Our new work on speaker diarization: arxiv.org/abs/2208.13085 (1) TS-VAD with cross-speaker transformer achieves a new SOTA DER in VoxConverse. (2) Further EEND-EDA integration for one-step diarization brings down the DER in CALLHOME.

Please retweet, Tsz Kin, a young MT researcher, soon-to-be-PhD needs your help. He is looking for a job in speech/text translation. A job he already had lined-up has been revoked due to the hiring freezes in the industry. Here's his linkedin profile: linkedin.com/in/tsz-kin-lam…

How can we do streaming multi-talker ASR by best combining speech separation and overlap-robust ASR? t-SOT-VA does that and works for real meeting audio with any # of mics, achieving the best published WERs of 13.7%/15.5% for AMI-MDM dev/eval. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2209.04974

SpeechX from our new paper is a single generative model that edits, enhances & creates speech, enabling zero-shot TTS, spoken content editing (while preserving ambience), speaker extraction & speech/noise removal. Demo: aka.ms/speechx Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2308.06873

SpeechX: Neural Codec Language Model as a Versatile Speech Transformer paper page: huggingface.co/papers/2308.06… Recent advancements in generative speech models based on audio-text prompts have enabled remarkable innovations like high-quality zero-shot text-to-speech. However,

Last Friday marked the end of my 7-year journey at Microsoft, filled with rewarding challenges, both in research & production, and incredible colleagues. I'll be starting something new very soon. マイクロソフトを退職しました。まだずっとシアトル界隈にいます。

Hi all, please let me know if you know large-scale speech data that can be used for training our Whisper reproduction (OWSM) model (arxiv.org/abs/2309.13876). We plan to move to OWSM v4.

Want to hear a friend in a noisy café? We designed deep learning-based headphones that let you isolate the speech from a specific person just by *looking* at them for a few seconds. CHI'24 honorable mention award. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.06289 Code: github.com/vb000/LookOnce…

I got an early demo of this when I visited Allen School a couple months ago and the ability to isolate sounds in your environment was pretty great. Nice work, Bandhav Veluri, Malek Itani, Tuochao Chen, Takuya Yoshioka, and Shyam Gollakota!
