Speech Enhancement using the Wave-U-Net with Spectral Losses
Creators: name: Bedoya Molina, Jose David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: Speech Enhancement; Wave-U-Net; Spectral Loss

description: Speech enhancement and source separation are related tasks that aim to extract and/or improve a signal of interest from a recording that may involve sounds from various sources, reverberation, and/or degradation of capture quality. Taking into account that the Wave-U-Net is an end-to-end deep learning architecture that has obtained relevant results for the source separation task operating in the time domain, this thesis studies the performance of this architecture for the speech enhancement task in terms of denoising, dereverberation, decoloration, and bandwidth extension. The experiments were conducted using a combination of a noisy version of the Voice Bank Corpus (VCTK) and the Device and Produced Speech dataset (DAPS). In addition to the original framework, variations inspired by relevant deep learning networks for speech enhancement were explored here, of which losses with spectral components presented the most favorable e˙ects for the improvement of low-quality speech signals. Also, the concatenation of the input audio with a noise vector in the network was shown to generate more coherent high-frequency content in the output signal.

description: We study a class of quantum spin systems in the mean-field setting of the complete graph. For spin $S=\tfrac12$ the model is the Heisenberg ferromagnet, for general spin $S\in\tfrac12\mathbb{N}$ it has a probabilistic representation as a cycle-weighted interchange process. We determine the free energy and the critical temperature (recovering results by Tóth and by Penrose when $S=\tfrac12$). The critical temperature is shown to coincide (as a function of $S$) with that of the $q=2S+1$ state classical Potts model, and the phase transition is discontinuous when $S\geq1$.

EELISA InnoCORE
Toolkit

description: The OS Strategic Planning and Implementation Guide sets the stage for the EELISA InnoCORE partners to re-think strategic planning and implementation of OS by following a common approach. The document presents a journey to OS adoption building upon a common framework and a dedicated toolbox. Firstly, we lay the foundation for a common methodological approach to understanding OS proficiency. OS scores were computed and used to profile the members of the partnership. Following the findings of the preliminary quantitative analysis, three phases of OS adoption were identified and described: Learning, Support, and Growth phases. Each of the three phases is accompanied by a set of descriptors. OS descriptors are statements that describe organisational behaviours and actions which indicate that the institution concerned has achieved a certain level of proficiency with regard to OS. OS descriptors complement OS scores to allow for a more comprehensive analysis. Consequently, three broad institutional profiles have been created: OS Learners; OS Achievers and OS Experiencers. There are several ways to use the descriptors. Therefore, an OS Journey has been imagined and described as a multi-stage process to help the partners to achieve OS adoption. The stages are chronologically presented; however, each HEI can decide on the path to take and start in the way they deem most appropriate for their context. Together with the OS scores, the descriptors can be used for diagnosis purposes, planning, implementation and reassessment, consistently informing the whole process of boosting organisational OS proficiency. Considering these arguments, the descriptors were integrated into an OS Action Plan (OSAP) Template. The OSAP and the bank of descriptors should be seen as a compass guiding planning, implementation, and assessment, rather than a to-do list. In this view, the partners will use the OSAP Template as a toolbox from which to pick and combine the most relevant elements considering the level of OS implementation and their specific context. For illustrative purposes, the Guide introduces a case study of the use of descriptors and other additional tools. The Guide concludes with a presentation of mutual activities to be further considered.

description: What characterises a solid is its way to respond to external stresses. Ordered solids, such crystals, display an elastic regime followed by a plastic one, both well understood microscopically in terms of lattice distortion and dislocations. For amorphous solids the situation is instead less clear, and the microscopic understanding of the response to deformation and stress is a very active research topic. Several studies have revealed that even in the elastic regime the response is very jerky at low temperature, resembling very much the one of disordered magnetic materials. Here we show that in a very large class of amorphous solids this behaviour emerges by decreasing the temperature as a phase transition where standard elastic behaviour breaks down. At the transition all non-linear elastic modulii diverge and standard elasticity theory does not hold anymore. Below the transition the response to deformation becomes history and time-dependent.

