This study evaluates the effects of some non-learning blind bandwidth extension (BWE) methods on automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems based on x-vector. Recently, a non-linear bandwidth extension (N-BWE) has been proposed as a blind, non-learning, and light-weight BWE approach. Other non-learning BWEs have also...

In the last years, i-vectors followed by cosine or PLDA scoring techniques were the state-of-the-art approach in speaker verification. PLDA requires labeled background data, and there exists a significant performance gap between the two scoring techniques. In this work, we propose to reduce this gap by using an autoenc...

Response obligation detection, which determines whether a dialogue robot has to respond to a detected utterance, is an important function for intelligent dialogue robots. Some studies have tackled this problem; however, they narrow their applicability by impractical assumptions or use of scenario-specific features. Som...

The differences in written text and conversational speech are substantial; previous parsers trained on treebanked text have given very poor results on spontaneous speech. For spoken language, the mismatch in style also extends to prosodic cues, though it is less well understood. This paper re-examines the use of writte...

Given the speech signal, these algorithms extract a sequence of speaker embeddings from short segments and those are averaged to obtain an utterance level speaker representation.

Synthesising spontaneous speech is a difficult task due to disfluencies, high variability and syntactic conventions different from those of written language. Using found data, as opposed to lab-recorded conversations, for speech synthesis adds to these challenges because of overlapping speech and the lack of control ov...

We present a neural text-to-speech system for fine-grained prosody transfer from one speaker to another. Conventional approaches for end-to-end prosody transfer typically use either fixed-dimensional or variable-length prosody embedding via a secondary attention to encode the reference signal. However, when trained on ...

This paper proposes a semi-supervised speech synthesis framework in which prosodic labels of training data are partially annotated.
