Abstract

In new media art creation, the mapping between vision and hearing is often subjective. As a classic carrier of sound visualization, Chladni patterns have great potential in building audio-visual mapping mechanisms. However, existing tools face pain points: high technical barriers for simulation, offline computing failing real-time interaction, and uncontrollable mapping rules in general sonification tools. To address these, this paper proposes ChladniSonify, a real-time visual-acoustic mapping method for Chladni patterns. Based on Kirchhoff-Love plate theory, we build a paired dataset via numerical programming and calibrate it using ANSYS finite element simulation. Focusing on the slender nodal lines of Chladni patterns, we adopt a lightweight CNN with CBAM to achieve high-precision, low-latency pattern classification. Finally, we build an end-to-end system in Python and Max/MSP, mapping recognized patterns to corresponding sine wave frequencies. Results show the system has excellent usability: the classification module achieves 99.33% accuracy on the test set with 7.03 ms inference latency; the mapped frequency matches the theoretical value with zero deviation; the average end-to-end latency is under 50 ms, meeting real-time interactive needs. This work provides a reproducible engineering prototype for Chladni audio-visual art creation.

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.