On Loss Functions for Music Source Separation

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: Music Source Separation; Deep Learning for Audio; Loss Functions

description: Despite that L1 and L2 loss functions do not represent any perceptually-related information besides waveform-matching, these achieve remarkable results when used to train music source separation models. Our work contributes in extending the existing literature on loss functions for training deep learning audio models — to keep understanding of the pros and cons of several loss functions (including: L1, L2 and perceptually motivated losses) in a standardized evaluation framework. In this work we focus on defining an evaluation framework for a fair comparison among losses — because we found diÿcult to extract conclusions out of the existing body of literature. Generally, loss improvements are presented along with additional model modifications (e.g. di˙erent data augmentation, or di˙erent model topology), making it diÿcult to assess the loss contribution to the results. This study focus on standardizing the evaluation process via employing the same dataset, the same data augmentation strategy and the same model topology — while varying its loss. The alternative losses we consider are based on cross-entropy, scale invariant SDR, multi-resolution STFT, and phase sensitive losses among others.

description: With about 2000 extrasolar planets confirmed, the results show that planetary systems have a whole range of unexpected properties. We present a full investigation of the HD219828 system, a bright metal-rich star for which a hot neptune has previously been detected. We used a set of HARPS, SOPHIE, and ELODIE radial velocities to search for the existence of orbiting companions to HD219828. A dynamical analysis is also performed to study the stability of the system and to constrain the orbital parameters and planet masses. We announce the discovery of a long period (P=13.1years) massive (msini=15.1MJup) companion (HD219828c) in a very eccentric orbit (e=0.81). The same data confirms the existence of a hot-neptune, HD219828b, with a minimum mass of 21 MEarth and a period of 3.83days. The dynamical analysis shows that the system is stable. The HD219828 system is extreme and unique in several aspects. First, among all known exoplanet systems it presents an unusually high mass ratio. We also show that systems like HD219828, with a hot neptune and a long-period massive companion are more frequent than similar systems with a hot jupiter instead. This suggests that the formation of hot neptunes follows a different path than the formation of their hot jovian counterparts. The high mass, long period, and eccentricity of HD219828c also make it a good target for Gaia astrometry as well as a potential target for atmospheric characterisation, using direct imaging or high-resolution spectroscopy. Astrometric observations will allow us to derive its real mass and orbital configuration. If a transit of HD219828b is detected, we will be able to fully characterise the system, including the relative orbital inclinations. With a clearly known mass, HD219828c may become a benchmark object for the range in between giant planets and brown dwarfs.

description: We discuss the next-to-leading order Taylor expansion of ratios of cumulants of net-baryon number fluctuations. We focus on the relation between the skewness ratio, $S_Bσ_B = χ_3^B/χ_1^B$, and the kurtosis ratio, $κ_Bσ_B^2 =χ_4^B/χ_2^B$. We show that differences in these two cumulant ratios are small for small values of the baryon chemical potential. The next-to-leading order correction to $κ_Bσ_B^2$ however is approximately three times larger than that for $S_Bσ_B$. The former thus drops much more rapidly with increasing beam energy, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$. We argue that these generic patterns are consistent with current data on cumulants of net-proton number fluctuations measured by the STAR Collaboration at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}\ge 19.6$~GeV.

description: The adsorption of single colloidal microparticles (0.5--1 $μ$m radius) at a water-oil interface has been recently studied experimentally using digital holographic microscopy [Kaz \textit{et al., Nat. Mater.}, 2012, \textbf{11}, 138--142]. An initially fast adsorption dynamics driven by capillary forces is followed by an unexpectedly slow relaxation to equilibrium that is logarithmic in time and can span hours or days. The slow relaxation kinetics has been attributed to the presence of surface "defects" with nanoscale dimensions (1--5\,nm) that induce multiple metastable configurations of the contact line perimeter. A kinetic model considering thermally activated transitions between such metastable configurations has been proposed [Colosqui \textit{et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.}, 2013, \textbf{111}, 028302] to predict both the relaxation rate and the crossover point to the slow logarithmic regime. However, the adsorption dynamics observed experimentally before the crossover point has remained unstudied. In this work, we propose a Langevin model that is able to describe the entire adsorption process of single colloidal particles by considering metastable states produced by surface defects and thermal motion of the particle and liquid interface. Invoking the fluctuation dissipation theorem, we introduce a drag term that considers significant dissipative forces induced by thermal fluctuations of the liquid interface. Langevin dynamics simulations based on the proposed adsorption model yield close agreement with experimental observations for different microparticles, capturing the crossover from (fast) capillary driven dynamics to (slow) thermally activated kinetics.

