Abstract
Sound decomposition models are described. In one or more implementations, a plurality of individual models is generated for respective ones of a plurality of sound sources. The plurality of models is collected to form a universal audio model that is configured to support sound decomposition of sound data through use of one or more of the models. The plurality of models is not generated using a sound source that originated at least a portion of the sound data.
Claims20
A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
- receiving a sound signal originated by one or more sound sources;
- fitting a universal audio model having a collection of individual models of sound sources to sound data associated with the sound signal, the fitting performed by selecting from the models in the collection based on correspondence of the sound data to respective said models, wherein the selecting is performed based on a penalty that encourages the correspondence and use of fewer of models in instances of strong correspondence between a subset of the models and the sound data as opposed to instances of weak correspondence between the subset of the models and the sound data;
- and
- decomposing the sound data using the selected models of the universal audio model.
A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
- receiving sound signals originated from a plurality of sound sources;
- generating a plurality of individual models for respective ones of the plurality of sound sources, the generating comprising determining frequency representations from a plurality of examples of each of the plurality of sound sources;
- and
- collecting the plurality of models to form a universal audio model that is configured to support sound decomposition of a separate instance of sound data through use of one or more of the models, the plurality of models not being generated using a sound source that originated at least a portion of the separate instance of sound data, the universal audio model further configured to utilize generalized training data stored in the universal audio model in the absence of specific training data stored in the universal audio model for the sound decomposition of the separate instance of sound data.
A system comprising:
- at least one module implemented at least partially in hardware and configured to collect a plurality of models to form a universal audio model that is configured to support sound decomposition of sound data through use of one or more of the models;
- and
- one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware and configured to fit the universal audio model to the sound data to decompose the sound data by selecting from the models in the collection using a penalty term that encourages block sparsity.
