• Abstract: Streaming models are an essential component of real-time speech enhancement tools. The streaming regime constrains speech enhancement models to use only a tiny context of future information. As a result, the low-latency streaming setup is generally considered a challenging task and has a significant negative impact on the model's quality. However, the sequential nature of streaming generation offers a natural possibility for autoregression, that is, utilizing previous predictions while making current ones. The conventional method for training autoregressive models is teacher forcing, but its primary drawback lies in the training-inference mismatch that can lead to a substantial degradation in quality. In this study, we propose a straightforward yet effective alternative technique for training autoregressive low-latency speech enhancement models. We demonstrate that the proposed approach leads to stable improvement across diverse architectures and training scenarios.

  We consider a model-based reinforcement learning algorithm that infers the system dynamics from the available data and performs policy optimization on imaginary model rollouts. This approach is vulnerable to exploiting model errors which can lead to catastrophic failures on the real system. We show that better performance can be obtained with a single well-calibrated autoregressive model on the D4RL benchmark.

• Learning to Learn Transferable Attack [77.67399621530052]
  Transfer adversarial attack is a non-trivial black-box adversarial attack that aims to craft adversarial perturbations on the surrogate model and then apply such perturbations to the victim model. We propose a Learning to Learn Transferable Attack (LLTA) method, which makes the adversarial perturbations more generalized via learning from both data and model augmentation. Empirical results on the widely-used dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our attack method with a 12.85% higher success rate of transfer attack compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

  We introduce Powerpropagation, a new weight- parameterisation for neural networks that leads to inherently sparse models. Models trained in this manner exhibit similar performance, but have a distribution with markedly higher density at zero, allowing more parameters to be pruned safely. Here, we combine Powerpropagation with a traditional weight-pruning technique as well as recent state-of-the-art sparse-to-sparse algorithms, showing superior performance on the ImageNet benchmark.
