Abstract

The conventional normalized subband p-norm (NSPN) algorithm achieves robustness in $\alpha$-stable noise ($1<\alpha \leq 2$) by utilizing low-order error moments. However, its performance degrades significantly under three scenarios: (1) non-Gaussian inputs, (2) $\alpha$-stable noise with $0<\alpha \leq 1$, and (3) sparse system identification. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a fractional-order NSPN algorithm based on the nearest Kronecker product (NKP) decomposition and fractional-order stochastic gradient descent, termed NKP-FoNSPN. Theoretical bounds for the fractional-order parameter $\beta$ are also derived. Notably, when $\beta=1$, the NKP-FoNSPN reduces to a new NKP-NSPN algorithm, while its non-NKP decomposition variant becomes the fractional-order NSPN (FoNSPN) algorithm. Furthermore, a novel transformation-based NKP (TNKP) decomposition technique is designed, which exhibits lower computational complexity than conventional NKP for specific filter structures. The resulting TNKP-based FoNSPN (TNKP-FoNSPN) achieves lower steady-state misadjustment and multiplication cost compared with the NKP-FoNSPN algorithm. Additionally, complete computational complexity analyses are provided. For active noise control (ANC) scenarios, we develop filtered-x variants: NKP-FxFoNSPN and TNKP-FxFoNSPN. From the former, two additional variants are derived: NKP-FxNSPN and FxFoNSPN. Simulations using diverse noise sources (pink, helicopter, gunshot, pile driver, and traction substation noise) demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithms. Finally, we validate their noise reduction performance in a real constructed single-channel duct ANC and a simulated multi-channel ANC systems.

Diarization Error Decomposition Under Pause Annotation Ambiguity

Speaker diarization evaluation is sensitive to ambiguity in pause annotation, which can inflate diarization error rate (DER) or obscure genuine model errors. We show that morphological closing, which has been used for pause-tolerant diarization evaluation, discards segment-level distinctions. Instead, we propose an exact, overlap-aware decomposition of standard DER into a pause-attributable component, consisting of errors compatible with pause filling, and a residual core component that can serve as a proxy for intrinsic diarization errors. The decomposition leaves DER unchanged, while the pause-attributable and core components vary monotonically with the pause threshold and eventually saturate. Experiments spanning synthetic transformations, annotation mismatch, cross-domain evaluation, and tight-boundary diarization show that the decomposition reveals error sources not apparent from standard DER.

Less can be More: What Aspects of Speech Drive End-of-Turn Detection

In conversational AI, detecting when a speaker has finished talking is crucial for natural turn taking. While recent work incorporates semantics, the relative contribution of different modalities remains unclear. We present a controlled ablation of acoustic, prosodic, and semantic signals for streaming end of turn detection using a lightweight trimodal classifier. Under identical training conditions, the acoustic prosodic combination achieves the best balance of accuracy and latency, achieving utterance F1 of 0.93 with 7.8% false alarms at 400ms median latency. Adding text increases premature detections without improving performance. Feature space analysis confirms that prosodic features have the strongest class separability, while text representations overlap substantially. These findings suggest that turn-taking is primarily conveyed through intonation and silence patterns rather than semantic completeness, enabling faster and more reliable systems without expensive text inference.

Downstream-Task-Aware Unified Source Separation

Task-aware unified source separation (TUSS) enables a single model to handle diverse separation tasks by conditioning on input prompts. However, conventional TUSS does not account for downstream task requirements, such as whether the enhanced speech will be used for human listening or automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this paper, we propose a prompt extension framework for TUSS that incorporates downstream task information into the input prompts and switches the loss function according to the given prompt during training, enabling outputs with different signal characteristics at inference time. Specifically, we introduce an ASR-dedicated prompt paired with a regularized loss function that reduces speech artifacts to improve ASR robustness, while the standard prompt is paired with the conventional SNR loss function. Experiments on the LibriSpeech and JNAS corpora demonstrate that the proposed joint-training scheme enables a single model to improve ASR performance over noisy input across a wide range of SNR conditions by selecting the ASR-dedicated prompt, while maintaining general speech enhancement quality when the standard prompt is used.
