Attention-weighted Centered Kernel Alignment for Knowledge Distillation in Large Audio-Language Models Applied to Speech Emotion Recognition
Qingran Yang, Botao Zhao, Zuheng Kang +7
The emergence of Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) has advanced Speech Emotion Recognition (SER), but their size limits deployment in resource-constrained environments. While Kno…
EMO-RL: Emotion-Rule-Based Reinforcement Learning Enhanced Audio-Language Model for Generalized Speech Emotion Recognition
Pengcheng Li, Botao Zhao, Zuheng Kang +4
Although Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) have exhibited outstanding performance in auditory understanding, their performance in affective computing scenarios, particularly in e…
Generalized Audio Deepfake Detection Using Frame-level Latent Information Entropy
Botao Zhao, Zuheng Kang, Yayun He +4
Generalizability, the capacity of a robust model to perform effectively on unseen data, is crucial for audio deepfake detection due to the rapid evolution of text-to-speech (TTS) a…
Retrieval-Augmented Audio Deepfake Detection
Zuheng Kang, Yayun He, Botao Zhao +4
With recent advances in speech synthesis including text-to-speech (TTS) and voice conversion (VC) systems enabling the generation of ultra-realistic audio deepfakes, there is growi…
VoiceExtender: Short-utterance Text-independent Speaker Verification with Guided Diffusion Model
Yayun He, Zuheng Kang, Jianzong Wang +2
Speaker verification (SV) performance deteriorates as utterances become shorter. To this end, we propose a new architecture called VoiceExtender which provides a promising solution…
SVVAD: Personal Voice Activity Detection for Speaker Verification
Zuheng Kang, Jianzong Wang, Junqing Peng +1
Voice activity detection (VAD) improves the performance of speaker verification (SV) by preserving speech segments and attenuating the effects of non-speech. However, this scheme i…
Feature-Rich Audio Model Inversion for Data-Free Knowledge Distillation Towards General Sound Classification
Zuheng Kang, Yayun He, Jianzong Wang +3
Data-Free Knowledge Distillation (DFKD) has recently attracted growing attention in the academic community, especially with major breakthroughs in computer vision. Despite promisin…
SVLDL: Improved Speaker Age Estimation Using Selective Variance Label Distribution Learning
Zuheng Kang, Jianzong Wang, Junqing Peng +1
Estimating age from a single speech is a classic and challenging topic. Although Label Distribution Learning (LDL) can represent adjacent indistinguishable ages well, the uncertain…
SpeechEQ: Speech Emotion Recognition based on Multi-scale Unified Datasets and Multitask Learning
Zuheng Kang, Junqing Peng, Jianzong Wang +1
Speech emotion recognition (SER) has many challenges, but one of the main challenges is that each framework does not have a unified standard. In this paper, we propose SpeechEQ, a…
Towards Speaker Age Estimation with Label Distribution Learning
Shijing Si, Jianzong Wang, Junqing Peng +1
Existing methods for speaker age estimation usually treat it as a multi-class classification or a regression problem. However, precise age identification remains a challenge due to…
