Accent conversion has rapidly progressed alongside growing interest in improving global cross-cultural communication. This survey presents an overview of the evolution of accent conversion methodologi…
Accented automatic speech recognition (ASR) often degrades due to the limited availability of accented training data. Prior work has explored accent modeling in low-resource settings, but existing app…
We introduce a generalized family of $\left( 2\cdot \left\lfloor \frac{k}{2} \right\rfloor-1, 2\cdot \left\lceil \frac{k}{2} \right\rceil \cdot W_{1} +\max\left\{0,2\cdot\left(\left\lceil\frac{k}{2}\r…
Standard text-to-speech (TTS) evaluation measures intelligibility (WER, CER) and overall naturalness (MOS, UTMOS) but does not quantify accent. A synthesiser may score well on all four yet sound non-n…
We maintain a $(1+\varepsilon)$-spanner over the disk intersection graph of a dynamic set of disks. We restrict all disks to have their diameter in $[4,\Psi]$ for some fixed and known $\Psi$. The resu…
To establish empathy with machines, it is essential to fully understand human emotional changes. However, research in multimodal emotion recognition often overlooks one problem: individual expressive …
When multiple people share a single voice assistant, the system conflates their histories: one resident's preferences can leak into another's responses, eroding utility and trust. We call this failure…
Temporal graphs have edge sets that change over discrete time steps. Such graphs are temporally connected (TC) if all pairs of vertices can reach each other using paths that traverse the edges in a ti…
In relative entropy coding, a sender aims to design a stochastic code such that, on input $X \sim P_X$, the receiver can generate a sample $Y \sim P_{Y \mid X}$. It is a standard result that (1) this …
Audio carries richer information than text, including emotion, speaker traits, and environmental context, while also enabling lower-latency processing compared to speech-to-text pipelines. However, re…
Speaker verification is a task of confirming an individual's identity through the analysis of their voice. Whispered speech differs from phonated speech in acoustic characteristics, which degrades the…
Voiceprints are widely used for authentication; however, they are easily captured in public settings and cannot be revoked once leaked. Existing anonymization systems operate inside recording devices,…
We present a search for small Kochen-Specker (KS) sets in dimension 3, specifically targeting extensions of the 13-ray Yu-Oh set, which has been proven to be the minimal witness to state-independent c…
While generative models have set new benchmarks for Target Speaker Extraction (TSE), their inherent reliance on global context precludes deployment in real-time applications. Direct adaptation to stre…
High-fidelity character voice synthesis is a cornerstone of immersive multimedia applications, particularly for interacting with anime avatars and digital humans. However, existing systems struggle to…
Text-based speech editing aims to modify specific segments while preserving speaker identity and acoustic context. Existing methods rely on task-specific training, which incurs high data costs and str…
The ambulance service is the main transport for diseased or injured people which suffers the same acceleration forces as regular vehicles. These accelerations, caused by the movement of the vehicle, i…
Video-to-Speech (VTS) generation aims to synthesize speech from a silent video without auditory signals. However, existing VTS methods disregard the hierarchical nature of speech, which spans coarse s…
Mobility in urban and interurban areas, mainly by cars, is a day-to-day activity of many people. However, some of its main drawbacks are traffic jams and accidents. Newly made vehicles have pre-instal…
Private set intersection (PSI) enables a sender holding a set $Q$ of size $m$ and a receiver holding a set $W$ of size $n$ to securely compute the intersection $Q \cap W$. Fuzzy PSI (FPSI) is a PSI va…
