Researchers have developed a new framework called PS4 for training target speaker extraction (TSE) models on real conversational audio. This approach addresses the lack of large-scale, clean training data by constructing a corpus of over 71,000 samples from existing datasets. The PS4 framework utilizes a proxy-supervised joint training strategy with four objectives, including automatic speech recognition, speaker similarity, voice activity detection, and perceptual audio quality, to fine-tune a BSRNN-based model. This method achieved a second-place ranking on the REAL-T challenge leaderboard, demonstrating strong performance in speaker similarity and timing. AI
IMPACT Improves the ability to isolate specific voices in noisy, real-world audio, potentially aiding transcription and analysis tools.
