A novel model was recently proposed by Schulze-Forster et al. in [1] for unsupervised music source separation. This model allows to tackle some of the major shortcomings of existing source separation frameworks. Specifically, it eliminates…
Singing voice detection (SVD), to recognize vocal parts in the song, is an essential task in music information retrieval (MIR). The task remains challenging since singing voice varies and intertwines with the accompaniment music, especially…
This paper addresses the problem of species classification in bird song recordings. The massive amount of available field recordings of birds presents an opportunity to use machine learning to automatically track bird populations. However,…

This paper proposes reverberation as supervision (RAS), a novel unsupervised loss function for single-channel reverberant speech separation. Prior methods for unsupervised separation required the synthesis of mixtures of mixtures or assumed…
Real-world sound scenes consist of time-varying collections of sound sources, each generating characteristic sound events that are mixed together in audio recordings. The association of these constituent sound events with their mixture and…
Neural networks have recently become the dominant approach to sound separation. Their good performance relies on large datasets of isolated recordings. For speech and music, isolated single channel data are readily available; however the…
Learning good representations is of crucial importance in deep learning. Mutual Information (MI) or similar measures of statistical dependence are promising tools for learning these representations in an unsupervised way. Even though the…
