On deep speaker embeddings for text-independent speaker recognition [PDF]
We investigate deep neural network performance in the textindependent speaker recognition task. We demonstrate that using angular softmax activation at the last classification layer of a classification neural network instead of a simple softmax activation allows to train a more generalized discriminative speaker embedding extractor.

Sequence-to-Sequence Emotional Voice Conversion With Strength Control
This paper proposes an improved emotional voice conversion (EVC) method with emotional strength and duration controllability. EVC methods without duration mapping generate emotional speech with identical duration to that of the neutral input speech.

Leveraging deep speaker embedding variability factors for verification and diarization
The tasks of speaker verification (SV, determining whether a test utterance has the same speaker as an enrolment utterance) and speaker diarization (SD, determining ‘who spoke when?’) both fall under the umbrella of speaker recognition tasks.

Generalized Score Comparison-Based Learning Objective for Deep Speaker Embedding
In state-of-the-art speaker verification systems, speaker embeddings are trained to be closer to the target speaker prototype, which is either obtained from the other speech samples or constructed with trainable parameters.

Development of Supervised Speaker Diarization System Based on the PyAnnote Audio Processing Library
Diarization is an important task when work with audiodata is executed, as it provides a solution to the problem related to the need of dividing one analyzed call recording into several speech recordings, each of which belongs to one speaker.

SPEAKER VGG CCT: Cross-corpus Speech Emotion Recognition with Speaker Embedding and Vision Transformers [PDF]
In recent years, Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) has been investigated mainly transforming the speech signal into spectrograms that are then classified using Convolutional Neural Networks pretrained on generic images and fine tuned with spectrograms. In

Zero-Shot Voice Cloning Text-to-Speech for Dysphonia Disorder Speakers
Deep neural network based text-to-speech (TTS) technology has brought advances in speech synthesis approaching the quality of human speech sounds. Zero-shot voice cloning TTS is a system that accepts input in the form of text and a few seconds of a ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Effective Emotion Transplantation in an End-to-End Text-to-Speech System
In this paper, we propose an effective technique to transplant a source speaker’s emotional expression to a new target speaker’s voice within an end-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) framework.

Attitudes of cancer patients toward ctDNA‐based liquid biopsy for follow‐up
This mixed‐methods study explored cancer patients' experiences, knowledge, and preferences regarding ctDNA‐based liquid biopsy for follow‐up. Awareness of ctDNA was low and recall of previous liquid biopsy was imperfect, yet acceptance was high.
