Semi-supervised Time Domain Target Speaker Extraction with Attention

Zhepei Wang, Ritwik Giri, Shrikant Venkataramani +5

In this work, we propose Exformer, a time-domain architecture for target speaker extraction. It consists of a pre-trained speaker embedder network and a separator network based on…

To Dereverb Or Not to Dereverb? Perceptual Studies On Real-Time Dereverberation Targets

Jean-Marc Valin, Ritwik Giri, Shrikant Venkataramani +2

In real life, room effect, also known as room reverberation, and the present background noise degrade the quality of speech. Recently, deep learning-based speech enhancement approa…

Efficient Trainable Front-Ends for Neural Speech Enhancement

Jonah Casebeer, Umut Isik, Shrikant Venkataramani +1

Many neural speech enhancement and source separation systems operate in the time-frequency domain. Such models often benefit from making their Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) f…

End-to-end Non-Negative Autoencoders for Sound Source Separation

Shrikant Venkataramani, Efthymios Tzinis, Paris Smaragdis

Discriminative models for source separation have recently been shown to produce impressive results. However, when operating on sources outside of the training set, these models can…

Two-Step Sound Source Separation: Training on Learned Latent Targets

Efthymios Tzinis, Shrikant Venkataramani, Zhepei Wang +2

In this paper, we propose a two-step training procedure for source separation via a deep neural network. In the first step we learn a transform (and it's inverse) to a latent space…

A Style Transfer Approach to Source Separation

Shrikant Venkataramani, Efthymios Tzinis, Paris Smaragdis

Training neural networks for source separation involves presenting a mixture recording at the input of the network and updating network parameters in order to produce an output tha…

Unsupervised Deep Clustering for Source Separation: Direct Learning from Mixtures using Spatial Information

Efthymios Tzinis, Shrikant Venkataramani, Paris Smaragdis

We present a monophonic source separation system that is trained by only observing mixtures with no ground truth separation information. We use a deep clustering approach which tra…

A Neural Network Alternative to Non-Negative Audio Models

Paris Smaragdis, Shrikant Venkataramani

We present a neural network that can act as an equivalent to a Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), and further show how it can be used to perform supervised source separation.…
