  text: 'In this paper we present our system for the Detection and Classification
    of Acoustic Scenes and Events (DCASE) 2021 Challenge Task 4: Sound Event Detection
    and Separation in Domestic Environments, where it scored the fourth rank. Our
    presented solution is an advancement of our system used in the previous edition
    of the task.We use a forward-backward convolutional recurrent neural network (FBCRNN)
    for tagging and pseudo labeling followed by tag-conditioned sound event detection
    (SED) models which are trained using strong pseudo labels provided by the FBCRNN.
    Our advancement over our earlier model is threefold. First, we introduce a strong
    label loss in the objective of the FBCRNN to take advantage of the strongly labeled
    synthetic data during training. Second, we perform multiple iterations of self-training
    for both the FBCRNN and tag-conditioned SED models. Third, while we used only
    tag-conditioned CNNs as our SED model in the previous edition we here explore
    sophisticated tag-conditioned SED model architectures, namely, bidirectional CRNNs
    and bidirectional convolutional transformer neural networks (CTNNs), and combine
    them. With metric and class specific tuning of median filter lengths for post-processing,
    our final SED model, consisting of 6 submodels (2 of each architecture), achieves
    on the public evaluation set poly-phonic sound event detection scores (PSDS) of
    0.455 for scenario 1 and 0.684 for scenario as well as a collar-based F1-score
    of 0.596 outperforming the baselines and our model from the previous edition by
    far. Source code is publicly available at https://github.com/fgnt/pb_sed.'

  text: Recently, there has been a rising interest in sound recognition via Acoustic
    Sensor Networks to support applications such as ambient assisted living or environmental
    habitat monitoring. With state-of-the-art sound recognition being dominated by
    deep-learning-based approaches, there is a high demand for labeled training data.
    Despite the availability of large-scale  data sets such as Google's AudioSet,
    acquiring training data matching a certain application environment is still often
    a problem. In this paper we are concerned with human activity monitoring in a
    domestic environment using an ASN consisting of multiple nodes each providing
    multichannel signals. We propose a self-training based domain adaptation approach,
    which only requires unlabeled data from the target environment. Here, a sound
    recognition system trained on AudioSet, the teacher, generates pseudo labels for
    data from the target environment on which a student network is trained. The student
    can furthermore glean information about the spatial arrangement of sensors and
    sound sources to further improve classification performance. It is shown that  the
    student significantly improves recognition performance over the pre-trained teacher
    without relying on labeled data from the environment the system is deployed in.

  text: One objective of current research in explainable intelligent systems is to
    implement social aspects in order to increase the relevance of explanations. In
    this paper, we argue that a novel conceptual framework is needed to overcome shortcomings
    of existing AI systems with little attention to processes of interaction and learning.
    Drawing from research in interaction and development, we first outline the novel
    conceptual framework that pushes the design of AI systems toward true interactivity
    with an emphasis on the role of the partner and social relevance. We propose that
    AI systems will be able to provide a meaningful and relevant explanation only
    if the process of explaining is extended to active contribution of both partners
    that brings about dynamics that is modulated by different levels of analysis.
    Accordingly, our conceptual framework comprises monitoring and scaffolding as
    key concepts and claims that the process of explaining is not only modulated by
    the interaction between explainee and explainer but is embedded into a larger
    social context in which conventionalized and routinized behaviors are established.
    We discuss our conceptual framework in relation to the established objectives
    of transparency and autonomy that are raised for the design of explainable AI
    systems currently.

  text: 'In recent years time domain speech separation has excelled over frequency
    domain separation in single channel scenarios and noise-free environments. In
    this paper we dissect the gains of the time-domain audio separation network (TasNet)
    approach by gradually replacing components of an utterance-level permutation invariant
    training (u-PIT) based separation system in the frequency domain until the TasNet
    system is reached, thus blending components of frequency domain approaches with
    those of time domain approaches. Some of the intermediate variants achieve comparable
    signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR) gains to TasNet, but retain the advantage of
    frequency domain processing: compatibility with classic signal processing tools
    such as frequency-domain beamforming and the human interpretability of the masks.
    Furthermore, we show that the scale invariant signal-to-distortion ratio (si-SDR)
    criterion used as loss function in TasNet is related to a logarithmic mean square
    error criterion and that it is this criterion which contributes most reliable
    to the performance advantage of TasNet. Finally, we critically assess which gains
    in a noise-free single channel environment generalize to more realistic reverberant
    conditions.'

