• Abstract: We introduce a new paradigm for single-channel target source separation where the sources of interest can be distinguished using non-mutually exclusive concepts (e.g., loudness, gender, language, spatial location, etc). Our proposed heterogeneous separation framework can seamlessly leverage datasets with large distribution shifts and learn cross-domain representations under a variety of concepts used as conditioning. Our experiments show that training separation models with heterogeneous conditions facilitates the generalization to new concepts with unseen out-of-domain data while also performing substantially higher than single-domain specialist models. Notably, such training leads to more robust learning of new harder source separation discriminative concepts and can yield improvements over permutation invariant training with oracle source selection. We analyze the intrinsic behavior of source separation training with heterogeneous metadata and propose ways to alleviate emerging problems with challenging separation conditions. We release the collection of preparation recipes for all datasets used to further promote research towards this challenging task.

  Data-Free Meta-Learning (DFML) aims to derive knowledge from a collection of pre-trained models without accessing their original data. Current methods often overlook the heterogeneity among pre-trained models, which leads to performance degradation due to task conflicts. We propose Task Groupings Regularization, a novel approach that benefits from model heterogeneity by grouping and aligning conflicting tasks.

  Training stability is still a lingering concern of generative adversarial networks (GANs) In this paper, we explore a relation network architecture for the discriminator and design a triplet loss which performs better generalization and stability. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that the proposed relation discriminator and new loss can provide significant improvement on variable vision tasks.
