Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method called Hodge and Podge for sound event detection. We demonstrate Hodge and Podge on the dataset of Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events (DCASE) 2019 Challenge Task 4. This task aims to predict the presence or absence and the onset and offset times of sound events in home environments. Sound event detection is challenging due to the lack of large scale real strongly labeled data. Recently deep semi-supervised learning (SSL) has proven to be effective in modeling with weakly labeled and unlabeled data. This work explores how to extend deep SSL to result in a new, state-of-the-art sound event detection method called Hodge and Podge. With convolutional recurrent neural networks (CRNN) as the backbone network, first, a multi-scale squeeze-excitation mechanism is introduced and added to generate a pyramid squeeze-excitation CRNN. The pyramid squeeze-excitation layer can pay attention to the issue that different sound events have different durations, and to adaptively recalibrate channel-wise spectrogram responses. Further, in order to remedy the lack of real strongly labeled data problem, we propose multi-hot MixMatch and composition consistency training with temporal-frequency augmentation. Our experiments with the public DCASE2019 challenge task 4 validation data resulted in an event-based F-score of 43.4\%, and is about absolutely 1.6\% better than state-of-the-art methods in the challenge. While the F-score of the official baseline is 25.8\%.

Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1 Technical Report

Recently, large language model (LLM) based ASR models have achieved significant progress, yet they generally lack support for multi-speaker scenarios, where the cocktail party problem remains a critical bottleneck for further advancing ASR. Existing TS-ASR methods, including end-to-end architectures with speaker embeddings and latest LLM-based explorations suffer from degraded single-speaker performance and the inability to reject when the target speaker is absent. In this paper, we propose Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1, an LLM-based end-to-end TS-ASR architecture. By utilizing reference speech as voiceprint prompts, it directly transcribes the target speaker's speech without requiring speech separation. Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1 maintains competitive performance in single-speaker scenarios, comparable to mainstream ASR models. It also features a negative sample rejection capability, outputting empty text when the target speaker is absent from the mixed speech. Additionally, Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1 supports a Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning mode to provide explicit reasoning steps. Extensive experiments on various synthetic and real-world multispeaker benchmarks demonstrate that Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1 achieves state-of-the-art performance, effectively addressing the cocktail party problem through a unified architecture that balances multispeaker and single-speaker recognition accuracy, along with rejection capability.

EConv-TasNet: Efficient Conv-TasNet for Effective Speech Separation

Conv-TasNet has served as a strong baseline for time-domain speech separation, and many studies have extended it with advanced architectures such as dual-path networks, U-Nets, and attention mechanisms. However, these methods often introduce high computational cost and complexity, limiting their deployment in resource-constrained scenarios. To address this issue, we propose eConv-TasNet, an efficient variant of Conv-TasNet that improves both effectiveness and efficiency without relying on resource-intensive modules. The proposed model consists of a group-wise early-splitting (GES) module and a multi-group feature aggregation (MGFA) module. GES generates discriminative speaker embeddings at intermediate stages, while MGFA progressively aggregates these group-level representations for refined mask estimation. Experimental results show that eConv-TasNet reduces model size by 22.4%, accelerates inference by 18.9%, and improves SI-SNRi by 14.0%-28.0% across three public benchmarks. Moreover, it achieves competitive performance compared with state-of-the-art methods while requiring significantly fewer parameters and lower inference cost. These results demonstrate a favorable efficiency-effectiveness trade-off for edge deployment.
