Abstract

In this paper AlimNet (With respect to great musician, Alim Qasimov) an auxiliary generative adversarial deep neural network (ACGAN) for generating music categorically, is used. This proposed network is a conditional ACGAN to condition the generation process on music tracks which has a hybrid architecture, composing of different kind of layers of neural networks. The employed music dataset is MICM which contains 1137 music samples (506 violins and 631 straw) with seven types of classical music Dastgah labels. To extract both temporal and spectral features, Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is applied to convert input audio signals from time domain to time-frequency domain. GANs are composed of a generator for generating new samples and a discriminator to help generator making better samples. Samples in time-frequency domain are used to train discriminator in fourteen classes (seven Dastgahs and two instruments). The outputs of the conditional ACGAN are also artificial music samples in those mentioned scales in time-frequency domain. Then the output of the generator is transformed by Inverse STFT (ISTFT). Finally, randomly ten generated music samples (five violin and five straw samples) are given to ten musicians to rate how exact the samples are and the overall result was 76.5%.

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.
