• Abstract: Self-supervised visual pretraining has shown significant progress recently. Among those methods, SimCLR greatly advanced the state of the art in self-supervised and semi-supervised learning on ImageNet. The input feature representations for speech and visual tasks are both continuous, so it is natural to consider applying similar objective on speech representation learning. In this paper, we propose Speech SimCLR, a new self-supervised objective for speech representation learning. During training, Speech SimCLR applies augmentation on raw speech and its spectrogram. Its objective is the combination of contrastive loss that maximizes agreement between differently augmented samples in the latent space and reconstruction loss of input representation. The proposed method achieved competitive results on speech emotion recognition and speech recognition.

  In audio-visual target speech extraction tasks, the audio modality tends to dominate, potentially overshadowing the importance of visual guidance. Our approach partitions the audio-visual target speech extraction task into two stages: speech perception and speech production. We introduce a contrastive semantic matching loss to ensure that the semantic information conveyed by the generated speech aligns with the semantic information conveyed by lip movements.

  We propose a two-stage time-domain visual-contextual speaker extraction network named VCSE.

In the second stage, we refine the pre-extracted target speech with the self-enrolled contextual cues.

  One-shot voice conversion can be effectively achieved by speech representation disentanglement. We employ vector quantization (VQ) for content encoding and introduce mutual information (MI) as the correlation metric during training.

We employ a generative audio-to-video training scheme in which we animate a still image corresponding to a given audio clip and optimize the generated video to be as close as possible to the real video of the speech segment. We achieve state of the art results for emotion recognition and competitive results for speech recognition.
