Soroll-IA: A Weakly Labeled Audio Dataset for Real-World Industrial Port Monitoring

Abstract

Soroll-IA is a weakly labeled environmental audio dataset recorded in a real-world industrial port environment in Valencia (Spain) using two fixed sensing nodes. The dataset comprises approximately 22 hours of audio segmented into 7,396 clips and covers 26 sound event classes representative of industrial port acoustic activity commonly observed in such environments, such as crane sirens, train movements, traffic, and other logistical and industrial sounds. Recordings were captured under highly challenging acoustic conditions, including strong background noise, long-distance sources, and frequent event overlap. All audio clips were annotated by domain experts following a weak labeling strategy, where tags indicate the presence of sound events within a clip without temporal localization. To account for inter-annotator variability, two ground-truth versions are released: one without cross-validation, where a class is considered present if annotated by at least one expert, and a second, more conservative version based on cross-validation, where agreement by at least two-thirds of the annotators is required. The dataset is intended to support research in audio tagging, weakly supervised sound event detection, and machine learning under realistic industrial acoustic conditions. Benchmark results are provided using two complementary architectures: CNN14 representing high-capacity convolutional models for audio tagging, and MobileNetV2, selected for its suitability in real-time classification on low-resource edge devices. To the best of current knowledge, Soroll-IA constitutes an available dataset dedicated exclusively to industrial port acoustic environments, aiming to foster advances in robust environmental sound analysis for safety-critical and operational monitoring applications. The dataset is available online and collected under Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license.

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.
