The continuous speech separation (CSS) is a task to separate the speech sources from a long, partially overlapped recording, which involves a varying number of speakers. A straightforward extension of conventional utterance-level speech separation to the CSS task is to segment the long recording wit…
This paper describes the Microsoft speaker diarization system for monaural multi-talker recordings in the wild, evaluated at the diarization track of the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge (VoxSRC) 2020. We will first explain our system design to address issues in handling real multi-talker reco…
Modules in all existing speech separation networks can be categorized into single-input-multi-output (SIMO) modules and single-input-single-output (SISO) modules. SIMO modules generate more outputs than input, and SISO modules keep the numbers of input and output the same. While the majority of sepa…
This paper describes a dataset and protocols for evaluating continuous speech separation algorithms. Most prior speech separation studies use pre-segmented audio signals, which are typically generated by mixing speech utterances on computers so that they fully overlap. Also, the separation algorithm…
Deep CNN networks have shown great success in various tasks for text-independent speaker recognition. In this paper, we explore two approaches for modeling long temporal contexts to improve the performance of the ResNet networks. The first approach is simply integrating the utterance-level mean and…
We present a conceptually plausible approach for text-independent speaker verification (TISV) which treats speech recordings as a collection of segments providing incremental evidence. This approach, called corrective learning, gradually improves an initial prediction of speaker identity based on in…
