In this paper, we explore methods that enable supervised speech enhancement systems to train on real-world degraded speech data. Specifically, we propose a semi-supervised approach for speech enhancement in which we first train a modified vector-quantized variational autoencoder that solves a source separation task.

This position paper names and distinguishes these paradigms. Despite substantial overlap, subtle but significant distinctions exert an outsize influence on research. While one evaluation paradigm values creating more intelligent QA systems, the other paradigm values building QA systems that appeal to users.

In this paper, we question if self-supervised learning provides new properties to Vision Transformer (ViT) [16] that stand out compared to convolutional networks (convnets).

The dataset is designed to contain minimal biases and has detailed annotations for the different types of reasoning over the spatio-temporal space of video. Dialogues are synthesized over multiple question turns, each of which is injected with a set of cross-turn semantic relationships. We use DVD to analyze existing approaches, providing interesting insights into their abilities and limitations.

Here we consider highly dynamic environments with long horizons that necessitate a fast online solution. We present a unified approach that leverages the complementary strengths of sampling and optimization, and interleaves them both in a manner that is well suited to this challenging problem.

We present Success weighted by Completion Time (SCT), a new metric for evaluating navigation performance for mobile robots. Several related works on navigation have used Success weighted by Path Length (SPL) as the primary method of evaluating the path an agent makes to a goal location, but SPL is limited in its ability to properly evaluate agents with complex dynamics.

To address the complexity issue in speech synthesis domain, this paper proposes an efficient transformer-based acoustic model that is constant-speed regardless of input sequence length, making it ideal for streaming speech synthesis applications.

In this work, we highlight an intrinsic correspondence between a simple family of autoregressive normalizing flows and identifiable causal models. We exploit the fact that autoregressive flow architectures define an ordering over variables, analogous to a causal ordering, to show that they are well-suited to performing a range of causal inference tasks, ranging from causal discovery to making interventional and counterfactual predictions.

In this paper, we investigate the transfer learning capacity of audio representations obtained from neural networks trained on a large-scale sound event detection dataset.

In this work, we present a permutation invariant training that employs the Hungarian algorithm in order to train with an O(C3) time complexity, where C is the number of speakers, in comparison to O(C!) of PIT based methods.
