Real-Time Target Sound Extraction
We present the first neural network model to achieve real-time and streaming target sound extraction. To accomplish this, we propose Waveformer, an encoder-decoder architecture with a stack of dilated causal convolution layers as the encoder, and a transformer decoder layer as the decoder. This hybrid architecture uses dilated causal convolutions for processing large receptive fields in a computationally efficient manner while also leveraging the generalization performance of transformer-based architectures. Our evaluations show as much as 2.2-3.3 dB improvement in SI-SNRi compared to the prior models for this task while having a 1.2-4x smaller model size and a 1.5-2x lower runtime. We provide code, dataset, and audio samples: https://waveformer.cs.washington.edu/.

Few-shot learning of new sound classes for target sound extraction
Target sound extraction consists of extracting the sound of a target acoustic event (AE) class from a mixture of AE sounds. It can be realized using a neural network that extracts the target sound conditioned on a 1-hot …

We propose a multichannel-to-multichannel target sound extraction (M2M-TSE) framework for separating multichannel target signals from a multichannel mixture of sound sources. Target sound extraction (TSE) isolates a spec…

An onomatopoeic word, which is a character sequence that phonetically imitates a sound, is effective in expressing characteristics of sound such as duration, pitch, and timbre. We propose an environmental-sound-extractio…
SoundBeam: Target sound extraction conditioned on sound-class labels and enrollment clues for increased performance and continuous learning
In many situations, we would like to hear desired sound events (SEs) while being able to ignore interference. Target sound extraction (TSE) tackles this problem by estimating the audio signal of the sounds of target SE c…

Hearables are becoming ubiquitous, yet their sound controls remain blunt: users can either enable global noise suppression or focus on a single target sound. Real-world acoustic scenes, however, contain many simultaneous…
