Navigating Speech Enhancement for Real-Time MRI: A Systematic Assessment of Signal Quality, Source Preservation, and Downstream Tasks
Huang-Cheng Chou, Sean Foley, Haley Hsu +10
Audio recorded during real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) is heavily contaminated by scanner noise, but it remains unclear whether general-purpose speech enhancement impro…
AMECxSV: Adaptive Metadata-Driven Embedding-Fusion Calibration for X-Lingual Speaker Verification
Xin Wei, Shi He, Yihe Yuan +3
In X-lingual automatic speaker verification (ASV), fixed front-end scores vary in reliability with language match, duration, and score source. We propose AMECxSV, an adaptive metad…
Can Conversational Temporal Dynamics Improve Depression Detection in Dyads? A Preliminary Investigation in Multi-Modality Perspectives
Hanie Kang, Huang-Cheng Chou, Sudarsana Reddy Kadiri +1
Automatic depression detection from clinical interviews typically models the semantic content and acoustic characteristics of participant speech. However, the interactional timing…
Layer-wise Cross-Lingual Depression Detection from Speech: Analysis with Contrastive Alignment
Anisha Pattanayak, Hanie Kang, Huang-Cheng Chou +2
Significant disparities exist in the diagnosis and clinical presentation of depression across different linguistic populations. Speech-based depression detection performs well mono…
Speaker-Aware Temporal Aggregation Strategies on Segment Representations for Depression Detection in Dyadic Interaction: A Benchmark Study
Anisha Pattanayak, Huang-Cheng Chou, Shrikanth Narayanan +1
Speech-based depression detection compresses features from short audio segments into one speaker-level decision, a step called temporal aggregation rarely studied on its own. Most…
Speaker Identity in Non-Verbal Vocalizations: Conditional Distillation and Mixture of Experts Approach
Tzu-Chieh Wei, Yi-Cheng Lin, Huang-Cheng Chou +4
As expressive text-to-speech (TTS) and voice conversion (VC) systems increasingly generate non-verbal vocalizations (NVVs) to enhance naturalness, reliable speaker verification (SV…
