other co-occurring faces are…

Modern speaker verification systems primarily rely on speaker embeddings, followed by verification based on cosine similarity between the embedding vectors of the enrollment and test utterances. While effective, these methods struggle with…

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…

Improving the representation of contextual information is key to unlocking the potential of end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this work, we present a novel and simple approach for training an ASR context mechanism with…

In active speaker detection (ASD), we would like to detect whether an on-screen person is speaking based on audio-visual cues. Previous studies have primarily focused on modeling audio-visual synchronization cue, which depends on the video…

Constructing an embedding space for musical instrument sounds that can meaningfully represent new and unseen instruments is important for downstream music generation tasks such as multi-instrument synthesis and timbre transfer. The…

Generalized end-to-end (GE2E) model is widely used in speaker verification (SV) fields due to its expandability and generality regardless of specific languages. However, the long-short term memory (LSTM) based on GE2E has two limitations:…

We previously proposed contextual spelling correction (CSC) to correct the output of end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) models with contextual information such as name, place, etc. Although CSC has achieved reasonable…

Speaker extraction aims to extract target speech signal from a multi-talker environment with interference speakers and surrounding noise, given the target speaker's reference information. Most speaker extraction systems achieve satisfactory…

Automated Audio Captioning (AAC) involves generating natural language descriptions of audio content, using encoder-decoder architectures. An audio encoder produces audio embeddings fed to a decoder, usually a Transformer decoder, for…

This paper deals with Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) under multimodal input corruption situations where audio inputs and visual inputs are both corrupted, which is not well addressed in previous research directions. Previous studies…

We propose a multichannel-to-multichannel target sound extraction (M2M-TSE) framework for separating multichannel target signals from a multichannel mixture of sound sources. Target sound extraction (TSE) isolates a specific target signal…
