The RoyalFlush Automatic Speech Diarization and Recognition System for In-Car Multi-Channel Automatic Speech Recognition Challenge

This paper presents our system submission for the In-Car Multi-Channel Automatic Speech Recognition (ICMC-ASR) Challenge, which focuses on speaker diarization and speech recognition in complex multi-speaker scenarios. To address these challenges, we develop end-to-end speaker diarization models that notably decrease the diarization error rate (DER) by 49.58\% compared to the official baseline on the development set. For speech recognition, we utilize self-supervised learning representations to train end-to-end ASR models. By integrating these models, we achieve a character error rate (CER) of 16.93\% on the track 1 evaluation set, and a concatenated minimum permutation character error rate (cpCER) of 25.88\% on the track 2 evaluation set.

Large-Scale Learning on Overlapped Speech Detection: New Benchmark and New General System

Overlapped Speech Detection (OSD) is an important part of speech applications involving analysis of multi-party conversations. However, most of existing OSD systems are trained and evaluated on small datasets with limited application domains, which led to the robustness of them lacks benchmark for evaluation and the accuracy of them remains inadequate in realistic acoustic environments. To solve these problem, we conduct a study of large-scale learning (LSL) in OSD tasks and propose a new general OSD system named CF-OSD with LSL based on Conformer network and LSL. In our study, a large-scale test set consisting of 151h labeled speech of different styles, languages and sound-source distances is produced and used as a new benchmark for evaluating the generality of OSD systems. Rigorous comparative experiments are designed and used to evaluate the effectiveness of LSL in OSD tasks and define the OSD model of our general OSD system. The experiment results show that LSL can significantly improve the accuracy and robustness of OSD systems, and the CF-OSD with LSL system significantly outperforms other OSD systems on our proposed benchmark. Moreover, our system has also achieved state-of-the-art performance on existing small dataset benchmarks, reaching 81.6\% and 53.8\% in the Alimeeting testset and DIHARD II evaluation set, respectively.

Historical shear deformation of rock fractures derived from digital outcrop models and its implications on the development of fracture systems

The initiation and development of fractures in rocks is the key part of many problems from academic to industrial, such as faulting, folding, rock mass engineering, reservoir characterization, etc. Conventional ways of evaluating the fracture historical deformations depend on the geologists' visual interpretation of indicating structures such as fault striations, fault steps, plumose structures, etc. on the fracture surface produced by previous deformations, and hence suffer from problems like subjectivity and the absence of obvious indicating structures. In this study, we propose a quantitative method to derive historical shear deformations of rock fractures from digital outcrop models (DOMs) based on the analysis of effects of fault striations and fault steps on the shear strength parameter of the fracture surface. A theoretical model that combines effects of fault striations, fault steps and isotropic base shear strength is fitted to the shear strength parameter. The amount of fault striations and fault steps and their occurrences are estimated, and the historical shear deformations can be inferred. The validity and the effectiveness of the proposed method was proved by testing it on a constructed fracture surface with idealized striations and a fracture surface with clear fault steps. The application of this method on an example outcrop shows an intuitive idea of how the rock mass was deformed and that the distribution, occurrence and mode of new fractures are strictly controlled by preexisting fractures, and hence emphasizes the importance of preexisting fractures in modeling the development of fracture systems.
