Removing background noise from speech audio has been the subject of considerable effort, especially in recent years due to the rise of virtual communication and amateur recordings. Yet background noise is not the only unpleasant disturbance…
Visual sound source separation aims at identifying sound components from a given sound mixture with the presence of visual cues. Prior works have demonstrated impressive results, but with the expense of large multi-stage architectures and…
High-quality training datasets are essential for the performance of neural networks. However, the audio domain still lacks a large-scale, strongly-labeled, and single-source sound event dataset. The FSD50K dataset, despite being relatively…
The task of manipulating the level and/or effects of individual instruments to recompose a mixture of recordings, or remixing, is common across a variety of applications such as music production, audio-visual post-production, podcasts, and…
In music source separation, the number of sources may vary for each piece and some of the sources may belong to the same family of instruments, thus sharing timbral characteristics and making the sources more correlated. This leads to…
Sound Event Detection (SED) is challenging in noisy environments where overlapping sounds obscure target events. Language-queried audio source separation (LASS) aims to isolate the target sound events from a noisy clip. However, this…
Source separation is the process of isolating individual sounds in an auditory mixture of multiple sounds [1], and has a variety of applications ranging from speech enhancement and lyric transcription [2] to digital audio production for…
