Emitted sounds may drastically change when using different microphones, when properties of the sound sources change, or when recording in different acoustic environments. Ideally, anomalous sound detection (ASD) systems should be able to generalize well to unseen target domains by only providing a f…
The goal of text-queried target sound extraction (TSE) is to extract from a mixture a sound source specified with a natural-language caption. While it is preferable to have access to large-scale text-audio pairs to address a variety of text queries, the limited number of available high-quality text-…
Large-scale audio tagging datasets like AudioSet usually suffer from severe class imbalance comprising many audio examples for common sound classes but only few examples of rare sound classes. The latter, however, may yet be equally or even more important to recognize. Therefore, it is common practi…
Several attempts have been made to handle multiple source separation tasks such as speech enhancement, speech separation, sound event separation, music source separation (MSS), or cinematic audio source separation (CASS) with a single model. These models are trained on large-scale data including spe…
Audio-Visual Video Parsing (AVVP) entails the challenging task of localizing both uni-modal events (i.e., those occurring exclusively in either the visual or acoustic modality of a video) and multi-modal events (i.e., those occurring in both modalities concurrently). Moreover, the prohibitive cost o…
Performing an adequate evaluation of sound event detection (SED) systems is far from trivial and is still subject to ongoing research. The recently proposed polyphonic sound detection (PSD)-receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and PSD score (PSDS) make an important step into the direction of an e…
In this work we address disentanglement of style and content in speech signals. We propose a fully convolutional variational autoencoder employing two encoders: a content encoder and a style encoder. To foster disentanglement, we propose adversarial contrastive predictive coding. This new disentangl…
