StarTSE: Towards Streaming Target Speaker Extraction via Chunk-wise Interleaved Splicing of Autoregressive Language Model
Shuhai Peng, Hui Lu, Jinjiang Liu +8
While generative models have set new benchmarks for Target Speaker Extraction (TSE), their inherent reliance on global context precludes deployment in real-time applications. Direc…
Confidence Score Guided Incremental and Speaker Adaptive Pseudo-Labeling for Semi-Supervised Elderly Speech Recognition
Chengxi Deng, Xurong Xie, Shujie Hu +7
This paper proposes a novel confidence score guided incremental and speaker adaptive pseudo-labeling approach for semi-supervised elderly speech recognition. It facilitates higher-…
Decoding while Adapting: Zero-Shot Online Speaker Adaptation via Audio-Textual Prompts for Elderly Speech Recognition
Chengxi Deng, Xurong Xie, Shujie Hu +7
This paper proposes a novel cross-utterance audio-textual prompts based speaker adaptation approach for elderly speech recognition. It enables zero-shot, real-time adaptation to un…
Explainable and Trustworthy Speech Emotion Recognition Using Confidence Score and Reinforcement Learning Rectified Speech Emotion Descriptors
Youjun Chen, Xurong Xie, Mengzhe Geng +9
Explainable and trustworthy speech emotion recognition (SER) remains a challenging task to date, largely due to the scarcity of SER data with reliable speech emotion descriptor (SE…
Towards Data-free and Training-free Compression for Speech Foundation Models Using Parameter Clustering
Haoning Xu, Zhaoqing Li, Huimeng Wang +4
This paper presents a novel data-free and training-free compression approach for speech foundation models using channelwise clustering via k-means. More fine-grained, mixed sparsit…
UNISON: A Unified Sound Generation and Editing Framework via Deep LLM Fusion
Zhaoqing Li, Haoning Xu, Jingran Su +9
We present UNISON, a latent diffusion framework that unifies speech generation, sound generation, and audio editing within a single model. A single model handles text-to-audio, tex…
