Publication number: 20250259639Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, systems, and/or devices that are configured to separate multi-source audio signal samples into discrete source separated channel audio samples using trained multi-modal audio source channelization models. Multi-source audio signal samples are difficult to separate because they can include multiple target audio sources (e.g., individual speakers) that are often inter-mixed and overlaid with other audio sources such as noise, music, reverberations, and other audio artifacts. The multi-modal audio source channelization models discussed herein are trained to generate source separated channel audio samples based on audio signal samples and on video signal samples.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Bibo GAO, Wenshun TIAN, Michael LESTER, Daniel LAW, Yichong YAN
