Discrete audio tokenizers are fundamental to empowering large language models with native audio processing and generation capabilities. Despite recent progress, existing approaches often rely on pretrained encoders, semantic distillation,…

Recently, a method for synthesizing foreign-accented speech only with native speech data using discrete tokens obtained from self-supervised learning (SSL) models was proposed. Considering limited availability of accented speech data, this…

This paper describes an online algorithm for enhancing monaural noisy speech. Firstly, a novel phase-corrected low-delay gammatone filterbank is derived for signal subband decomposition and resynthesis; the subband signals are then analyzed…

Vocal arousal, the non-linear acoustic features taken on by human and animal vocalizations when highly aroused, has an important communicative function because it signals aversive states such as fear, pain or distress. In this work, we…

Background noise reduces speech intelligibility and quality, making speaker verification (SV) in noisy environments a challenging task. To improve the noise robustness of SV systems, additive noise data augmentation method has been commonly…

In the scenario of the Voice Privacy challenge, anonymization is achieved by converting all utterances from a source speaker to match the same target identity; this identity being randomly selected. In this context, an attacker with maximum…

For people with noise sensitivity, everyday soundscapes can be overwhelming. Existing tools such as active noise cancellation reduce discomfort by suppressing the entire acoustic environment, often at the cost of awareness of surrounding…

Voice anonymization protects speaker privacy by concealing identity while preserving linguistic and paralinguistic content. Self-supervised learning (SSL) representations encode linguistic features but preserve speaker traits. We propose a…

Current state-of-the-art methods for automatic synthetic speech evaluation are based on MOS prediction neural models. Such MOS prediction models include MOSNet and LDNet that use spectral features as input, and SSL-MOS that relies on a…

Zero-shot Text-to-Speech (TTS) voice cloning poses severe privacy risks, demanding the removal of specific speaker identities from trained TTS models. Conventional machine unlearning is insufficient in this context, as zero-shot TTS can…

We consider the problem of making machine translation more robust to character-level variation at the source side, such as typos. Existing methods achieve greater coverage by applying subword models such as byte-pair encoding (BPE) and…

Recent advancement in Generative Adversarial Networks in speech synthesis domain[3],[2] have shown, that it's possible to train GANs [8] in a reliable manner for high quality coherent waveform generation from mel-spectograms. We propose…

In our previous work, we proposed a language-independent speaker anonymization system based on self-supervised learning models. Although the system can anonymize speech data of any language, the anonymization was imperfect, and the speech…

Deep learning voice models are commonly used nowadays, but the safety processing of personal data, such as human identity and speech content, remains suspicious. To prevent malicious user identification, speaker anonymization methods were…

Zero-shot Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis shows great promise for personalized voice customization through voice cloning. However, current methods for achieving zero-shot TTS heavily rely on large model scales and extensive training datasets…

Isolating the desired speaker's voice amidst multiplespeakers in a noisy acoustic context is a challenging task. Per-sonalized speech enhancement (PSE) endeavours to achievethis by leveraging prior knowledge of the speaker's voice.Recent…

We present aTENNuate, a simple deep state-space autoencoder configured for efficient online raw speech enhancement in an end-to-end fashion. The network's performance is primarily evaluated on raw speech denoising, with additional…

The goal of voice anonymization is to modify an audio such that the true identity of its speaker is hidden. Research on this task is typically limited to the same English read speech datasets, thus the efficacy of current methods for other…

Real-time talking avatar generation requires low latency and minute-level temporal stability. Autoregressive (AR) forcing enables streaming inference but suffers from exposure bias, which causes errors to accumulate and become irreversible…

Advances in speech technology now allow unprecedented access to personally identifiable information through speech. To protect such information, the differential privacy field has explored ways to anonymize speech while preserving its…
