Towards Dog Bark Decoding: Leveraging Human Speech Processing for Automated Bark Classification
Similar to humans, animals make extensive use of verbal and non-verbal forms of communication, including a large range of audio signals. In this paper, we address dog vocalizations and explore the use of self-supervised speech representation models pre-trained on human speech to address dog bark classification tasks that find parallels in human-centered tasks in speech recognition. We specifically address four tasks: dog recognition, breed identification, gender classification, and context grounding. We show that using speech embedding representations significantly improves over simpler classification baselines. Further, we also find that models pre-trained on large human speech acoustics can provide additional performance boosts on several tasks.

Who Gets the Mic? Investigating Gender Bias in the Speaker Assignment of a Speech-LLM
Similar to text-based Large Language Models (LLMs), Speech-LLMs exhibit emergent abilities and context awareness. However, whether these similarities extend to gender bias remains an open question. This study proposes a …
Enhancing Suno's Bark Text-to-Speech Model: Addressing Limitations Through Meta's Encodec and Pre-Trained Hubert
Bark, a transformer-based text-to-audio model by Suno, generates highly realistic, multilingual speech as well as other audio, including music, background noise, and simple sound effects. While this model has shown promi…