We found three other duplicates of this collection (isolectotypes) at P (P-00740870, P-00740871, P-00740872). Another isolectotype was found at G (G-00099627), which was previously assigned as “type” by Agnes Chase on the sheet; this specimen has not previously been cited in the literature.
 Three fragments of the type collection at US, as cited by Zuloaga & Morrone (2003), are isolectotypes: US-1127279 (barcode 00148501) and US-1445786 (barcode 00148503), both obtained from P, and US-80870 (barcode 00148502) obtained from W. A sheet housed at BAA includes fragments from P (BAA-00002402), which was cited by Zuloaga et al. (1988), and W (BAA-00002332). These fragments are also isolectotypes.

description: Music albums nowadays, can not be conceived without its artwork. Since first used, album artwork importance has changed. In our digital era, audiovisual content is everywhere and of course, regarding music albums, album covers play an important role. Computer Vision has unleashed powerful technologies for image generation,in the last decade, which have been used for lots of different applications. In particular, the main discoveries are Varational Autoencoders (VAEs) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Latest researches on these technologies have contributed to understand and improve them, ac-quiring high quality and complex image generation. In this thesis, we experiment with the latest image generation tools to achieve album artwork generation based on audio sam-ples. We first analyse image generation without audio conditioning for VAEs and the three GAN approaches: vanilla GAN, Least Squares GAN (LSGAN) and Wasserter GAN with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP). Finally, we try the best model, from these experiment but with audio conditioning. Despite being able to generate new album covers without audio conditioning, we do not achieve the final objective of album cover generation based on audio. We finally discuss, which state of the art tools could be reviewed and implemented for this project.

description: Although pathway-specific kinetic theories are fundamentally important to describe and under- stand reversible polymerisation kinetics, they come in principle at a cost of having a large number of system-specific parameters. Here, we construct a dynamical Landau theory to describe the kinetics of activated linear supramolecular self-assembly, which drastically reduces the number of parameters and still describes most of the interesting and generic behavior of the system in hand. This phenomenological approach hinges on the fact that if nucleated, the polymerisation transition resembles a phase transition. We are able to describe hysteresis, overshooting, undershooting and the existence of a lag time before polymerisation takes o?, and pinpoint the conditions required for observing these types of phenomenon in the assembly and disassembly kinetics. We argue that the phenomenological kinetic parameter in our theory is a pathway controller, i.e., it controls the relative weights of the molecular pathways through which self-assembly takes place.

description: The issue of identifiers is crucial in distributed computing. Informally, identities are used for tackling two of the fundamental difficulties that areinherent to deterministic distributed computing, namely: (1) symmetry breaking, and (2) topological information gathering. In the context of local computation, i.e., when nodes can gather information only from nodes at bounded distances, some insight regarding the role of identities has been established. For instance, it was shown that, for large classes of construction problems, the role of the identities can be rather small. However, for theidentities to play no role, some other kinds of mechanisms for breaking symmetry must be employed, such as edge-labeling or sense of direction. When it comes to local distributed decision problems, the specification of the decision task does not seem to involve symmetry breaking. Therefore, it is expected that, assuming nodes can gather sufficient information about their neighborhood, one could get rid of the identities, without employing extra mechanisms for breaking symmetry. We tackle this question in the framework of the $\local$ model. Let $\LD$ be the class of all problems that can be decided in a constant number of rounds in the $\local$ model. Similarly, let $\LD^*$ be the class of all problems that can be decided at constant cost in the anonymous variant of the $\local$ model, in which nodes have no identities, but each node can get access to the (anonymous) ball of radius $t$ around it, for any $t$, at a cost of $t$. It is clear that $\LD^*\subseteq \LD$. We conjecture that $\LD^*=\LD$. In this paper, we give several evidences supporting this conjecture. In particular, we show that it holds for hereditary problems, as well as when the nodes know an arbitrary upper bound on the total number of nodes. Moreover, we prove that the conjecture holds in the context of non-deterministic local decision, where nodes are given certificates (independent of the identities, if they exist), and the decision consists in verifying these certificates. In short, we prove that $\NLD^*=\NLD$.

