In many real-world scenarios, such as meetings, multiple speakers are present with an unknown number of participants, and their utterances often overlap. We address these multi-speaker challenges by a novel attention-based encoder-decoder…

Due to the substantial number of clinicians, patients, and data collection environments involved in clinical trials, gathering data of superior quality poses a significant challenge. In clinical trials, patients are assessed based on their…

Trained on 680,000 hours of massive speech data, Whisper is a multitasking, multilingual speech foundation model demonstrating superior performance in automatic speech recognition, translation, and language identification. However, its…

Multilingual speaker verification introduces the challenge of verifying a speaker in multiple languages. Existing systems were built using i-vector/x-vector approaches along with Bi-LSTMs, which were trained to discriminate speakers,…

Self-supervised learning in speech involves training a speech representation network on a large-scale unannotated speech corpus, and then applying the learned representations to downstream tasks. Since the majority of the downstream tasks…

Researches indicate that text-dependent speaker verification (TD-SV) often outperforms text-independent verification (TI-SV) in short speech scenarios. However, collecting large-scale fixed text speech data is challenging, and as speech…

While deep learning models have demonstrated robust performance in speaker recognition tasks, they primarily rely on low-level audio features learned empirically from spectrograms or raw waveforms. However, prior work has indicated that…

We introduce a new automatic evaluation method for speaker similarity assessment, that is consistent with human perceptual scores. Modern neural text-to-speech models require a vast amount of clean training data, which is why many solutions…

Unsupervised Zero-Shot Voice Conversion (VC) aims to modify the speaker characteristic of an utterance to match an unseen target speaker without relying on parallel training data. Recently, self-supervised learning of speech representation…

Usable speech criteria are proposed to extract minimally corrupted speech for speaker identification (SID) in co-channel speech. In co-channel speech, either speaker can randomly appear as the stronger speaker or the weaker one at a time.…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) needs to be robust to speaker differences. Voice Conversion (VC) modifies speaker characteristics of input speech. This is an attractive feature for ASR data augmentation. In this paper, we demonstrate…

Voice Conversion (VC) modifies speech to match a target speaker while preserving linguistic content. Traditional methods usually extract speaker information directly from speech while neglecting the explicit utilization of linguistic…

The difficulty of acquiring abundant, high-quality data, especially in multi-lingual contexts, has sparked interest in addressing low-resource scenarios. Moreover, current literature rely on fixed expressions from language IDs, which…

This paper proposes attentive statistics pooling for deep speaker embedding in text-independent speaker verification. In conventional speaker embedding, frame-level features are averaged over all the frames of a single utterance to form an…

In this paper, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based speaker recognition model for extracting robust speaker embeddings. The embedding can be extracted efficiently with linear activation in the embedding layer. To understand…

This study aims to develop a single integrated spoofing-aware speaker verification (SASV) embeddings that satisfy two aspects. First, rejecting non-target speakers' input as well as target speakers' spoofed inputs should be addressed.…

Self-supervised learning approaches have lately achieved great success on a broad spectrum of machine learning problems. In the field of speech processing, one of the most successful recent self-supervised models is wav2vec 2.0. In this…

The primary characteristic of robust speaker representations is that they are invariant to factors of variability not related to speaker identity. Disentanglement of speaker representations is one of the techniques used to improve…

This work presents a novel framework based on feed-forward neural network for text-independent speaker classification and verification, two related systems of speaker recognition. With optimized features and model training, it achieves 100%…

Speech anonymization and de-identification have garnered significant attention recently, especially in the healthcare area including telehealth consultations, patient voiceprint matching, and patient real-time monitoring. Speaker identity…
