To work on robust methods for direct recognition from the raw waveforms - to achieve robustness against environmental effects. Work should focus on telephony, but further multichannel input is of interest. Funding for 3 years, in the context of the Voicebase Centre for Speech and Language Technologies.
Diarisation is the process of recognising who speaks when, with as little prior knowledge as possible. To this day it is implemented as a multi-stage process. Research should focus on integrating what is now typically 4 stages of processing into an end to end . Funded by UKRI for 3.5 years. Funding details to be announced soon.