Online Music Preferences of Different Generations: an Acoustic Perspective

Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Music preference, Acoustic feature, Social generations

description: The relationship between music preferences with age is an interesting but rarely
 studied topic. The limited relevant research mostly concentrated on the musical
 genre level or a certain age group. In this thesis, we study the music preferences
 of different generations from an acoustic perspective, intending to understand the
 differences and trends in the various music tastes. We jointly took advantage of the
 LFM-1b dataset, MusicBrainz, and AcousticBrainz to collect the user’s listening
 events and acoustic information. F-test feature selection and support vector machines
 were then used to analyze the correlation between generations’ preferences
 and acoustic features. We finally found the most relevant acoustic features and revealed
 their trends along with the generation changing. For example, the younger
 listeners tend to listen to songs that are spectrally more complex, while the older
 listeners show more interest in “sad” music. We further interpreted these features,
 attempting to understand the reasons for these trends. Our findings suggested that
 some previously observed genre preferences of relevant work were associated with
 these acoustic features. Therefore, this thesis provides a new perspective for the
 study on music preferences and age.

description: Factor Analysis (FA) is a technique of fundamental importance that is widely used in classical and modern multivariate statistics, psychometrics and econometrics. In this paper, we revisit the classical rank-constrained FA problem, which seeks to approximate an observed covariance matrix ($\boldsymbolΣ$), by the sum of a Positive Semidefinite (PSD) low-rank component ($\boldsymbolΘ$) and a diagonal matrix ($\boldsymbolΦ$) (with nonnegative entries) subject to $\boldsymbolΣ- \boldsymbolΦ$ being PSD. We propose a flexible family of rank-constrained, nonlinear Semidefinite Optimization based formulations for this task. We introduce a reformulation of the problem as a smooth optimization problem with convex compact constraints and propose a unified algorithmic framework, utilizing state of the art techniques in nonlinear optimization to obtain high-quality feasible solutions for our proposed formulation. At the same time, by using a variety of techniques from discrete and global optimization, we show that these solutions are certifiably optimal in many cases, even for problems with thousands of variables. Our techniques are general and make no assumption on the underlying problem data. The estimator proposed herein, aids statistical interpretability, provides computational scalability and significantly improved accuracy when compared to current, publicly available popular methods for rank-constrained FA. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal on an array of synthetic and real-life datasets. To our knowledge, this is the first paper that demonstrates how a previously intractable rank-constrained optimization problem can be solved to provable optimality by coupling developments in convex analysis and in discrete optimization.

description: Welchen (un)intendierten Einfluss haben ‚Organisationen‘ auf das soziologisch begründbare Interesse ihrer Mitglieder, Dinge erstens überhaupt und zweitens in bestimmten Erledigungs-Modi zu tun? Diese übergreifende Fragestellung wird in der Form einer theoretischen ex post-Reflektion bzw. Reinterpretation mehrjähriger empirischer Forschung zur ‚managerialen Governance akademischer Lehrtätigkeit‘ an deutschen Hochschulen beantwortet. Dazu wird vorwiegend auf die bourdieusche Sozialtheorie im Allgemeinen und dessen Interesse(n)-Begriff im Speziellen rekurriert, um zunächst zu rekonstruieren, wie die akademische Lehrpraxis nolens volens – d.h. ohne oder jenseits gezielter Interventionsmaßnahmen durch ein Hochschul-Management – schon immer sozial organisiert ist. Darauf aufbauend werden dann forscherische Erkenntnisse und (Praxis-)adäquate Vorschläge zur sozialen Organisierbarkeit des Interesses von ProfessorInnen zu lehren, wie sie lehren, diskutiert. Im Sinne Bourdieus gilt es dabei die axiomatischen Reduktionen und Auslassungen jener ‚ökonomischen‘ (Organisations-)Theorien zu identifizieren, zu kompensieren oder zu vermeiden, welche ideologisch dafür instrumentalisiert wurden, die bisherige Hochschulbinnenorganisations-Reform nach Maßgabe des New Public Management (NPM) zu gestalten. Mit der vorliegenden Abhandlung ergeben sich dann auch organisationssoziologische Verallgemeinerungsprofite durch Denkfiguren, welche zwar am spezifischen Fall der ‚Hochschulorganisation‘ entwickelt bzw. auf diesen angewendet wurden und dennoch darüber hinwegverweisen sollen: eine ‚Soziologie der Organisation von Interessen(freiheit)‘.

