This paper proposes an additive phoneme-aware margin softmax (APM-Softmax) loss to train the multi-task learning network with phonetic information for language recognition. In additive margin softmax (AM-Softmax) loss, the margin is set as…

With recent research advances, deep learning models have become an attractive choice for acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) in real-time teleconferencing applications. Since acoustic echo is one of the major sources of poor audio quality, a…

The articulatory geometric configurations of the vocal tract and the acoustic properties of the resultant speech sound are considered to have a strong causal relationship. This paper aims at finding a joint latent representation between the…

Many hearables contain an in-ear microphone, which may be used to capture the own voice of its user. However, due to the hearable occluding the ear canal, the in-ear microphone mostly records body-conducted speech, typically suffering from…

The Grapheme-to-Phoneme (G2P) task aims to convert orthographic input into a discrete phonetic representation. G2P conversion is beneficial to various speech processing applications, such as text-to-speech and speech recognition. However,…

Acoustic emotion recognition aims to categorize the affective state of the speaker and is still a difficult task for machine learning models. The difficulties come from the scarcity of training data, general subjectivity in emotion…

In recent years, end-to-end approaches have made notable progress in addressing the challenge of speaker diarization, which involves segmenting and identifying speakers in multi-talker recordings. One such approach, Encoder-Decoder…

This paper compares machine learning approaches with different input data formats for the classification of acoustic emission (AE) signals. AE signals are a promising monitoring technique in many structural health monitoring applications.…

Current fake audio detection algorithms have achieved promising performances on most datasets. However, their performance may be significantly degraded when dealing with audio of a different dataset. The orthogonal weight modification to…

Recent studies have introduced methods for learning acoustic word embeddings (AWEs)---fixed-size vector representations of words which encode their acoustic features. Despite the widespread use of AWEs in speech processing research, they…

Real-Time Magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) of the midsagittal plane of the mouth is of interest for speech production research. In this work, we focus on estimating utterance level rtMRI video from the spoken phoneme sequence. We obtain…

Phoneme-level computer-assisted pronunciation training systems typically rely on phoneme-level annotations, which are costly and scarce. In this work, we investigate whether phoneme-level mispronunciation information can be learned without…

This paper proposes a multi-task learning network with phoneme-aware and channel-wise attentive learning strategies for text-dependent Speaker Verification (SV). In the proposed structure, the frame-level multi-task learning along with the…

In this paper, we present our first experiments in text-to-articulation prediction, using ultrasound tongue image targets. We extend a traditional (vocoder-based) DNN-TTS framework with predicting PCA-compressed ultrasound images, of which…

In zero-resource settings where transcribed speech audio is unavailable, unsupervised feature learning is essential for downstream speech processing tasks. Here we compare two recent methods for frame-level acoustic feature learning. For…

The learning of interpretable representations from raw data presents significant challenges for time series data like speech. In this work, we propose a relevance weighting scheme that allows the interpretation of the speech representations…

Incremental learning aims to learn new tasks sequentially without forgetting the previously learned ones. Most of the existing incremental learning methods for audio focus on training the model from scratch on the initial task, and the same…

Speech emotion recognition (SER) has advanced significantly for the sake of deep-learning methods, while textual information further enhances its performance. However, few studies have focused on the physiological information during speech…

Grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) models are a key component in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, such as the ASR system in Alexa, as they are used to generate pronunciations for out-of-vocabulary words that do not exist in the…

Recent work on discriminative segmental models has shown that they can achieve competitive speech recognition performance, using features based on deep neural frame classifiers. However, segmental models can be more challenging to train…
