META-CAT: Speaker-Informed Speech Embeddings via Meta Information Concatenation for Multi-talker ASR
Jinhan Wang, Weiqing Wang, Kunal Dhawan +7
We propose a novel end-to-end multi-talker automatic speech recognition (ASR) framework that enables both multi-speaker (MS) ASR and target-speaker (TS) ASR. Our proposed model is…
Sortformer: A Novel Approach for Permutation-Resolved Speaker Supervision in Speech-to-Text Systems
Taejin Park, Ivan Medennikov, Kunal Dhawan +6
Sortformer is an encoder-based speaker diarization model designed for supervising speaker tagging in speech-to-text models. Instead of relying solely on permutation invariant loss…
Resource-Efficient Adaptation of Speech Foundation Models for Multi-Speaker ASR
Weiqing Wang, Kunal Dhawan, Taejin Park +6
Speech foundation models have achieved state-of-the-art (SoTA) performance across various tasks, such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) in hundreds of languages. However, multi…
NEST: Self-supervised Fast Conformer as All-purpose Seasoning to Speech Processing Tasks
He Huang, Taejin Park, Kunal Dhawan +6
Self-supervised learning has been proved to benefit a wide range of speech processing tasks, such as speech recognition/translation, speaker verification and diarization, etc. Howe…
