• Title: Voice Separation with an Unknown Number of Multiple Speakers
• Authors: Eliya Nachmani, Yossi Adi, Lior Wolf
• Abstract summary: We present a new method for separating a mixed audio sequence, in which multiple voices speak simultaneously. The new method employs gated neural networks that are trained to separate the voices at multiple processing steps, while maintaining the speaker in each output channel fixed.

• Abstract: We present a new method for separating a mixed audio sequence, in which multiple voices speak simultaneously. The new method employs gated neural networks that are trained to separate the voices at multiple processing steps, while maintaining the speaker in each output channel fixed. A different model is trained for every number of possible speakers, and the model with the largest number of speakers is employed to select the actual number of speakers in a given sample. Our method greatly outperforms the current state of the art, which, as we show, is not competitive for more than two speakers.

  We tackle single-channel multi-speaker conversational ST with an end-to-end and multi-task training model. Speaker-Turn Aware Conversational Speech Translation combines automatic speech recognition, speech translation and speaker turn detection. We show that our model outperforms the reference systems on the multi-speaker condition, while attaining comparable performance on the single-speaker condition.

  We propose a new method based on feature disentanglement to tackle many to many voice conversion.

  We propose a semi-supervised learning approach for multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) A multi-speaker TTS model can learn from the untranscribed audio via the proposed encoder-decoder framework with discrete speech representation. We found the model can benefit from the proposed semi-supervised learning approach even when part of the unpaired speech data is noisy.
