Speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition (ASR) in multi-speaker environments remains a major challenge. While some approaches achieve strong performance when fine-tuned on specific domains, few systems generalize well across…

Speaker diarization is a task to label audio or video recordings with classes that correspond to speaker identity, or in short, a task to identify "who spoke when". In the early years, speaker diarization algorithms were developed for…

In recent years, neural network based methods for multi-speaker text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) have made significant progress. However, the current speaker encoder models used in these methods still cannot capture enough speaker…

Recent trends in neural network based text-to-speech/speech synthesis pipelines have employed recurrent Seq2seq architectures that can synthesize realistic sounding speech directly from text characters. These systems however have complex…

We propose a speaker selection mechanism (SSM) for the training of an end-to-end beamforming neural network, based on recent findings that a listener usually looks to the target speaker with a certain undershot angle. The mechanism allows…

With the massive developments of end-to-end (E2E) neural networks, recent years have witnessed unprecedented breakthroughs in automatic speech recognition (ASR). However, the codeswitching phenomenon remains a major obstacle that hinders…

Speaker diarization has gained considerable attention within speech processing research community. Mainstream speaker diarization rely primarily on speakers' voice characteristics extracted from acoustic signals and often overlook the…

Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in end-to-end speaker diarization and recognition. However, their speaker discriminability remains limited due to the scarcity of large-scale conversational data…

Strong representations of target speakers can help extract important information about speakers and detect corresponding temporal regions in multi-speaker conversations. In this study, we propose a neural architecture that simultaneously…

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) is now the dominant architecture for frontier language models, yet it requires all expert parameters to be loaded in memory, making it less preferable for memory-constrained deployment. Existing compression methods…

Robust speech recognition is a key prerequisite for semantic feature extraction in automatic aphasic speech analysis. However, standard one-size-fits-all automatic speech recognition models perform poorly when applied to aphasic speech. One…

In this paper, we make the explicit connection between image segmentation methods and end-to-end diarization methods. From these insights, we propose a novel, fully end-to-end diarization model, EEND-M2F, based on the Mask2Former…

Recent advancements in speaker verification techniques show promise, but their performance often deteriorates significantly in challenging acoustic environments. Although speech enhancement methods can improve perceived audio quality, they…

This paper presents an experimental study on deep speaker embedding with an attention mechanism that has been found to be a powerful representation learning technique in speaker recognition. In this framework, an attention model works as a…

Text-to-speech systems recently achieved almost indistinguishable quality from human speech. However, the prosody of those systems is generally flatter than natural speech, producing samples with low expressiveness. Disentanglement of…

Speaker diarization is connected to semantic segmentation in computer vision. Inspired from MaskFormer \cite{cheng2021per} which treats semantic segmentation as a set-prediction problem, we propose an end-to-end approach to predict a set of…

End-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems directly map acoustics to words using a unified model. Previous works mostly focus on E2E training a single model which integrates acoustic and language model into a whole.…

Recently, a fully supervised speaker diarization approach was proposed (UIS-RNN) which models speakers using multiple instances of a parameter-sharing recurrent neural network. In this paper we propose qualitative modifications to the model…

Speaker diarization (SD) is typically used with an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system to ascribe speaker labels to recognized words. The conventional approach reconciles outputs from independently optimized ASR and SD systems, where…

End-to-End Neural Diarization with Encoder-Decoder based Attractor (EEND-EDA) is an end-to-end neural model for automatic speaker segmentation and labeling. It achieves the capability to handle flexible number of speakers by estimating the…
