Mixture to Mixture: Leveraging Close-talk Mixtures as Weak-supervision for Speech Separation
We propose mixture to mixture (M2M) training, a weakly-supervised neural speech separation algorithm that leverages close-talk mixtures as a weak supervision for training discriminative models to separate far-field mixtures. Our idea is that, for a target speaker, its close-talk mixture has a much higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the target speaker than any far-field mixtures, and hence could be utilized to design a weak supervision for separation. To realize this, at each training step we…

Astronomers detect sudden awakening of black hole 1m times mass of sun
The mysterious brightening of a galaxy far, far away has been traced to the heart of the star system
and the sudden awakening of a giant black hole 1m times more massive than the sun.
Decades of observations found nothing remarkable about the distant galaxy in the constellation of Virgo,
but that changed at the end of 2019 when astronomers noticed a dramatic surge in its luminosity that persists t…

RoboGolf: Mastering Real-World Minigolf with a Reflective Multi-Modality Vision-Language Model
Minigolf, a game with countless court layouts, and complex ball motion, constitutes a compelling real-world testbed for the study of embodied intelligence. As it not only challenges spatial and kinodynamic reasoning but also requires reflective and corrective capacities to address erroneously designed courses. We introduce RoboGolf, a framework that perceives dual-camera visual inputs with nested VLM-empowered closed-loop control and reflective equilibrium loop. Extensive experiments demonstrat…
