  • Publication number: 20200335119
    Abstract: Embodiments are associated with determination of a first plurality of multi-dimensional vectors, each of the first plurality of multi-dimensional vectors representing speech of a target speaker, determination of a multi-dimensional vector representing a speech signal of two or more speakers, determination of a weighted vector representing speech of the target speaker based on the first plurality of multi-dimensional vectors and on similarities between the multi-dimensional vector and each of the first plurality of multi-dimensional vectors, and extraction of speech of the target speaker from the speech signal based on the weighted vector and the speech signal.

  • Patent number: 10812921
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving multiple channels of audio from three or more microphones detecting speech from a meeting of multiple users, localizing speech sources to determine an approximate direction of arrival of speech from a user, using a speech unmixing model to select two channels corresponding to a primary and a secondary microphone, and sending the two selected channels to a meeting server for generation of a speaker attributed meeting transcript.

  • Publication number: 20200322722
    Abstract: A system and method include reception of a first plurality of audio signals, generation of a second plurality of beamformed audio signals based on the first plurality of audio signals, each of the second plurality of beamformed audio signals associated with a respective one of a second plurality of beamformer directions, generation of a first TF mask for a first output channel based on the first plurality of audio signals, determination of a first beamformer direction associated with a first target sound source based on the first TF mask, generation of first features based on the first beamformer direction and the first plurality of audio signals, determination of a second TF mask based on the first features, and application of the second TF mask to one of the second plurality of beamformed audio signals associated with the first beamformer direction.

  • Patent number: 10743107
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving audio signals representative of speech via multiple audio channels transmitted from corresponding multiple distributed devices, designating one of the audio channels as a reference channel, and for each of the remaining audio channels, determine a difference in time from the reference channel, and correcting each remaining audio channel by compensating for the corresponding difference in time from the reference channel.
