In this paper, we propose a hybrid neural network (NN) to handle the tasks of sound event separation (SES) and sound event detection (SED) in Task 4 of DCASE 2020 challenge. The convolutional time-domain audio separation network (Conv-TasNet) is employed to extract the foreground sound events defined in DCASE challenge. By comparing the baseline SED network with various training strategies, we demonstrate that the SES network is capable of enhancing the SED performance effectively in terms of…

Sound Event Detection in Domestic Environments with Weakly Labeled Data and Soundscape Synthesis
TLDR
The paper introduces Domestic Environment Sound Event Detection (DESED) dataset mixing a part of last year dataset and an additional synthetic, strongly labeled, dataset provided this year that’s described more in detail.
MEAN TEACHER WITH DATA AUGMENTATION FOR DCASE 2019 TASK 4 Technical Report
TLDR
A mean-teacher model with convolutional neural network (CNN) and recurrent neuralnetwork (RNN) together with data augmentation and a median window tuned for each class based on prior knowledge is proposed.
Universal Sound Separation
TLDR
A dataset of mixtures containing arbitrary sounds is developed, and the best methods produce an improvement in scale-invariant signal-to-distortion ratio of over 13 dB for speech/non-speech separation and close to 10 dB for universal sound separation.
Sound Event Detection in Synthetic Domestic Environments
TLDR
A comparative analysis of the performance of state-of-the-art sound event detection systems based on the results of task 4 of the DCASE 2019 challenge, where submitted systems were evaluated on a series of synthetic soundscapes that allow us to carefully control for different soundscape characteristics.
Metrics for Polyphonic Sound Event Detection
This paper presents and discusses various metrics proposed for evaluation of polyphonic sound event detection systems used in realistic situations where there are typically multiple sound sources…
Scaper: A library for soundscape synthesis and augmentation
TLDR
Given a collection of iso-lated sound events, Scaper acts as a high-level sequencer that can generate multiple soundscapes from a single, probabilistically defined, “specification”, to increase the variability of the output.
TasNet: Surpassing Ideal Time-Frequency Masking for Speech Separation.
Single-Channel Multi-Speaker Separation Using Deep Clustering
TLDR
This paper significantly improves upon the baseline system performance by incorporating better regularization, larger temporal context, and a deeper architecture, culminating in an overall improvement in signal to distortion ratio (SDR) of 10.3 dB compared to the baseline, and produces unprecedented performance on a challenging speech separation.
Speaker-Independent Speech Separation With Deep Attractor Network
TLDR
This work proposes a novel deep learning framework for speech separation that uses a neural network to project the time-frequency representation of the mixture signal into a high-dimensional embedding space and proposes three methods for finding the attractors for each source in the embedded space and compares their advantages and limitations.
Multi-talker Speech Separation with Utterance-level Permutation Invariant Training of Deep Recurrent Neural Networks.
In this paper we propose the utterance-level Permutation Invariant Training (uPIT) technique. uPIT is a practically applicable, end-to-end, deep learning based solution for speaker independent…
