In conventional multichannel audio signal enhancement, spatial and spectral filtering are often performed sequentially. In contrast, it has been shown that for neural spatial filtering a joint approach of spectro-spatial filtering is more…

We propose a knowledge-driven approach to speech target extraction in the presence of background sound effects already recorded in cinematic audio. The specific knowledge sources studied are manners of articulation that are detected in…

We consider the problem of separating a particular sound source from a single-channel mixture, based on only a short sample of the target source. Using SoundFilter, a wave-to-wave neural network architecture, we can train a model without…

Current multichannel speech enhancement algorithms typically assume a stationary sound source, a common mismatch with reality that limits their performance in real-world scenarios. This paper focuses on attention-driven spatial filtering…

This paper introduces an area-based source separation method designed for virtual meeting scenarios. The aim is to preserve speech signals from an unspecified number of sources within a defined spatial area in front of a linear microphone…

Target Language Extraction aims to extract speech in a specific language from a mixture waveform that contains multiple speakers speaking different languages. The human auditory system is adept at performing this task with the knowledge of…

Spatial audio quality is a highly multifaceted concept, with many interactions between environmental, geometrical, anatomical, psychological, and contextual considerations. Methods for characterization or evaluation of the geometrical…

Retrieval-augmented generation can improve audio captioning by incorporating relevant audio-text pairs from a knowledge base. Existing methods typically rely solely on the input audio as a unimodal retrieval query. In contrast, we propose…

In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for spatial audio understanding of first-order ambisonic (FOA) signals through a question answering (QA) paradigm, aiming to extend the scope of sound event localization and detection (SELD)…

Large-scale pre-trained image-text models demonstrate remarkable versatility across diverse tasks, benefiting from their robust representational capabilities and effective multimodal alignment. We extend the application of these models,…

We introduce ImmerseDiffusion, an end-to-end generative audio model that produces 3D immersive soundscapes conditioned on the spatial, temporal, and environmental conditions of sound objects. ImmerseDiffusion is trained to generate…

Language-queried Audio Separation (LASS) employs linguistic queries to isolate target sounds based on semantic descriptions. However, existing methods face challenges in aligning complex auditory features with linguistic context while…

Speaker extraction aims to extract the target speaker's voice from a multi-talker speech mixture given an auxiliary reference utterance. Recent studies show that speaker extraction benefits from the location or direction of the target…

This paper presents a novel approach to sound source separation that leverages spatial information obtained during the recording setup. Our method trains a spatial mixing filter using solo passages to capture information about the room…

We present an analysis of large-scale pretrained deep learning models used for cross-modal (text-to-audio) retrieval. We use embeddings extracted by these models in a metric learning framework to connect matching pairs of audio and text.…

Modern audio source separation techniques rely on optimizing sequence model architectures such as, 1D-CNNs, on mixture recordings to generalize well to unseen mixtures. Specifically, recent focus is on time-domain based architectures such…

Recently, attention-based transformers have become a de facto standard in many deep learning applications including natural language processing, computer vision, signal processing, etc.. In this paper, we propose a transformer-based…

Recent progress in deep learning has enabled many advances in sound separation and visual scene understanding. However, extracting sound sources which are apparent in natural videos remains an open problem. In this work, we present…

This paper introduces SoundSculpt, a neural network designed to extract target sound fields from ambisonic recordings. SoundSculpt employs an ambisonic-in-ambisonic-out architecture and is conditioned on both spatial information (e.g.,…

This dissertation proposes the study of multimodal learning in the context of musical signals. Throughout, we focus on the interaction between audio signals and text information. Among the many text sources related to music that can be used…
