Depression is a common mental disorder worldwide which causes a range of serious outcomes. The diagnosis of depression relies on patient-reported scales and psychiatrist interview which may lead to subjective bias. In recent years, more and more researchers are devoted to depression recognition in speech , which may be an effective and objective indicator. This study proposes a new speech segment fusion method based on decision tree to improve the depression recognition accuracy and conducts a validation on a sample of 52 subjects (23 depressed patients and 29 healthy controls). The recognition accuracy are 75.8% and 68.5% for male and female respectively on gender-dependent models. It can be concluded from the data that the proposed decision tree model can improve the depression classification performance.

Recently Transformer and Convolution neural network (CNN) based models have shown promising results in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), outperforming Recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Transformer models are good at capturing content-based global i
nteractions, while CNNs exploit local features effectively. In this work, we achieve the best of both worlds by studying how to combine convolution neural networks and transformers to model both local and global dependencies of an audio sequence in a parameter-efficient way. To this regard, we propose the convolution-augmented transformer for speech recognition, named Conformer. Conformer significantly outperforms the previous Transformer and CNN based models achieving state-of-the-art accuracies. On the widely used LibriSpeech benchmark, our model achieves WER of 2.1%/4.3% without using a language model and 1.9%/3.9% with an external language model on test/testother. We also observe competitive performance of 2.7%/6.3% with a small model of only 10M parameters.
This paper introduces scattering transform for speech emotion recognition (SER). Scattering transform generates feature representations which remain stable to deformations and shifting in time and frequency without much loss of information. In speech
, the emotion cues are spread across time and localised in frequency. The time and frequency invariance characteristic of scattering coefficients provides a representation robust against emotion irrelevant variations e.g., different speakers, language, gender etc. while preserving the variations caused by emotion cues. Hence, such a representation captures the emotion information more efficiently from speech. We perform experiments to compare scattering coefficients with standard mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) over different databases. It is observed that frequency scattering performs better than time-domain scattering and MFCCs. We also investigate layer-wise scattering coefficients to analyse the importance of time shift and deformation stable scalogram and modulation spectrum coefficients for SER. We observe that layer-wise coefficients taken independently also perform better than MFCCs.
Multi-channel inputs offer several advantages over single-channel, to improve the robustness of on-device speech recognition systems. Recent work on multi-channel transformer, has proposed a way to incorporate such inputs into end-to-end ASR for impr
oved accuracy. However, this approach is characterized by a high computational complexity, which prevents it from being deployed in on-device systems. In this paper, we present a novel speech recognition model, Multi-Channel Transformer Transducer (MCTT), which features end-to-end multi-channel training, low computation cost, and low latency so that it is suitable for streaming decoding in on-device speech recognition. In a far-field in-house dataset, our MCTT outperforms stagewise multi-channel models with transformer-transducer up to 6.01% relative WER improvement (WERR). In addition, MCTT outperforms the multi-channel transformer up to 11.62% WERR, and is 15.8 times faster in terms of inference speed. We further show that we can improve the computational cost of MCTT by constraining the future and previous context in attention computations.
Adversarial examples are inputs to machine learning models designed by an adversary to cause an incorrect output. So far, adversarial examples have been studied most extensively in the image domain. In this domain, adversarial examples can be constru
cted by imperceptibly modifying images to cause misclassification, and are practical in the physical world. In contrast, current targeted adversarial examples applied to speech recognition systems have neither of these properties: humans can easily identify the adversarial perturbations, and they are not effective when played over-the-air. This paper makes advances on both of these fronts. First, we develop effectively imperceptible audio adversarial examples (verified through a human study) by leveraging the psychoacoustic principle of auditory masking, while retaining 100% targeted success rate on arbitrary full-sentence targets. Next, we make progress towards physical-world over-the-air audio adversarial examples by constructing perturbations which remain effective even after applying realistic simulated environmental distortions.
Despite significant efforts over the last few years to build a robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for different acoustic settings, the performance of the current state-of-the-art technologies significantly degrades in noisy reverberant
environments. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been successfully used to achieve substantial improvements in many speech processing applications including distant speech recognition (DSR). However, standard CNN architectures were not efficient in capturing long-term speech dynamics, which are essential in the design of a robust DSR system. In the present study, we address this issue by investigating variants of large receptive field CNNs (LRF-CNNs) which include deeply recursive networks, dilated convolutional neural networks, and stacked hourglass networks. To compare the efficacy of the aforementioned architectures with the standard CNN for Wall Street Journal (WSJ) corpus, we use a hybrid DNN-HMM based speech recognition system. We extend the study to evaluate the system performances for distant speech simulated using realistic room impulse responses (RIRs). Our experiments show that with fixed number of parameters across all architectures, the large receptive field networks show consistent improvements over the standard CNNs for distant speech. Amongst the explored LRF-CNNs, stacked hourglass network has shown improvements with a 8.9% relative reduction in word error rate (WER) and 10.7% relative improvement in frame accuracy compared to the standard CNNs for distant simulated speech signals.
