Biographie

Mirco Ravanelli est professeur adjoint à l'Université Concordia, professeur associé à l'Université de Montréal et membre associé de Mila – Institut québécois d’intelligence artificielle. Lauréat du prix Amazon Research 2022, il est expert en apprentissage profond et en IA conversationnelle, et a publié plus de 60 articles dans ces domaines. Il se concentre principalement sur les nouveaux algorithmes d'apprentissage profond, y compris l'apprentissage autosupervisé, continu, multimodal, coopératif et économe en énergie. Mirco Ravanelli a effectué son postdoctorat à Mila, sous la direction du professeur Yoshua Bengio. Il est notamment le fondateur et le chef de file de SpeechBrain, l'une des boîtes à outils en code source ouvert les plus largement adoptées dans le domaine du traitement de la parole et de l'IA conversationnelle.

In this paper, we explore audio-editing with non-rigid text edits. We show that the proposed editing pipeline is able to create audio edits … (voir plus)that remain faithful to the input audio. We explore text prompts that perform addition, style transfer, and in-painting. We quantitatively and qualitatively show that the edits are able to obtain results which outperform Audio-LDM, a recently released text-prompted audio generation model. Qualitative inspection of the results points out that the edits given by our approach remain more faithful to the input audio in terms of keeping the original onsets and offsets of the audio events.

SpeechBrain is an open-source Conversational AI toolkit based on PyTorch, focused particularly on speech processing tasks such as speech rec… (voir plus)ognition, speech enhancement, speaker recognition, text-to-speech, and much more. It promotes transparency and replicability by releasing both the pre-trained models and the complete"recipes"of code and algorithms required for training them. This paper presents SpeechBrain 1.0, a significant milestone in the evolution of the toolkit, which now has over 200 recipes for speech, audio, and language processing tasks, and more than 100 models available on Hugging Face. SpeechBrain 1.0 introduces new technologies to support diverse learning modalities, Large Language Model (LLM) integration, and advanced decoding strategies, along with novel models, tasks, and modalities. It also includes a new benchmark repository, offering researchers a unified platform for evaluating models across diverse tasks
DASB -- Discrete Audio and Speech Benchmark

Discrete audio tokens have recently gained considerable attention for their potential to connect audio and language processing, enabling the… (voir plus) creation of modern multimodal large language models. Ideal audio tokens must effectively preserve phonetic and semantic content along with paralinguistic information, speaker identity, and other details. While several types of audio tokens have been recently proposed, identifying the optimal tokenizer for various tasks is challenging due to the inconsistent evaluation settings in existing studies. To address this gap, we release the Discrete Audio and Speech Benchmark (DASB), a comprehensive leaderboard for benchmarking discrete audio tokens across a wide range of discriminative tasks, including speech recognition, speaker identification and verification, emotion recognition, keyword spotting, and intent classification, as well as generative tasks such as speech enhancement, separation, and text-to-speech. Our results show that, on average, semantic tokens outperform compression tokens across most discriminative and generative tasks. However, the performance gap between semantic tokens and standard continuous representations remains substantial, highlighting the need for further research in this field.
