Hi all, We want to announce the new Interspeech satellite workshop called SynData4GenAI (Synthetic Data's Transformative Role in Foundational Speech Models). Please check the details! syndata4genai.org INTERSPEECH 2025

👀

Is it only my impression or is the quality (last three years) of Interspeech reviews (on average) been much worse than other conferences ? Maybe I am unlucky but every year I get crazy stuff which seldom happens elsewhere. Is the reviewers pool so much different from ICASSP ?

This is a very cool work on speech separation in real world settings (AMI meeting). It is robust because it is weakly supervised (diarization labels only) and thus can be trained on real world data, unlike most neural methods which have to rely on synthetic data.

Hi all, This is the third call for papers about the SynData4GenAI workshop. Good news! While the submission data was originally due on June 18th, we'll extend it to June 24th. Please submit your papers at syndata4genai.org We look forward to your submissions!

If you are interested in generalizable speech enhancement that can tackle "speech-in-the-wild" data, different sampling rates and is able to restore audio from different distortions check this out. We have a new challenge at NeurIPS 2024. Website: urgent-challenge.github.io/urgent2024/tim…

I'm excited to announce WAVLab | @CarnegieMellon's XEUS - an SSL speech encoder that covers over 4000+ languages! XEUS is trained on over 1 million hours of speech. It outperforms both MMS 1B and w2v-BERT v2 2.0 on many tasks. We're releasing the code, checkpoints, and our 4000+ lang. data! 🧵

We release a detailed paper, model weights (model and codec) and streaming inference for Moshi! Beyond the model itself, we believe our findings will be useful to audio language models. "Inner Monologue" for the win!

⭐⭐ Call for task proposals! CHiME 9! CHiME Challenge Come and share your ideas about distant microphone speech processing with us! Task proposals deadline October 25. chimechallenge.org/current/cfp

Hi all, We have one month before the deadline! Please prepare the submission to our special issue "Multi-Speaker, Multi-Microphone, and Multi-Modal Distant Speech Recognition" at Computer Speech & Language. sciencedirect.com/special-issue/…

If you are interested in generalizable speech enhancement & restoration consider joining the second edition of the URGENT challenge which will be featured at Interspeech 2025. It will start this Friday !

🗣️ Tomorrow I will be presenting a 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼 𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. NeurIPS: Saturday, Dec 14, 4:15 pm at West Meeting Room 114, 115 Hope to see you there! Also feel free to try the Demo for yourself: 🔗 github.com/sp-uhh/gen-se-…

If you are still around in Vancouver for Neurips, tomorrow we will have the URGENT challenge workshop from 1.30 pm. Come by if you are interested in generalizable speech enhancement (also wind will be up to 70km/h tomorrow and is cozy inside 😉) Lineup: neurips.cc/virtual/2024/c…
