Speech-to-Text Translation (S2TT) systems built from Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Text Translation (T2TT) modules face two major limitations: error propagation and the inability to exploit prosodic or other acoustic cues.…
Statistical machine translation (SMT) systems perform poorly when it is applied to new target domains. Our goal is to explore domain adaptation approaches and techniques for improving the translation quality of domain-specific SMT systems.…
The explosion of short videos has dramatically reshaped the manners people socialize, yielding a new trend for daily sharing and access to the latest information. These rich video resources, on the one hand, benefited from the…
In addition to traditional tasks such as prediction, classification and translation, deep learning is receiving growing attention as an approach for music generation, as witnessed by recent research groups such as Magenta at Google and CTRL…
Imbalanced music genre classification is a crucial task in the Music Information Retrieval (MIR) field for identifying the long-tail, data-poor genre based on the related music audio segments, which is very prevalent in real-world…
Vision Transformers (ViTs) have demonstrated superior performance across a wide range of computer vision tasks. However, structured noise artifacts in their feature maps hinder downstream applications such as segmentation and depth…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems promise to deliver objective interpretation of human speech. Practice and recent evidence suggests that the state-of-the-art (SotA) ASRs struggle with the large variation in speech due to e.g.,…
Machine translation (MT) is an area of study in Natural Language processing which deals with the automatic translation of human language, from one language to another by the computer. Having a rich research history spanning nearly three…
Music auto-tagging is crucial for enhancing music discovery and recommendation. Existing models in Music Information Retrieval (MIR) struggle with real-world noise such as environmental and speech sounds in multimedia content. This study…
While global linguistic diversity spans more than 7164 recognized languages, the current dominant architecture of machine intelligence remains fundamentally biased toward written text. This bias excludes over 700 million people particularly…
Continual Test-Time Adaptation (CTA) is a challenging task that aims to adapt a source pre-trained model to continually changing target domains. In the CTA setting, a model does not know when the target domain changes, thus facing a drastic…
In this article, the outlier production mechanism of the conventional Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) and the g-MUSIC Direction-of-Arrival (DoA) estimation technique is investigated using tools from Random Matrix Theory (RMT). A…
Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation is a fundamental problem in signal processing. Diffuse sources, whose power density cannot be represented with a single angular coordinate, are usually characterized based on prior assumptions, which…
We propose a unified model for three inter-related tasks: 1) to \textit{separate} individual sound sources from a mixed music audio, 2) to \textit{transcribe} each sound source to MIDI notes, and 3) to\textit{ synthesize} new pieces based…
In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become a universal tool for tackling real-world problems. ANNs have also shown great success in music-related tasks including music summarization and classification, similarity…
In this study, we present a novel automatic piano reduction method with semi-supervised machine learning. Piano reduction is an important music transformation process, which helps musicians and composers as a musical sketch for performances…
Deep neural network models have become the dominant approach to a large variety of tasks within music information retrieval (MIR). These models generally require large amounts of (annotated) training data to achieve high accuracy. Because…
Speech recognition is a well developed research field so that the current state of the art systems are being used in many applications in the software industry, yet as by today, there still does not exist such robust system for the…
Universal sound separation (USS) is a task to separate arbitrary sounds from an audio mixture. Existing USS systems are capable of separating arbitrary sources, given a few examples of the target sources as queries. However, separating…
Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) aims to tackle distribution shifts using unlabeled test data without access to the source data. In the context of multimodal data, there are more complex noise patterns than unimodal data such as simultaneous…