  text: "Speech activity detection (SAD), which often rests on the fact that the noise
    is \"more'' stationary than speech, is particularly challenging in non-stationary
    environments, because the time variance of the acoustic scene makes it difficult
    to discriminate  speech from noise. We propose two approaches to SAD, where one
    is based on statistical signal processing, while the other utilizes neural networks.
    The former employs sophisticated signal processing to track the noise and speech
    energies and is meant to support the case for a resource efficient, unsupervised
    signal processing approach.\r\nThe latter introduces a recurrent network layer
    that operates on short segments of the input speech to do temporal smoothing in
    the presence of non-stationary noise. The systems are tested on the Fearless Steps
    challenge database, which consists of the transmission data from the Apollo-11
    space mission.\r\nThe statistical SAD  achieves comparable detection performance
    to earlier proposed neural network based SADs, while the neural network based
    approach leads to a decision cost function of 1.07% on the evaluation set of the
    2020 Fearless Steps Challenge, which sets a new state of the art."

  text: The rising interest in single-channel multi-speaker speech separation sparked
    development of End-to-End (E2E) approaches to multispeaker speech recognition.
    However, up until now, state-of-theart neural network–based time domain source
    separation has not yet been combined with E2E speech recognition. We here demonstrate
    how to combine a separation module based on a Convolutional Time domain Audio
    Separation Network (Conv-TasNet) with an E2E speech recognizer and how to train
    such a model jointly by distributing it over multiple GPUs or by approximating
    truncated back-propagation for the convolutional front-end. To put this work into
    perspective and illustrate the complexity of the design space, we provide a compact
    overview of single-channel multi-speaker recognition systems. Our experiments
    show a word error rate of 11.0% on WSJ0-2mix and indicate that our joint time
    domain model can yield substantial improvements over cascade DNN-HMM and monolithic
    E2E frequency domain systems proposed so far.

  text: 'Most approaches to multi-talker overlapped speech separation and recognition
    assume that the number of simultaneously active speakers is given, but in realistic
    situations, it is typically unknown. To cope with this, we extend an iterative
    speech extraction system with mechanisms to count the number of sources and combine
    it with a single-talker speech recognizer to form the first end-to-end multi-talker
    automatic speech recognition system for an unknown number of active speakers.
    Our experiments show very promising performance in counting accuracy, source separation
    and speech recognition on simulated clean mixtures from WSJ0-2mix and WSJ0-3mix.
    Among others, we set a new state-of-the-art word error rate on the WSJ0-2mix database.
    Furthermore, our system generalizes well to a larger number of speakers than it
    ever saw during training, as shown in experiments with the WSJ0-4mix database. '

  text: 'We present an approach to deep neural network based (DNN-based) distance
    estimation in reverberant rooms for supporting geometry calibration tasks in wireless
    acoustic sensor networks. Signal diffuseness information from acoustic signals
    is aggregated via the coherent-to-diffuse power ratio to obtain a distance-related
    feature, which is mapped to a source-to-microphone distance estimate by means
    of a DNN. This information is then combined with direction-of-arrival estimates
    from compact microphone arrays to infer the geometry of the sensor network. Unlike
    many other approaches to geometry calibration, the proposed scheme does only require
    that the sampling clocks of the sensor nodes are roughly synchronized. In simulations
    we show that the proposed DNN-based distance estimator generalizes to unseen acoustic
    environments and that precise estimates of the sensor node positions are obtained. '

  text: Recently, the source separation performance was greatly improved by time-domain
    audio source separation based on dual-path recurrent neural network (DPRNN). DPRNN
    is a simple but effective model for a long sequential data. While DPRNN is quite
    efficient in modeling a sequential data of the length of an utterance, i.e., about
    5 to 10 second data, it is harder to apply it to longer sequences such as whole
    conversations consisting of multiple utterances. It is simply because, in such
    a case, the number of time steps consumed by its internal module called inter-chunk
    RNN becomes extremely large. To mitigate this problem, this paper proposes a multi-path
    RNN (MPRNN), a generalized version of DPRNN, that models the input data in a hierarchical
    manner. In the MPRNN framework, the input data is represented at several (>_ 3)
    time-resolutions, each of which is modeled by a specific RNN sub-module. For example,
    the RNN sub-module that deals with the finest resolution may model temporal relationship
    only within a phoneme, while the RNN sub-module handling the most coarse resolution
    may capture only the relationship between utterances such as speaker information.
    We perform experiments using simulated dialogue-like mixtures and show that MPRNN
    has greater model capacity, and it outperforms the current state-of-the-art DPRNN
    framework especially in online processing scenarios.

