Semi-supervised and Weakly Supervised Training of Speech Recognition Models
Speaker: Imran Sheikh Date and place: December 17, 2020 at 10:30, VISIO-CONFERENCE Abstract: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is now available in the form of cloud services as well as deployable open-source tools. However, poor performance due to mismatch with the domain of end applications still limits their usage; especially with limited amount of labeled/unlabelled in-domain …

Implicit and explicit phase modeling in deep learning-based source separation
Speaker: Manu Pariente Date and place: December 3, 2020 at 10:30, VISIO-CONFERENCE Abstract: Speech enhancement and separation have recently seen great progress thanks to deep learning-based discriminative methods.In particular, time domain methods relying on learned filterbanks achieve state-of-the-art performance by implicitly modeling phase and amplitude. Despite current efforts against those limitations, these methods produce very …

Non-native speech recognition
Speaker: Ismaël Bada Date and place: November 19, 2020 at 10:30, VISIO-CONFERENCE Abstract: We propose a method for lexicon adaptation in order to improve the automatic speech recognition (ASR) of non-native speakers. ASR suffers from a significant drop in performance when it is used to recognize the speech of non-native speakers, since the phonemes of …

Label Propagation-Based Semi-Supervised Learningfor Hate Speech Classification
Speaker: Ashwin Geet D’Sa Date and place: November 12, 2020 at 10:30, VISIO-CONFERENCE Abstract: Research on hate speech classification has received increased attention. In real-life scenarios, a small amount of labeled hate speech data is available to train a reliable classifier. Semi-supervised learning takes advantage ofa small amount of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data. …

MRI of the Vocal Tract and Articulators’ Automatic Delineation
Speaker: Karyna Isaieva Date and place:November 5, 2020 at 10:30, VISIO-CONFERENCE Abstract: MRI is a very popular technology that enables fully non-invasive and non-ionizing investigation of the vocal tract. It has multiple applications including studies of healthy speech as well as some medical applications (pathological speech studies, swallowing, etc.). We acquired a database of 10 …

DNN-based distributed mask estimation for speech enhancement in unconstrained microphone arrays
Speaker: Nicolas Furnon Date and place: October 22, 2020 at 10:30 -A008 + VISIO-CONFERENCE Abstract: Deep neural network (DNN)-based speech enhancement algorithms in microphone arrays have now proven to be efficient solutions to speech understanding and speech recognition in noisy environments. However, in the context of ad-hoc microphone arrays, many challenges remain and raise the …

Regularization of the embedding extractor for robust language identification
Speaker: Raphaël Duroselle Date and place: September 17, 2020 at 10:30 -VISIO-CONFERENCE Abstract: Language identification systems achieve impressive performance in matched conditions, when the training data corresponds to the testing conditions. However, in the presence of an important domain shift, performance drops drastically. The main focus of this work is to address this issue to …

Expressive speech synthesis using deep learning
Speaker: Ajinkya Kulkarni Date and place: September 10, 2020 at 10:30 -VISIO-CONFERENCE Abstract: At present the speaking style of the synthesized speech signal is neutral, as a result of the type of speech data used for training text-to-speech systems. Multi-speaker expressive speech synthesis is still an open problem due to the limited availability of expressive …
