UBM transfers bias mitigation from upstream to downstream tasks efficiently.
Online social platforms have been the battlefield of users with different emotions and attitudes toward each other in recent years.

A new active learning method for skewed data sets.
This paper presents sampling-based speech parameter generation using moment-matching networks for Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based speech synthesis. Although people never produce exactly the same speech even if we try to express the same linguistic and para-linguistic information, typical statistical speech synthesis pr…
In this paper we demonstrate end-to-end continuous speech recognition (CSR) using electroencephalography (EEG) signals with no speech signal as input. An attention model based automatic speech recognition (ASR) and connectionist temporal classification (CTC) based ASR systems were implemented for performing recognition…
Detects AI-synthesized speech using cepstral and bispectral analysis.
The performance of automatic speech recognition systems(ASR) degrades in the presence of noisy speech. This paper demonstrates that using electroencephalography (EEG) can help automatic speech recognition systems overcome performance loss in the presence of noise. The paper also shows that distillation training of auto…
This paper presents a statistical method of single-channel speech enhancement that uses a variational autoencoder (VAE) as a prior distribution on clean speech. A standard approach to speech enhancement is to train a deep neural network (DNN) to take noisy speech as input and output clean speech. Although this supervis…
AudioPaLM combines text and speech models to improve speech processing and translation.
WaveCycleGAN has recently been proposed to bridge the gap between natural and synthesized speech waveforms in statistical parametric speech synthesis and provides fast inference with a moving average model rather than an autoregressive model and high-quality speech synthesis with the adversarial training. However, the …
Improved speech enhancement using diffusion models with MSE loss.
In this paper we demonstrate continuous noisy speech recognition using connectionist temporal classification (CTC) model on limited Chinese vocabulary using electroencephalography (EEG) features with no speech signal as input and we further demonstrate single CTC model based continuous noisy speech recognition on limit…
Continuous speech recognition from brain activity without vocalization.
AV-CPL uses continuous pseudo-labels for AVSR combining labeled and unlabeled data.
Speech-driven visual speech synthesis involves mapping features extracted from acoustic speech to the corresponding lip animation controls for a face model. This mapping can take many forms, but a powerful approach is to use deep neural networks (DNNs). However, a limitation is the lack of synchronized audio, video, an…
Enhanced text-to-speech synthesizes expressive speech from a single example.
Diffusion models enhance speech without supervision.
In this paper we demonstrate spoken speech enhancement using electroencephalography (EEG) signals using a generative adversarial network (GAN) based model, gated recurrent unit (GRU) regression based model, temporal convolutional network (TCN) regression model and finally using a mixed TCN GRU regression model. We comp…

Survey on DNNs for speech processing, focusing on limited data challenges.
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are of vital importance nowadays in commonplace tasks such as speech-to-text processing and language translation. This created the need for an ASR system that can operate in realistic crowded environments. Thus, speech enhancement is a valuable building block in ASR systems an…
We present RUSLAN -- a new open Russian spoken language corpus for the text-to-speech task. RUSLAN contains 22200 audio samples with text annotations -- more than 31 hours of high-quality speech of one person -- being the largest annotated Russian corpus in terms of speech duration for a single speaker. We trained an e…
