SURF: Separation via Unsupervised Remixing Flow

ICML 2026poster

The goal of single-channel source separation is to reconstruct $K$ sources given their mixture. In supervised settings where vast amounts of clean source data are available, this challenging, ill-posed problem has been addressed successfully by generative diffusion and flow-based prior models. Howev…

Latent Iterative Refinement for Modular Source Separation

ICASSP 2023accepted

Traditional source separation approaches train deep neural network models end-to-end with all the data available at once by minimizing the empirical risk on the whole training set. On the inference side, after training the model, the user fetches a static computation graph and runs the full model on…

Optimal Condition Training for Target Source Separation

ICASSP 2023accepted

Recent research has shown remarkable performance in leveraging multiple extraneous conditional and non-mutually-exclusive semantic concepts for sound source separation, allowing the flexibility to extract a given target source based on multiple different queries. In this work, we propose a new optim…

AudioScopeV2: Audio-Visual Attention Architectures for Calibrated Open-Domain On-Screen Sound Separation

ECCV 2022poster

"We introduce AudioScopeV2, a state-of-the-art universal audio-visual on-screen sound separation system which is capable of learning to separate sounds and associate them with on-screen objects by looking at in-the-wild videos. We identify several limitations of previous work on audio-visual on-scre…

Continual Self-Training With Bootstrapped Remixing For Speech Enhancement

ICASSP 2022accepted

We propose RemixIT, a simple and novel self-supervised training method for speech enhancement. The proposed method is based on a continuously self-training scheme that overcomes limitations from previous studies including assumptions for the in-domain noise distribution and having access to clean ta…

Into the Wild with AudioScope: Unsupervised Audio-Visual Separation of On-Screen Sounds

ICLR 2021poster

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 AudioScope, a novel audio-visual sound separation framework that can…

Unified Gradient Reweighting for Model Biasing with Applications to Source Separation

ICASSP 2021accepted

Recent deep learning approaches have shown great improvement in audio source separation tasks. However, the vast majority of such work is focused on improving average separation performance, often neglecting to examine or control the distribution of the results. In this paper, we propose a simple, u…

End-To-End Non-Negative Autoencoders for Sound Source Separation

ICASSP 2020accepted

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 not perform as well and are cumbersome to update. Classical methods like Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) provide…

Improving Universal Sound Separation Using Sound Classification

ICASSP 2020accepted

Deep learning approaches have recently achieved impressive performance on both audio source separation and sound classification. Most audio source separation approaches focus only on separating sources belonging to a restricted domain of source classes, such as speech and music. However, recent work…

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

ICASSP 2020accepted

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 where masking-based separation performance using oracles is optimal. For the second step, we train a separation module…

Unsupervised Sound Separation Using Mixture Invariant Training

NeurIPS 2020spotlight

In recent years, rapid progress has been made on the problem of single-channel sound separation using supervised training of deep neural networks. In such supervised approaches, a model is trained to predict the component sources from synthetic mixtures created by adding up isolated ground-truth sou…

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

ICASSP 2019accepted

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 trains on multichannel mixtures and learns to project spectrogram bins to source clusters that correlate with various spati…

Engagement detection for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

ICASSP 2017accepted

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) face several difficulties in social communication. Hence, analyzing social interaction can provide insight on their social and cognitive skills. In this paper, we investigate the degree of engagement of children in interactions with their parents. Feature…