  text: 'In this paper we present our system for the detection and classification
    of acoustic scenes and events (DCASE) 2020 Challenge Task 4: Sound event detection
    and separation in domestic environments. We introduce two new models: the forward-backward
    convolutional recurrent neural network (FBCRNN) and the tag-conditioned convolutional
    neural network (CNN). The FBCRNN employs two recurrent neural network (RNN) classifiers
    sharing the same CNN for preprocessing. With one RNN processing a recording in
    forward direction and the other in backward direction, the two networks are trained
    to jointly predict audio tags, i.e., weak labels, at each time step within a recording,
    given that at each time step they have jointly processed the whole recording.
    The proposed training encourages the classifiers to tag events as soon as possible.
    Therefore, after training, the networks can be applied to shorter audio segments
    of, e.g., 200ms, allowing sound event detection (SED). Further, we propose a tag-conditioned
    CNN to complement SED. It is trained to predict strong labels while using (predicted)
    tags, i.e., weak labels, as additional input. For training pseudo strong labels
    from a FBCRNN ensemble are used. The presented system scored the fourth and third
    place in the systems and teams rankings, respectively. Subsequent improvements
    allow our system to even outperform the challenge baseline and winner systems
    in average by, respectively, 18.0% and 2.2% event-based F1-score on the validation
    set. Source code is publicly available at https://github.com/fgnt/pb_sed.'

  text: 'We present a multi-channel database of overlapping speech for training, evaluation,
    and detailed analysis of source separation and extraction algorithms: SMS-WSJ
    -- Spatialized Multi-Speaker Wall Street Journal. It consists of artificially
    mixed speech taken from the WSJ database, but unlike earlier databases we consider
    all WSJ0+1 utterances and take care of strictly separating the speaker sets present
    in the training, validation and test sets. When spatializing the data we ensure
    a high degree of randomness w.r.t. room size, array center and rotation, as well
    as speaker position. Furthermore, this paper offers a critical assessment of recently
    proposed measures of source separation performance. Alongside the code to generate
    the database we provide a source separation baseline and a Kaldi recipe with competitive
    word error rates to provide common ground for evaluation.'

  text: 'We present an unsupervised training approach for a neural network-based mask
    estimator in an acoustic beamforming application. The network is trained to maximize
    a likelihood criterion derived from a spatial mixture model of the observations.
    It is trained from scratch without requiring any parallel data consisting of degraded
    input and clean training targets. Thus, training can be carried out on real recordings
    of noisy speech rather than simulated ones. In contrast to previous work on unsupervised
    training of neural mask estimators, our approach avoids the need for a possibly
    pre-trained teacher model entirely. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach
    by speech recognition experiments on two different datasets: one mainly deteriorated
    by noise (CHiME 4) and one by reverberation (REVERB). The results show that the
    performance of the proposed system is on par with a supervised system using oracle
    target masks for training and with a system trained using a model-based teacher.'

  text: We propose a training scheme to train neural network-based source separation
    algorithms from scratch when parallel clean data is unavailable. In particular,
    we demonstrate that an unsupervised spatial clustering algorithm is sufficient
    to guide the training of a deep clustering system. We argue that previous work
    on deep clustering requires strong supervision and elaborate on why this is a
    limitation. We demonstrate that (a) the single-channel deep clustering system
    trained according to the proposed scheme alone is able to achieve a similar performance
    as the multi-channel teacher in terms of word error rates and (b) initializing
    the spatial clustering approach with the deep clustering result yields a relative
    word error rate reduction of 26% over the unsupervised teacher.

  text: Signal dereverberation using the Weighted Prediction Error (WPE) method has
    been proven to be an effective means to raise the accuracy of far-field speech
    recognition. First proposed as an iterative algorithm, follow-up works have reformulated
    it as a recursive least squares algorithm and therefore enabled its use in online
    applications. For this algorithm, the estimation of the power spectral density
    (PSD) of the anechoic signal plays an important role and strongly influences its
    performance. Recently, we showed that using a neural network PSD estimator leads
    to improved performance for online automatic speech recognition. This, however,
    comes at a price. To train the network, we require parallel data, i.e., utterances
    simultaneously available in clean and reverberated form. Here we propose to overcome
    this limitation by training the network jointly with the acoustic model of the
    speech recognizer. To be specific, the gradients computed from the cross-entropy
    loss between the target senone sequence and the acoustic model network output
    is backpropagated through the complex-valued dereverberation filter estimation
    to the neural network for PSD estimation. Evaluation on two databases demonstrates
    improved performance for on-line processing scenarios while imposing fewer requirements
    on the available training data and thus widening the range of applications.
