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…
Speaker Role and Language Diarization for Analyzing Multilingual Interviews for Language Proficiency of Older Adults
Anfeng Xu, Tiantian Feng, Kevin Huang +8
Automatic language proficiency assessment in the context of multilingual interview-based settings remains underexplored. In this work, we develop Whisper-based speaker-role and lan…
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…
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…
Cross-Dataset, Age, and Gender Generalization: A Comprehensive Analysis of Fine-Tuning Strategies for Low-Resource Children's ASR
Abhijit Sinha, Hemant Kumar Kathania, Sudarsana Reddy Kadiri +1
The challenge associated with recognizing dysarthric speech primarily arises from pronounced acoustic variability attributed to impaired articulatory precision. Past research has d…
