• Abstract: We propose a method for joint multichannel speech dereverberation with two spatial-aware tasks: direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and speech separation. The proposed method addresses involved tasks as a sequence to sequence mapping problem, which is general enough for a variety of front-end speech enhancement tasks. The proposed method is inspired by the excellent sequence modeling capability of bidirectional encoder representation from transformers (BERT). Instead of utilizing explicit representations from pretraining in a self-supervised manner, we utilizes transformer encoded hidden representations in a supervised manner. Both multichannel spectral magnitude and spectral phase information of varying length utterances are encoded. Experimental result demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  We propose MA-AVT, a new parameter-efficient audio-visual transformer employing deep modality alignment for multimodal semantic features. Specifically, we introduce joint unimodal and multimodal token learning for aligning the two modalities with a frozen modality-shared transformer. Unlike prior work that only aligns coarse features from the output of unimodal encoders, we introduce blockwise contrastive learning to align coarse-to-fine-grain hierarchical features.
