Simultaneous Speech Extraction for Multiple Target Speakers under the Meeting Scenarios

원문 초록

The common target speech separation directly estimate the target source, ignoring the interrelationship between different speakers at each frame. We propose a multiple-target speech separation model (MTSS) to simultaneously extract each speaker's voice from the mixed speech rather than just optimally estimating the target source. Moreover, we propose a speaker diarization (SD) aware MTSS system (SD-MTSS), which consists of a SD module and MTSS module. By exploiting the TSVAD decision and the estimated mask, our SD-MTSS model can extract the speech signal of each speaker concurrently in a conversational recording without additional enrollment audio in advance. Experimental results show that our MTSS model achieves 1.38dB SDR, 1.34dB SI-SDR, and 0.13 PESQ improvements over the baseline on the WSJ0-2mix-extr dataset, respectively. The SD-MTSS system makes 19.2% relative speaker dependent character error rate (CER) reduction on the Alimeeting dataset.
