Neural style transfer, allowing to apply the artistic style of one image to another, has become one of the most widely showcased computer vision applications shortly after its introduction. In contrast, related tasks in the music audio domain remained, until recently, largely untackled. While severa…
“Style transfer” among images has recently emerged as a very active research topic, fuelled by the power of convolution neural networks (CNNs), and has become fast a very popular technology in social media. This paper investigates the analogous problem in the audio domain: How to transfer the style…
We propose a novel informed source separation method for audio object coding based on a recent sampling theory for smooth signals on graphs. Assuming that only one source is active at each time-frequency point, we compute an ideal map indicating which source is active at each time-frequency point at…
In this paper we tackle the problem of single channel audio source separation driven by descriptors of the sounding object's motion. As opposed to previous approaches, motion is included as a soft-coupling constraint within the nonnegative matrix factorization framework. The proposed method is appli…
Nonnegative matrix or tensor factorization is a very popular approach for audio source separation. One important problem in nonnegative tensor factorization (NTF) in the context of user-guided audio source separation is the necessity to manually assign the NTF components to audio sources in order to…
Audio declipping consists in recovering so-called clipped audio samples that are set to a maximum / minimum threshold. Many different approaches were proposed to solve this problem in case of singlechannel (mono) recordings. However, while most of audio recordings are multichannel nowadays, there is…
We consider dictionary-based signal decompositions with group sparsity, a variant of structured sparsity. We point out that the group sparsity-inducing constraint alone may not be sufficient in some cases when we know that some bigger groups or so-called supergroups cannot vanish completely. To deal…
