Efficient Black-Box Speaker Verification Model Adaptation with Reprogramming and Backend Learning
Jingyu Li, Tan Lee
The development of deep neural networks (DNN) has significantly enhanced the performance of speaker verification (SV) systems in recent years. However, a critical issue that persis…
CoMFLP: Correlation Measure based Fast Search on ASR Layer Pruning
Wei Liu, Zhiyuan Peng, Tan Lee
Transformer-based speech recognition (ASR) model with deep layers exhibited significant performance improvement. However, the model is inefficient for deployment on resource-constr…
Sparsely Shared LoRA on Whisper for Child Speech Recognition
Wei Liu, Ying Qin, Zhiyuan Peng +1
Whisper is a powerful automatic speech recognition (ASR) model. Nevertheless, its zero-shot performance on low-resource speech requires further improvement. Child speech, as a repr…
ContextSpeech: Expressive and Efficient Text-to-Speech for Paragraph Reading
Yujia Xiao, Shaofei Zhang, Xi Wang +5
While state-of-the-art Text-to-Speech systems can generate natural speech of very high quality at sentence level, they still meet great challenges in speech generation for paragrap…
Diffusion-Based Mel-Spectrogram Enhancement for Personalized Speech Synthesis with Found Data
Yusheng Tian, Wei Liu, Tan Lee
Creating synthetic voices with found data is challenging, as real-world recordings often contain various types of audio degradation. One way to address this problem is to pre-enhan…
Leveraging phone-level linguistic-acoustic similarity for utterance-level pronunciation scoring
Wei Liu, Kaiqi Fu, Xiaohai Tian +4
Recent studies on pronunciation scoring have explored the effect of introducing phone embeddings as reference pronunciation, but mostly in an implicit manner, i.e., addition or con…
An ASR-free Fluency Scoring Approach with Self-Supervised Learning
Wei Liu, Kaiqi Fu, Xiaohai Tian +4
A typical fluency scoring system generally relies on an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system to obtain time stamps in input speech for either the subsequent calculation of flu…
