Abstract

Long-duration passive acoustic deployments produce large archives of recordings that are not linked to vessel tracks or encounter structure, leaving range and contact conditions unavailable as variables and requiring manual selection for analysis. To address this limitation, we propose a database-native workflow that aligns hydrophone recordings with Automatic Identification System (AIS) position reports to produce distance-resolved data. Fixed-duration recording windows and AIS messages are stored as persistent geospatial tables and associated through an indexed spatiotemporal join, replacing in-memory nested iteration with a single scalable set-based database process capable of handling continuous, multi-year, million-window archival deployments without exhausting available memory. In this study, the approach processes approximately 9.5x10e5 recording windows and 6.9x10e6 AIS position reports, producing a structured table that separates no-contact, single-contact, and two-contact windows, with the closest point of approach computed directly where applicable and background conditions characterized via deterministic spectral ranking. This formulation enables a GeoAI framework in which spatially indexed, queryable data become directly usable for machine learning. The resulting data product reveals predominantly noise-dominated conditions, with vessel contributions emerging mainly at shorter ranges, indicating that the task lies in extracting structure under background-limited regimes. Spectrogram and quantitative analyses show weak tonal signatures embedded in noise and a consistent decay of signal-to-noise ratio with distance, supporting the use of this representation for scalable machine learning, similarity analysis, and predictive acoustic modelling in real maritime environments.

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.
