• Abstract: Speech applications dealing with conversations require not only recognizing the spoken words but also determining who spoke when. The task of assigning words to speakers is typically addressed by merging the outputs of two separate systems, namely, an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system and a speaker diarization (SD) system. In practical settings, speaker diarization systems can experience significant degradation in performance due to a variety of factors, including uniform segmentation with a high temporal resolution, inaccurate word timestamps, incorrect clustering and estimation of speaker numbers, as well as background noise. Therefore, it is important to automatically detect errors and make corrections if possible. We used a second-pass speaker tagging correction system based on a non-autoregressive language model to correct mistakes in words placed at the borders of sentences spoken by different speakers. We first show that the employed error correction approach leads to reductions in word diarization error rate (WDER) on two datasets: TAL and test set of Fisher. Additionally, we evaluated our system in the Post-ASR Speaker Tagging Correction challenge and observed significant improvements in cpWER compared to baseline methods.

  Most languages lack sufficient paired speech and text data to effectively train automatic speech recognition systems. We propose the removal of reliance on a phoneme lexicon to develop unsupervised ASR systems. We experimentally demonstrate that an unsupervised speech recognizer can emerge from joint speech-to-speech and text-to-text masked token-infilling.

  Speaker diarization (SD) is typically used with an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system to ascribe speaker labels to recognized words. This approach can lead to speaker errors especially around speaker turns and regions of speaker overlap. We propose a novel second-pass speaker error correction system using lexical information.

• In search of strong embedding extractors for speaker diarisation [49.7017388682077]
  We tackle two key problems when adopting EEs for speaker diarisation. First, the evaluation is not straightforward because the features required for better performance differ between speaker verification and diarisation. We show that better performance on widely adopted speaker verification evaluation protocols does not lead to better diarisation performance. We propose two data augmentation techniques to alleviate the second problem, making embedding extractors aware of overlapped speech or speaker change input.

• Spectro-Temporal Deep Features for Disordered Speech Assessment and Recognition [65.25325641528701]
  Motivated by the spectro-temporal level differences between disordered and normal speech that systematically manifest in articulatory imprecision, decreased volume and clarity, slower speaking rates and increased dysfluencies, novel spectro-temporal subspace basis embedding deep features derived by SVD decomposition of speech spectrum are proposed. Experiments conducted on the UASpeech corpus suggest the proposed spectro-temporal deep feature adapted systems consistently outperformed baseline i- adaptation by up to 263% absolute (8.6% relative) reduction in word error rate (WER) with or without data augmentation.
