  • Publication number: 20260321250
    Abstract: A system is programmed to build a machine learning model that comprises a series of masking blocks. Each masking block receives a certain feature vector of an audio segment. Each masking block comprises a first component that generates a first mask for extracting clean speech and a second component that generates a second mask for extracting residual speech masked by the first mask. Each masking block also generates a specific feature vector based on the first mask and the second mask, which becomes the certain feature vector for the next masking block. The second component, which may comprise a gated recurrent unit layer, is computationally less complex than the first component, which may comprise multiple convolutional layers. Furthermore, the system is programmed to receive an input feature vector of an input audio segment and execute the machine learning model to obtain an output feature vector of an output audio segment.

  • Patent number: 12755164
    Abstract: At least one processor identifies dependency relationships among libraries in a repository of libraries. Using the dependency relationships among libraries, at least one machine learning model can be created that predicts with a confidence value a dependency between a given library and a target library. An L layer tree-like graph can be created, using the dependency relationships among libraries and an application package. L can be configurable. Versions of the libraries to use can be determined by running the at least one machine learning model for each pair of nodes having a dependency relationship in the L layer tree-like graph, the at least one machine learning model identifying the dependency relationship with a confidence value, where pairs of nodes having largest confidence values are selected as the versions of the libraries to use in the application package.

  • Publication number: 20260290367
    Abstract: Method and system for generating a set of synthesized AIRs from a real acoustic impulse response, AIR(t), and using the set of synthesized AIRs to train a machine learning model, such that the machine learning model, after training, is configured to generate a de-reverberated audio signal given an input audio signal. The synthesized AIRs are generated by forming an early portion, AIRe(t) and a late portion, AIRl(t) of the real AIR by selecting a random separation time point, s, and a random crossfade duration, d. With the proposed approach, a “soft” separation of the real AIR into an early AIR and a late AIR. Specifically, the early AIR will decay to zero during a transition period d, while the late AIR will gradually increase from zero during the transition period. The sum of the early AIR and late AIR will still be equal to the real AIR.
