The goal of text-queried target sound extraction (TSE) is to extract from a mixture a sound source specified with a natural-language caption. While it is preferable to have access to large-scale text-audio pairs to address a variety of text…
Speech clarity and spatial audio immersion are the two most critical factors in enhancing remote conferencing experiences. Existing methods are often limited: either due to the lack of spatial information when using only one microphone, or…
We introduce MMAudioSep, a generative model for video/text-queried sound separation that is founded on a pretrained video-to-audio model. By leveraging knowledge about the relationship between video/text and audio learned through a…
Target speech separation refers to extracting the target speaker's speech from mixed signals. Despite the recent advances in deep learning based close-talk speech separation, the applications to real-world are still an open issue. Two main…
We explore active audio-visual separation for dynamic sound sources, where an embodied agent moves intelligently in a 3D environment to continuously isolate the time-varying audio stream being emitted by an object of interest. The agent…
This article addresses the modeling of reverberant recording environments in the context of under-determined convolutive blind source separation. We model the contribution of each source to all mixture channels in the time-frequency domain…
Spatial audio is an essential medium to audiences for 3D visual and auditory experience. However, the recording devices and techniques are expensive or inaccessible to the general public. In this work, we propose a self-supervised audio…
State-of-the-art under-determined audio source separation systems rely on supervised end-end training of carefully tailored neural network architectures operating either in the time or the spectral domain. However, these methods are…
In a multi-channel separation task with multiple speakers, we aim to recover all individual speech signals from the mixture. In contrast to single-channel approaches, which rely on the different spectro-temporal characteristics of the…
Language-queried audio source separation (LASS) aims to separate an audio source guided by a text query, with the signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR)-based metrics being commonly used to objectively measure the quality of the separated audio.…
The current paradigm for creating and deploying immersive audio content is based on audio objects, which are composed of an audio track and position metadata. While rendering an object-based production into a multichannel mix is…
We introduce a new paradigm for single-channel target source separation where the sources of interest can be distinguished using non-mutually exclusive concepts (e.g., loudness, gender, language, spatial location, etc). Our proposed…
We propose a knowledge-driven, model-based approach to segmenting audio into single-category and mixed-category chunks with applications to source separation. "Knowledge" here denotes information associated with the data, such as music…
Spatial target speaker extraction isolates a desired speaker's voice in multi-speaker environments using spatial information, such as the direction of arrival (DoA). Although recent deep neural network (DNN)-based discriminative methods…
This article presents a Non-negative Tensor Factorization based method for sound source separation from Ambisonic microphone signals. The proposed method enables the use of prior knowledge about the Directions-of-Arrival (DOAs) of the…
Language-queried audio source separation (LASS) is a new paradigm for computational auditory scene analysis (CASA). LASS aims to separate a target sound from an audio mixture given a natural language query, which provides a natural and…
Ambisonics is a scene-based spatial audio format that has several useful features compared to object-based formats, such as efficient whole scene rotation and versatility. However, it does not provide direct access to the individual source…
During the Covid, online meetings have become an indispensable part of our lives. This trend is likely to continue due to their convenience and broad reach. However, background noise from other family members, roommates, office-mates not…
Dominant researches adopt supervised training for speaker extraction, while the scarcity of ideally clean corpus and channel mismatch problem are rarely considered. To this end, we propose speaker-aware mixture of mixtures training (SAMoM),…
Transformer based end-to-end modelling approaches with multiple stream inputs have been achieved great success in various automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks. An important issue associated with such approaches is that the intermediate…
