Semi-supervised triplet loss based learning of ambient audio embeddings
Speakers: Nicolas Turpault Date: May 05, 2019 at 10:30 – C005 Abstract: Deep neural networks are particularly useful to learn relevant representations from data. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of unsupervised representation learning for ambient sound analysis using various flavors of the triplet loss. They have compared this approach to supervised learning. However, in real …

Expressive Text Driven Audio-Visual Speech Synthesis
Speaker: Sara Dahmani Date: April 29, 2019 Abstract: In recent years, the performance of speech synthesis systems has been improved thanks to deep learning-based models, but generating expressive audiovisual speech is still an open issue. The variational auto-encoders (VAE)s are recently proposed to learn latent representations of data. In this presentation, we present a system …

Hunting Echoes for Auditory Scene Analysis
Speaker: Diego DI CARLO Date: March 21, 2019 at 10:30 – C005 Abstract: Did you remember the Marvel’s movie about the superhero Daredevil? He is blind, but thanks to an enhanced hearing he become a radar-man: he can visualize the sound propagation and so retrieve an image of the surrounding space. This is done blindly, that …

SING: Symbol-to-Instrument Neural Generator
Speaker: Alexandre Défossez Date: January 10, 2019 at 13:00 – B011 Abstract: Recent progress in deep learning for audio synthesis opens the way to models that directly produce the waveform, shifting away from the traditional paradigm of relying on vocoders or MIDI synthesizers for speech or music generation. Despite their successes, current state-of-the-art neural audio synthesizers …
