Abstract: Improvements in speed and reductions in computational resource expenditure are realized in the improved tuning of hyperparameters for machine learning processes. To ensure that the values selected for hyperparameters are tuned appropriately, but quickly, several rounds of optimization are performed, each with as many or more iterations of cross-validation than prior rounds; cutting short the analysis unpromising results to devote more time and resources in analyzing promising value sets. The results are used to build suggested sets of hyperparameter values for that round, which are also cross-validated and enable the tuning process to incorporate previous operations to improve its value sets. The most promising sets of hyperparameter values from each round are selected as the basis set for the next round until a final set of values for the hyperparameters is developed.

Abstract: The techniques described herein improve methods to equip a computing device to conduct automatic speech recognition (“ASR”) in talker-independent multi-talker scenarios. In some examples, permutation invariant training of deep learning models can be used for talker-independent multi-talker scenarios. In some examples, the techniques can determine a permutation-considered assignment between a model's estimate of a source signal and the source signal. In some examples, the techniques can include training the model generating the estimate to minimize a deviation of the permutation-considered assignment. These techniques can be implemented into a neural network's structure itself, solving the label permutation problem that prevented making progress on deep learning based techniques for speech separation. The techniques discussed herein can also include source tracing to trace streams originating from a same source through the frames of a mixed signal.
