In real-world singing voice conversion (SVC) applications, environmental noise and the demand for expressive output pose significant challenges. Conventional methods, however, are typically designed without accounting for real deployment…
We propose a method for the blind separation of sounds of musical instruments in audio signals. We describe the individual tones via a parametric model, training a dictionary to capture the relative amplitudes of the harmonics. The model…
We propose a model to estimate the fundamental frequency in monophonic audio, often referred to as pitch estimation. We acknowledge the fact that obtaining ground truth annotations at the required temporal and frequency resolution is a…
The framework of visually-guided sound source separation generally consists of three parts: visual feature extraction, multimodal feature fusion, and sound signal processing. An ongoing trend in this field has been to tailor involved visual…
Singing Voice Conversion (SVC) aims to transform a source singing voice into a target singer while preserving lyrics and melody. Most existing SVC methods depend on F0 extractors to capture the lead melody from clean vocals. However, no…
Music is often experienced as a progression of concurrent streams of notes, or voices. The degree to which this happens depends on the position along a voice-leading continuum, ranging from monophonic, to homophonic, to polyphonic, which…
A music mashup combines audio elements from two or more songs to create a new work. To reduce the time and effort required to make them, researchers have developed algorithms that predict the compatibility of audio elements. Prior work has…

Voice disorders significantly impact patient quality of life, yet non-invasive automated diagnosis remains under-explored due to both the scarcity of pathological voice data, and the variability in recording sources. This work introduces…
In this paper, we present a machine-learning approach to pitch correction for voice in a karaoke setting, where the vocals and accompaniment are on separate tracks and time-aligned. The network takes as input the time-frequency…
Multi-Pitch Estimation (MPE) continues to be a sought after capability of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) systems, and is critical for many applications and downstream tasks involving pitch, including music transcription. However,…
