There is a growing need for diverse, high-quality stuttered speech data, particularly in the context of Indian languages. This paper introduces Project Boli, a multi-lingual stuttered speech dataset designed to advance scientific understanding and technology development for individuals who stutter,…
The Second Diagnosis of COVID-19 using Acoustics (DiCOVA) Challenge aimed at accelerating the research in acoustics based detection of COVID-19, a topic at the intersection of acoustics, signal processing, machine learning, and healthcare. This paper presents the details of the challenge, which was…
The ability to detect talker changes when listening to conversational speech is fundamental to perception and understanding of multi-talker speech. In this paper, we propose an experimental paradigm to provide insights on the impact of language familiarity on talker change detection. Two multi-talke…
The ability to detect a change in the input is an essential aspect of perception. In speech communication, we use this ability to identify "talker changes" when listening to conversational speech (such as, audio podcasts). In this paper, we propose to improve our understanding about how fast listene…
The detection of overlapping speech segments is of key importance in speech applications involving analysis of multi-party conversations. The detection problem is challenging because overlapping speech segments are typically captured as short speech utterances far-field microphone recordings. In thi…
Estimating the parameters of moving sound sources using only the source signal is of interest in low-power, and contact-less source monitoring applications, such as, industrial robotics and bio-acoustics. The received signal embeds the motion attributes of the source via Doppler effect. In this pape…
