We present a multimodal framework to learn general audio representations from videos. Existing contrastive audio representation learning methods mainly focus on using the audio modality alone during training. In this work, we show that…
Audio source separation is often achieved by estimating the magnitude spectrogram of each source, and then applying a phase recovery (or spectrogram inversion) algorithm to retrieve time-domain signals. Typically, spectrogram inversion is…
Music Structure Analysis (MSA) consists in segmenting a music piece in several distinct sections. We approach MSA within a compression framework, under the hypothesis that the structure is more easily revealed by a simplified representation…
The rapid advancement of deepfake technology poses a significant threat to digital media integrity. Deepfakes, synthetic media created using AI, can convincingly alter videos and audio to misrepresent reality. This creates risks of…
Recent progress in deep learning for audio synthesis opens the way to models that directly produce the waveform, shifting away from the traditional paradigm of relying on vocoders or MIDI synthesizers for speech or music generation. Despite…
Feature modeling is a widely used formalism to characterize a set of products (also called configurations). As a manual elaboration is a long and arduous task, numerous techniques have been proposed to reverse engineer feature models from…
We present an analysis of a dataset of audio metrics and aesthetic considerations about mixes and masters provided by the web platform MixCheck studio. The platform is designed for educational purposes, primarily targeting amateur music…
We propose a semi-supervised singing synthesizer, which is able to learn new voices from audio data only, without any annotations such as phonetic segmentation. Our system is an encoder-decoder model with two encoders, linguistic and…
This monograph introduces a novel approach to polyphonic music generation by addressing the "Missing Middle" problem through structural inductive bias. Focusing on Beethoven's piano sonatas as a case study, we empirically verify the…
Reducing the interference noise in a monaural noisy speech signal has been a challenging task for many years. Compared to traditional unsupervised speech enhancement methods, e.g., Wiener filtering, supervised approaches, such as algorithms…
The potential use of non-linear speech features has not been investigated for music analysis although other commonly used speech features like Mel Frequency Ceptral Coefficients (MFCC) and pitch have been used extensively. In this paper, we…
Perceptual sound matching (PSM) aims to find the input parameters to a synthesizer so as to best imitate an audio target. Deep learning for PSM optimizes a neural network to analyze and reconstruct prerecorded samples. In this context, our…
FM Synthesis is a well-known algorithm used to generate complex timbre from a compact set of design primitives. Typically featuring a MIDI interface, it is usually impractical to control it from an audio source. On the other hand,…
Diagnosis and therapeutic effect assessment of Parkinson disease based on voice data are very important,but its few-shot learning problem is challenging.Although deep learning is good at automatic feature extraction, it suffers from…
The present study tackles the problem of automatically discovering spoken keywords from untranscribed audio archives without requiring word-by-word speech transcription by automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology. The problem is of…
Non-Negative Matrix Factorization, NMF, attempts to find a number of archetypal response profiles, or parts, such that any sample profile in the dataset can be approximated by a close profile among these archetypes or a linear combination…
Accurately estimating and simulating the physical properties of objects from real-world sound recordings is of great practical importance in the fields of vision, graphics, and robotics. However, the progress in these directions has been…
Audio deepfake detection is well-studied as a binary problem, but partially manipulated speech, where a short synthesised segment is spliced into an otherwise genuine utterance, poses a harder and more realistic threat. Detecting such…
We introduce the visual acoustic matching task, in which an audio clip is transformed to sound like it was recorded in a target environment. Given an image of the target environment and a waveform for the source audio, the goal is to…
This paper is concerned with inverse acoustic scattering problem of inferring the position and shape of a sound-soft obstacle from phaseless far-field data. We propose the Bayesian approach to recover sound-soft disks, line cracks and…
