• Abstract summary: We propose to solve the speaker attribution problem by using graph-based semi-supervised learning methods. A graph of speech segments is built for each session, on which segments from voice profiles are represented by labeled nodes and segments from test utterances are unlabeled nodes. Speaker attribution then becomes a semi-supervised learning problem on graphs, on which two graph-based methods are applied: label propagation (LP) and graph neural networks (GNNs)

• Abstract: Speaker attribution is required in many real-world applications, such as meeting transcription, where speaker identity is assigned to each utterance according to speaker voice profiles. In this paper, we propose to solve the speaker attribution problem by using graph-based semi-supervised learning methods. A graph of speech segments is built for each session, on which segments from voice profiles are represented by labeled nodes while segments from test utterances are unlabeled nodes. The weight of edges between nodes is evaluated by the similarities between the pretrained speaker embeddings of speech segments. Speaker attribution then becomes a semi-supervised learning problem on graphs, on which two graph-based methods are applied: label propagation (LP) and graph neural networks (GNNs). The proposed approaches are able to utilize the structural information of the graph to improve speaker attribution performance. Experimental results on real meeting data show that the graph based approaches reduce speaker attribution error by up to 68% compared to a baseline speaker identification approach that processes each utterance independently.

  We present a direct speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) model that translates speech from one language to speech in another language without relying on intermediate text generation. We propose to predict the self-supervised discrete representations learned from an unlabeled speech corpus instead. When target text transcripts are available, we design a multitask learning framework with joint speech and text training that enables the model to generate dual mode output (speech and text) simultaneously in the same inference pass.

  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. Experimental results reflect the superiority of the proposed method in learning effective disentangled speech representations.
