Speech Processing

A CLASSIFICATION-AIDED FRAMEWORK FOR NON-INTRUSIVE SPEECH QUALITY ASSESSMENT

Donald Williamson

Objective metrics, such as the perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) have become standard measures for evaluating speech. These metrics enable efficient and costless evaluations, where ratings are often computed by comparing a degraded speech signal to its underlying clean reference signal. Reference-based metrics, however, cannot be used to evaluate real-world signals that have inaccessible references. This project develops a nonintrusive framework for evaluating the perceptual quality of noisy and enhanced speech.

Speech Landmark Bigrams for Depression Detection from Naturalistic Smartphone Speech

Zhaocheng Huang

Detection of depression from speech has attracted significant research attention in recent years but remains a challenge, particularly for speech from diverse smartphones in natural environments. This paper proposes two sets of novel features based on speech landmark bigrams associated with abrupt speech articulatory events for depression detection from smartphone audio recordings. Combined with techniques adapted from natural language text processing, the proposed features further exploit landmark bigrams by discovering latent articulatory events.

Adversarial Speaker Adaptation

Zhong Meng
Jinyu Li

We propose a novel adversarial speaker adaptation (ASA) scheme, in which adversarial learning is applied to regularize the distribution of deep hidden features in a speaker-dependent (SD) deep neural network (DNN) acoustic model to be close to that of a fixed speaker-independent (SI) DNN acoustic model during adaptation. An additional discriminator network is introduced to distinguish the deep features generated by the SD model from those produced by the SI model.

Attentive Adversarial Learning for Domain-Invariant Training

Zhong Meng
Jinyu Li

Adversarial domain-invariant training (ADIT) proves to be effective in suppressing the effects of domain variability in acoustic modeling and has led to improved performance in automatic speech recognition (ASR). In ADIT, an auxiliary domain classifier takes in equally-weighted deep features from a deep neural network (DNN) acoustic model and is trained to improve their domain-invariance by optimizing an adversarial loss function.

Adversarial Speaker Verification

Zhong Meng
Yong Zhao
Jinyu Li

The use of deep networks to extract embeddings for speaker recognition has proven successfully. However, such embeddings are susceptible to performance degradation due to the mismatches among the training, enrollment, and test conditions. In this work, we propose an adversarial speaker verification (ASV) scheme to learn the condition-invariant deep embedding via adversarial multi-task training. In ASV, a speaker classification network and a condition identification network are jointly optimized to minimize the speaker classification loss and simultaneously mini-maximize the condition loss.

Conditional Teacher-Student Learning

Zhong Meng
Jinyu Li
Yong Zhao

The teacher-student (T/S) learning has been shown to be effective for a variety of problems such as domain adaptation and model compression. One shortcoming of the T/S learning is that a teacher model, not always perfect, sporadically produces wrong guidance in form of posterior probabilities that misleads the student model towards a suboptimal performance.

Role Specific Lattice Rescoring for Speaker Role Recognition from Speech Recognition Outputs

Nikolaos Flemotomos
Panayiotis Georgiou

The language patterns followed by different speakers who play specific roles in conversational interactions provide valuable cues for the task of Speaker Role Recognition (SRR). Given the speech signal, existing algorithms typically try to find such patterns in the output of an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system. In this work we propose an alternative way of revealing role-specific linguistic characteristics, by making use of role-specific ASR outputs, which are built by suitably rescoring the lattice produced after a first pass of ASR decoding.

Retrieving Speech Samples with Similar Emotional Content Using a Triplet Loss Function

John Harvill
Mohammed Abdelwahab

The ability to identify speech with similar emotional content is valuable to many applications, including speech retrieval, surveillance, and emotional speech synthesis. While current formulations in speech emotion recognition based on classification or regression are not appropriate for this task, solutions based on preference learning offer appealing approaches for this task. This paper aims to find speech samples that are emotionally similar to an anchor speech sample provided as a query. This novel formulation opens interesting research questions.

SPEAKER AGNOSTIC FOREGROUND SPEECH DETECTION FROM AUDIO RECORDINGS 
IN WORKPLACE SETTINGS FROM WEARABLE RECORDERS


Amrutha Nadarajan

Audio-signal acquisition as part of wearable sensing adds an important dimension for applications such as understanding human behaviors. As part of a large study on work place behaviors, we collected audio data from individual hospital staff using custom wearable recorders. The audio features collected were limited to preserve privacy of the interactions in the hospital. A first step towards audio processing is to identify the foreground speech of the person wearing the audio badge.
