SPGM: Prioritizing Local Features for enhanced speech separation performance

1 code implementation22 Sep 2023 Jia Qi Yip, Shengkui Zhao, Yukun Ma, Chongjia Ni, Chong Zhang, Hao Wang, Trung Hieu Nguyen, Kun Zhou, Dianwen Ng, Eng Siong Chng, Bin Ma

Dual-path is a popular architecture for speech separation models (e. g. Sepformer) which splits long sequences into overlapping chunks for its intra- and inter-blocks that separately model intra-chunk local features and inter-chunk global relationships.

MossFormer: Pushing the Performance Limit of Monaural Speech Separation using Gated Single-Head Transformer with Convolution-Augmented Joint Self-Attentions

1 code implementation23 Feb 2023 Shengkui Zhao, Bin Ma

To effectively solve the indirect elemental interactions across chunks in the dual-path architecture, MossFormer employs a joint local and global self-attention architecture that simultaneously performs a full-computation self-attention on local chunks and a linearised low-cost self-attention over the full sequence.
