DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Copilot can be utilized to automatically summarize me
 eting discussions and generate actionable items from a meeting. Understand
 ing "who is speaking what and when" is a crucial component to make this ma
 gic work. This talk explores the processes involved in handling speech sig
 nals\, focusing on speech separation\, enhancement\, automatic speech reco
 gnition (ASR)\, and speaker diarization. We will start with techniques for
  separating and enhancing speech to ensure clarity and quality. The discus
 sion will then shift to multilingual ASR\, addressing the complexities of 
 accurately transcribing speech across various languages. We will conclude 
 the talk with speaker diarization\, which identifies and attributes speech
  segments to individual speakers\, answering the critical questions of who
  is speaking and when.\n\nPlease register for the event using the link pro
