• Abstract: This paper focuses on the problem of pitch tracking in noisy conditions. A method using harmonic information in the residual signal is presented. The proposed criterion is used both for pitch estimation, as well as for determining the voicing segments of speech. In the experiments, the method is compared to six state-of-the-art pitch trackers on the Keele and CSTR databases. The proposed technique is shown to be particularly robust to additive noise, leading to a significant improvement in adverse conditions.

Compared with existing methods, SoftPatch maintains a strong modeling ability of normal data and alleviates the overconfidence problem in coreset.

  This study addresses the speech enhancement (SE) task within the causal inference paradigm by modeling the noise presence as an intervention. The proposed causal inference-based speech enhancement (CISE) separates clean and noisy frames in an intervened noisy speech using a noise detector and assigns both sets of frames to two mask-based enhancement modules (EMs) to perform noise-conditional SE.

• Neighborhood Collective Estimation for Noisy Label Identification and Correction [92.20697827784426]
  Learning with noisy labels (LNL) aims at designing strategies to improve model performance and generalization by mitigating the effects of model overfitting to noisy labels. Recent advances employ the predicted label distributions of individual samples to perform noise verification and noisy label correction, easily giving rise to confirmation bias. We propose Neighborhood Collective Estimation, in which the predictive reliability of a candidate sample is re-estimated by contrasting it against its feature-space nearest neighbors.

  Causal inference from observational datasets often relies on measuring and adjusting for covariates. We show that this robust optimization approach can extend a wide range of causal adjustment methods to perform partial identification. Across synthetic and real datasets, we find that this approach provides ATE bounds with a higher coverage probability than existing methods.

  Existing approaches for grammatical error correction (GEC) rely on supervised learning with manually created GEC datasets. There is a non-negligible amount of "noise" where errors were inappropriately edited or left uncorrected. We propose a self-refinement method where the key idea is to denoise these datasets by leveraging the prediction consistency of existing models.
