• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel modelling approach for textures, combining recurrent neural networks trained at different levels of abstraction with a conditioning strategy that allows for user-directed synthesis. We demonstrate the model's performance on a variety of datasets, examine its performance on various metrics, and discuss some potential applications.

• Abstract: Audio textures are a subset of environmental sounds, often defined as having stable statistical characteristics within an adequately large window of time but may be unstructured locally. They include common everyday sounds such as from rain, wind, and engines. Given that these complex sounds contain patterns on multiple timescales, they are a challenge to model with traditional methods. We introduce a novel modelling approach for textures, combining recurrent neural networks trained at different levels of abstraction with a conditioning strategy that allows for user-directed synthesis. We demonstrate the model's performance on a variety of datasets, examine its performance on various metrics, and discuss some potential applications.

  We propose Audio-Visual Lightweight ITerative model (AVLIT) to perform audio-visual speech separation in noisy environments. Our architecture consists of an audio branch and a video branch, with iterative A-FRCNN blocks sharing weights for each modality. Experiments demonstrate the superiority of our model in both settings with respect to various audio-only and audio-visual baselines.

  Non-stationary textures have large scale variance and can hardly be synthesized through one model. We propose a multi-scale generator to capture structural patterns of various scales and effectively synthesize textures with a minor cost. We present a category-specific training strategy to focus on learning texture pattern of a specific domain.

  We propose a new text-to-speech system based on deep convolutional neural networks that does not employ any RNN components (recurrent units) At the same time, we improve the generality and robustness of our model through a series of data augmentation methods such as Time Warping, Frequency Mask, and Time Mask. The final experimental results show that the TTS model using only the CNN component can reduce the training time compared to the classic TTS models such as Tacotron.
