GraphIDyOM: A graph-native Python reimplementation of IDyOM for musical expectation modelling

Abstract

The Information Dynamics of Music model (IDyOM) has played a central role in computational accounts of musical expectation by providing event-by-event estimates of uncertainty and surprise from symbolic musical sequences. However, its reference implementation is difficult to integrate with contemporary Python workflows, and its internal memory structures are not easily accessible for inspection or modification. We introduce GraphIDyOM, a graph-native Python reimplementation of IDyOM that represents long-term and short-term predictive memories as explicit graph objects while preserving the model's variable-order, multiple-viewpoint architecture. GraphIDyOM returns event-wise information content and entropy, exposes internal memory structures for analysis and export, and supports access through a local server. We validate the implementation against the original Lisp IDyOM across single, projected, and multiple-viewpoint configurations, and benchmark its coverage and computational performance against a recent reimplementation. We then demonstrate how the explicit memory representation supports network analysis of learned memories, projection of expectation values onto musical networks, recency-sensitive memory retrieval, and interactive applications. GraphIDyOM therefore provides both a faithful and accessible reimplementation of a widely used model and a platform for studying musical expectation through memory, topology, and interaction.

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.
