Large-scale self-supervised Pre-Trained Models (PTMs) have shown significant improvements in the speaker verification (SV) task by providing rich feature representations. In this paper, we utilize w2v-BERT 2.0, a model with approximately…

There are several domains that own corresponding widely used feature extractors, such as ResNet, BERT, and GPT-x. These models are usually pre-trained on large amounts of unlabeled data by self-supervision and can be effectively applied to…

In recent years, advancements in the field of speech processing have led to cutting-edge deep learning algorithms with immense potential for real-world applications. The automated identification of stuttered speech is one of such…

The mismatch between close-set training and open-set testing usually leads to significant performance degradation for speaker verification task. For existing loss functions, metric learning-based objectives depend strongly on searching…

Neural speaker embeddings trained using classification objectives have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in multiple applications. Typically, such embeddings are trained on an out-of-domain corpus on a single task e.g., speaker…

Acoustic word embeddings are fixed-dimensional representations of variable-length speech segments. Such embeddings can form the basis for speech search, indexing and discovery systems when conventional speech recognition is not possible. In…

We study the usability of pre-trained weakly supervised audio tagging (AT) models as feature extractors for general audio representations. We mainly analyze the feasibility of transferring those embeddings to other tasks within the speech…

Speech data has rich acoustic and paralinguistic information with important cues for understanding a speaker's tone, emotion, and intent, yet traditional large language models such as BERT do not incorporate this information. There has been…

The Antillean manatee (\emph{Trichechus manatus}) is an endangered herbivorous aquatic mammal whose role as an ecological balancer and umbrella species underscores the importance of its conservation. An innovative approach to monitor…

Mel-filterbanks are fixed, engineered audio features which emulate human perception and have been used through the history of audio understanding up to today. However, their undeniable qualities are counterbalanced by the fundamental…
