• Title: On Data Sampling Strategies for Training Neural Network Speech Separation Models
• Authors: William Ravenscroft and Stefan Goetze and Thomas Hain
• Abstract summary: Speech separation is an important area of multi-speaker signal processing. Deep neural network (DNN) models have attained the best performance on many speech separation benchmarks. Some of these models can take significant time to train and have high memory requirements. Previous work has proposed shortening training examples to address these issues but the impact of this on model performance is not yet well understood.

• Abstract: Speech separation remains an important area of multi-speaker signal processing. Deep neural network (DNN) models have attained the best performance on many speech separation benchmarks. Some of these models can take significant time to train and have high memory requirements. Previous work has proposed shortening training examples to address these issues but the impact of this on model performance is not yet well understood. In this work, the impact of applying these training signal length (TSL) limits is analysed for two speech separation models: SepFormer, a transformer model, and Conv-TasNet, a convolutional model. The WJS0-2Mix, WHAMR and Libri2Mix datasets are analysed in terms of signal length distribution and its impact on training efficiency. It is demonstrated that, for specific distributions, applying specific TSL limits results in better performance. This is shown to be mainly due to randomly sampling the start index of the waveforms resulting in more unique examples for training. A SepFormer model trained using a TSL limit of 4.42s and dynamic mixing (DM) is shown to match the best-performing SepFormer model trained with DM and unlimited signal lengths. Furthermore, the 4.42s TSL limit results in a 44% reduction in training time with WHAMR.

  We propose modeling changes at the logits level during post-training using a separate neural network (i.e., the value network) After training this network on a small base model using demonstrations, this network can be seamlessly integrated with other pre-trained models during inference. We demonstrate that the resulting value network has broad transferability across pre-trained models of different parameter sizes.

The results of my study show that, on this small dataset, using a pre-trained ResNet50 SWSL model gives results that are 7.4% better than applying an ImageNet pre-trained model.
