Reproducible Subjective Evaluation

1 code implementation8 Mar 2022 Max Morrison, Brian Tang, Gefei Tan, Bryan Pardo

ReSEval lets researchers launch A/B, ABX, Mean Opinion Score (MOS) and MUltiple Stimuli with Hidden Reference and Anchor (MUSHRA) tests on audio, image, text, or video data from a command-line interface or using one line of Python, making it as easy to run as objective evaluation.

Deep Learning Tools for Audacity: Helping Researchers Expand the Artist's Toolkit

no code implementations25 Oct 2021 Hugo Flores Garcia, Aldo Aguilar, Ethan Manilow, Dmitry Vedenko, Bryan Pardo

We present a software framework that integrates neural networks into the popular open-source audio editing software, Audacity, with a minimal amount of developer effort.

Unsupervised Source Separation By Steering Pretrained Music Models

1 code implementation25 Oct 2021 Ethan Manilow, Patrick O'Reilly, Prem Seetharaman, Bryan Pardo

We showcase an unsupervised method that repurposes deep models trained for music generation and music tagging for audio source separation, without any retraining.

Bach or Mock? A Grading Function for Chorales in the Style of J.S. Bach

1 code implementation23 Jun 2020 Alexander Fang, Alisa Liu, Prem Seetharaman, Bryan Pardo

Deep generative systems that learn probabilistic models from a corpus of existing music do not explicitly encode knowledge of a musical style, compared to traditional rule-based systems.

Incorporating Music Knowledge in Continual Dataset Augmentation for Music Generation

1 code implementation23 Jun 2020 Alisa Liu, Alexander Fang, Gaëtan Hadjeres, Prem Seetharaman, Bryan Pardo

Model selection for deep audio source separation via clustering analysis

no code implementations23 Oct 2019 Alisa Liu, Prem Seetharaman, Bryan Pardo

We compare our confidence-based ensemble approach to using individual models with no selection, to an oracle that always selects the best model and to a random model selector.

Simultaneous Separation and Transcription of Mixtures with Multiple Polyphonic and Percussive Instruments

no code implementations22 Oct 2019 Ethan Manilow, Prem Seetharaman, Bryan Pardo

We present a single deep learning architecture that can both separate an audio recording of a musical mixture into constituent single-instrument recordings and transcribe these instruments into a human-readable format at the same time, learning a shared musical representation for both tasks.

Bootstrapping single-channel source separation via unsupervised spatial clustering on stereo mixtures

no code implementations6 Nov 2018 Prem Seetharaman, Gordon Wichern, Jonathan Le Roux, Bryan Pardo

These estimates, together with a weighting scheme in the time-frequency domain, based on confidence in the separation quality, are used to train a deep learning model that can be used for single-channel separation, where no source direction information is available.