Circular Coloring of Random Graphs: Statistical Physics Investigation

description: Circular coloring is a constraints satisfaction problem where colors are assigned to nodes in a graph in such a way that every pair of connected nodes has two consecutive colors (the first color being consecutive to the last). We study circular coloring of random graphs using the cavity method. We identify two very interesting properties of this problem. For sufficiently many color and sufficiently low temperature there is a spontaneous breaking of the circular symmetry between colors and a phase transition forwards a ferromagnet-like phase. Our second main result concerns 5-circular coloring of random 3-regular graphs. While this case is found colorable, we conclude that the description via one-step replica symmetry breaking is not sufficient. We observe that simulated annealing is very efficient to find proper colorings for this case. The 5-circular coloring of 3-regular random graphs thus provides a first known example of a problem where the ground state energy is known to be exactly zero yet the space of solutions probably requires a full-step replica symmetry breaking treatment.

description: Deriving mathematical expressions of two zero modes for a $π$-band tight-binding model, we identify a class of bipartite graphs having the same number of subgraph sites, where each graph represents one of the quasi-hexagonal nanographene molecule with a center vacancy (VANG). Indeed, in a VANG molecule, C$_{60}$H$_{24}$, showing stability in a density-functional simulation at the highest occupied level, there appear two pseudo-degenerate zero modes, a vacancy-centered quasi-localized zero mode, and extending zero mode with a $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$ structure. Since there is a finite energy gap between these two zero-energy modes and the other modes, low-lying states composed of quasi-degenerate zero modes appear as magnetic multiplets. Thus, the unique magnetic characteristics derived in our theory are expected to hold for synthesized VANG molecules in reality.

The preliminary evaluations show that these tools are effective in helping students develop a good grasp of quantum mechanics.
Topological nature of in-gap bound states in disordered large-gap monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides

description: We propose a physical model based on disordered (a hole punched inside a material) monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) to demonstrate a large-gap quantum valley Hall insulator. We find an emergence of bound states lying inside the bulk gap of the TMDs. They are strongly affected by spin-valley coupling, rest- and kinetic- mass terms and the hole size. In addition, in the whole range of the hole size, at least two in-gap bound states with opposite angular momentum, circulating around the edge of the hole, exist. Their topological insulator (TI) feature is analyzed by the Chern number, characterized by spacial distribution of their probabilities and confirmed by energy dispersion curves (Energy vs. angular momentum). It not only sheds light on overcoming low-temperature operating limitation of existing narrow-gap TIs, but also opens an opportunity to realize valley- and spin- qubits.

Subjects: Web Audio; Audio Analysis; Audio Problems

description: Essentia.js, a port of the popular Open-Source C++ library Essentia, comes to the
 web world to become the reference library to use together with the Web Audio
 API. Whilst there are many libraries for audio analysis and feature extraction in
 native computing languages, this Master thesis exposes the need of such a library
 in JavaScript, and proposes Essentia.js as the best option to cover those needs.
 The Music Information Retrieval community needs this tool to be able to develop
 software and research using web technologies, to continue evolving and stay in the
 state of the art.
 Having compiled the C++ library into a JavaScript audio analysis library, a study
 on the efficiency of the library is carried out by benchmarking the execution of
 algorithms available in Essentia.js and comparing them to their equivalents from
 Meyda.js, a library written in JavaScript.
 Also, an application designed to be integrated into a production environment is
 developed using Essentia.js to detect audio problems in music files uploaded to a
 website. Helping improve the efficiency of the quality control process for digital
 music distribution. The difficulties found in the process are enumerated and the
 solution developed is described and demonstrated.
 These steps, described in this Master Thesis, are part of a bigger project by the
 Audio Signal Processing Lab at Music Technology Group of the Universitat Pompeu
 Fabra, to turn Essentia into Essentia.js and ensuring the quality of the library.
