Retrieving Individual Stems from Music Mixtures with Slot Embeddings
David Braun, Junyi Fan, Pranay Manocha +2
Music producers search libraries of isolated instrument recordings, called stems, for sounds resembling parts of an existing song. Neural retrieval systems address this by mapping…
Quieter Than the Room: Representation Drift and Task Robustness in Speech Encoders
Vsevolod Kovalev, Pranay Manocha
Non-speech interference can change a speech representation without causing comparable task loss. We test eight frozen encoders on four tasks, adding non-speech sounds throughout re…
SEAM: Shortcut-Aware Real-Time Detection of Scripted vs. Spontaneous Speech for Interview Guardrails
Vsevolod, Kovalev, Pranay Manocha
Scripted vs spontaneous speech detection is appealing for interview guardrails, but benchmark performance can be inflated by shortcuts tied to corpus identity, channel conditions,…
CORN: Co-Trained Full- And No-Reference Speech Quality Assessment
Pranay Manocha, Donald Williamson, Adam Finkelstein
Perceptual evaluation constitutes a crucial aspect of various audio-processing tasks. Full reference (FR) or similarity-based metrics rely on high-quality reference recordings, to…
TorchAudio-Squim: Reference-less Speech Quality and Intelligibility measures in TorchAudio
Anurag Kumar, Ke Tan, Zhaoheng Ni +4
Measuring quality and intelligibility of a speech signal is usually a critical step in development of speech processing systems. To enable this, a variety of metrics to measure qua…
Audio Similarity is Unreliable as a Proxy for Audio Quality
Pranay Manocha, Zeyu Jin, Adam Finkelstein
Many audio processing tasks require perceptual assessment. However, the time and expense of obtaining ``gold standard'' human judgments limit the availability of such data. Most ap…
