• Title: tinyCLAP: Distilling Constrastive Language-Audio Pretrained Models
• Authors: Francesco Paissan, Elisabetta Farella,
• Abstract summary: This paper investigates how we can reduce the complexity of contrastive language-audio pre-trained models. We derive an unimodal distillation loss from first principles and explore how the dimensionality of the shared, multimodal latent space can be reduced. TinyCLAP uses only 6% of the original Microsoft CLAP parameters with a minimal reduction (less than 5%) in zero-shot classification performance.

• Abstract: Contrastive Language-Audio Pretraining (CLAP) became of crucial importance in the field of audio and speech processing. Its employment ranges from sound event detection to text-to-audio generation. However, one of the main limitations is the considerable amount of data required in the training process and the overall computational complexity during inference. This paper investigates how we can reduce the complexity of contrastive language-audio pre-trained models, yielding an efficient model that we call tinyCLAP. We derive an unimodal distillation loss from first principles and explore how the dimensionality of the shared, multimodal latent space can be reduced via pruning. TinyCLAP uses only 6% of the original Microsoft CLAP parameters with a minimal reduction (less than 5%) in zero-shot classification performance across the three sound event detection datasets on which it was tested

  evaluating machine-generated audio captions is a complex task that requires considering diverse factors. We propose CLAIR-A, a simple and flexible method that leverages the zero-shot capabilities of large language models. In our evaluations, CLAIR-A better predicts human judgements of quality compared to traditional metrics.

  Contrastive language-audio pretraining(CLAP) has been developed to align the representations of audio and language. We introduce T-CLAP, a temporal-enhanced CLAP model, to capture temporal information within audio and text features. T-CLAP shows improved capability in capturing the temporal relationship of sound events and outperforms state-of-the-art models by a significant margin.

  We show that eliminating the temporal redundancy in the input audio features could be an effective approach for efficient audio classification. We propose a family of simple pooling front-ends (SimPFs) which use simple non-parametric pooling operations to reduce the redundant information. SimPFs can achieve a reduction in more than half of the number of floating point operations for off-the-shelf audio neural networks.

  We propose a novel personalized speech enhancement method to adapt a compact denoising model to the test-time specificity. Our goal in this test-time adaptation is to utilize no clean speech target of the test speaker. Instead of the missing clean utterance target, we distill the more advanced denoising results from an overly large teacher model.
