Audio comprehension—including speech, non-speech sounds, and music—is essential for achieving human-level intelligence. Consequently, AI agents must demonstrate holistic audio understanding to qualify as generally intelligent. However, evaluating auditory intelligence comprehensively remains challen
Keyword spotting systems often struggle to generalize to a diverse population with various accents and age groups. To address this challenge, we propose a novel approach that integrates speaker information into keyword spotting using Feature-wise Linear Modulation (FiLM), a recent method that allows…
End-to-end diarization presents an attractive alternative to standard cascaded diarization systems because a single system can handle all aspects of the task at once. Many flavors of end-to-end models have been proposed but all of them require (so far non-existing) large amounts of annotated data fo…
In this work, we present a language identification (LID) system based on embeddings. In our case, an embedding is a fixed-length vector (similar to i-vector) that represents the whole utterance, but unlike i-vector it is designed to contain mostly information relevant to the target task (LID). In or…
