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-…
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…
Multi-Channel Speech Enhancement for Cocktail Party Speech Emotion Recognition
Youjun Chen, Guinan Li, Mengzhe Geng +9
This paper highlights the critical importance of multi-channel speech enhancement (MCSE) for speech emotion recognition (ER) in cocktail party scenarios. A multi-channel speech der…
Towards Effective and Efficient Non-autoregressive decoders for Conformer and LLM-based ASR using Block-based Attention Mask
Tianzi Wang, Xurong Xie, Zengrui Jin +9
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems often rely on autoregressive (AR) Transformer decoder architectures, which limit efficient inference parallelization due to their sequent…
CLEAR: Continuous Latent Autoregressive Modeling for High-quality and Low-latency Speech Synthesis
Chun Yat Wu, Jiajun Deng, Guinan Li +2
Autoregressive (AR) language models have emerged as powerful solutions for zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis, capable of generating natural speech from a few seconds of audi…
Exploring Cross-Utterance Speech Contexts for Conformer-Transducer Speech Recognition Systems
Mingyu Cui, Mengzhe Geng, Jiajun Deng +8
This paper investigates four types of cross-utterance speech contexts modeling approaches for streaming and non-streaming Conformer-Transformer (C-T) ASR systems: i) input audio fe…
