In this paper, we present AISHELL-4, a sizable real-recorded Mandarin speech dataset collected by 8-channel circular microphone array for speech processing in conference scenario. The dataset consists of 211 recorded meeting sessions, each containing 4 to 8 speakers, with a total length of 120 hours. This dataset aims to bridge the advanced research on multi-speaker processing and the practical application scenario in three aspects. With real recorded meetings, AISHELL-4 provides realistic acoustics and rich natural speech characteristics in conversation such as short pause, speech overlap, quick speaker turn, noise, etc. Meanwhile, accurate transcription and speaker voice activity are provided for each meeting in AISHELL-4. This allows the researchers to explore different aspects in meeting processing, ranging from individual tasks such as speech front-end processing, speech recognition and speaker diarization, to multi-modality modeling and joint optimization of relevant tasks. Given most open source dataset for multi-speaker tasks are in English, AISHELL-4 is the only Mandarin dataset for conversation speech, providing additional value for data diversity in speech community. We also release a PyTorch-based training and evaluation framework as baseline system to promote reproducible research in this field.

This paper describes the ByteDance speaker diarization system for the fourth track of the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge 2021 (VoxSRC-21). The VoxSRC-21 provides both the dev set and test set of VoxConverse for use in validation and a standal one test set for evaluation. We first collect the duration and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of all audio and find that the distribution of the VoxConverses test set and the VoxSRC-21s test set is more closer. Our system consists of voice active detection (VAD), speaker embedding extraction, spectral clustering followed by a re-clustering step based on agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) and overlapped speech detection and handling. Finally, we integrate systems with different time scales using DOVER-Lap. Our best system achieves 5.15% of the diarization error rate (DER) on evaluation set, ranking the second at the diarization track of the challenge.
Most speech separation methods, trying to separate all channel sources simultaneously, are still far from having enough general- ization capabilities for real scenarios where the number of input sounds is usually uncertain and even dynamic. In this w ork, we employ ideas from auditory attention with two ears and propose a speaker and direction inferred speech separation network (dubbed SDNet) to solve the cocktail party problem. Specifically, our SDNet first parses out the respective perceptual representations with their speaker and direction characteristics from the mixture of the scene in a sequential manner. Then, the perceptual representations are utilized to attend to each corresponding speech. Our model gener- ates more precise perceptual representations with the help of spatial features and successfully deals with the problem of the unknown number of sources and the selection of outputs. The experiments on standard fully-overlapped speech separation benchmarks, WSJ0- 2mix, WSJ0-3mix, and WSJ0-2&3mix, show the effectiveness, and our method achieves SDR improvements of 25.31 dB, 17.26 dB, and 21.56 dB under anechoic settings. Our codes will be released at https://github.com/aispeech-lab/SDNet.
In recent years, wsj0-2mix has become the reference dataset for single-channel speech separation. Most deep learning-based speech separation models today are benchmarked on it. However, recent studies have shown important performance drops when model s trained on wsj0-2mix are evaluated on other, similar datasets. To address this generalization issue, we created LibriMix, an open-source alternative to wsj0-2mix, and to its noisy extension, WHAM!. Based on LibriSpeech, LibriMix consists of two- or three-speaker mixtures combined with ambient noise samples from WHAM!. Using Conv-TasNet, we achieve competitive performance on all LibriM

In this paper, we propose a multi-channel network for simultaneous speech dereverberation, enhancement and separation (DESNet). To enable gradient propagation and joint optimization, we adopt the attentional selection mechanism of the multi-channel f eatures, which is originally proposed in end-to-end unmixing, fixed-beamforming and extraction (E2E-UFE) structure. Furthermore, the novel deep complex convolutional recurrent network (DCCRN) is used as the structure of the speech unmixing and the neural network based weighted prediction error (WPE) is cascaded beforehand for speech dereverberation. We also introduce the staged SNR strategy and symphonic loss for the training of the network to further improve the final performance. Experiments show that in non-dereverberated case, the proposed DESNet outperforms DCCRN and most state-of-the-art structures in speech enhancement and separation, while in dereverberated scenario, DESNet also shows improvements over the cascaded WPE-DCCRN networks.
The recently proposed self-attentive pooling (SAP) has shown good performance in several speaker recognition systems. In SAP systems, the context vector is trained end-to-end together with the feature extractor, where the role of context vector is to select the most discriminative frames for speaker recognition. However, the SAP underperforms compared to the temporal average pooling (TAP) baseline in some settings, which implies that the attention is not learnt effectively in end-to-end training. To tackle this problem, we introduce strategies for training the attention mechanism in a supervised manner, which learns the context vector using classified samples. With our proposed methods, context vector can be boosted to select the most informative frames. We show that our method outperforms existing methods in various experimental settings including short utterance speaker recognition, and achieves competitive performance over the existing baselines on the VoxCeleb datasets.
