DGSNA: Dynamic Generative Scene-based Noise Addition method

Abstract

To ensure the reliable operation of speech systems across diverse environments, noise addition methods have emerged as the standard solution.However, existing methods offer limited coverage of real-world scenes and depend on pre-existing noise libraries and scene metadata.This paper presents prompt-based Dynamic Generative Scene-based Noise Addition (DGSNA), a novel approach driven by generative language models that integrates Dynamic Generation of Scene-based Information (DGSI) with Scene-based Noise Addition for Speech (SNAS).The DGSI module, with a BET (Background, Examples, Task) prompt framework, dynamically generates logic-compliant scene-based information, including scene dimensions, sound sources, and microphone positions, thereby addressing the challenges of scene enumeration and detailed description.Complementing this, the SNAS module employs a Time-Frequency Diffusion-based (TFD) Text-to-Audio model to synthesize scene-specific noise. By integrating this noise with clean speech via Room Impulse Response (RIR) filters, the module streamlines the traditionally labor-intensive process of replicating diverse acoustic environments.Experimental results show that DGSNA significantly enhances the robustness of speech recognition and keyword spotting models, achieving relative improvements of up to 11.32\%. Furthermore, DGSNA is highly compatible with existing noise addition techniques. Our implementation and demonstrations are available at https://dgsna.github.io.

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.
