For Q4 (Why dMel?), we did observe a gap between optimizing the encoder w/ mel-filterbanks v.s. dMel in our recent paper:

Not sure the FSQ in their dMel is actually optimized w.r.t. the training objectives tho.
Check out the recent updates to PGMax, our JAX package for implementing large discrete probabilistic graphical models. It can now solve the smooth dual of LP relaxation of MAP problems orders faster than LP solvers, & more 1/6

Happy to announce this work, an unsupervised speech super-resolution algorithm based on posterior sampling in diffusion models, was accepted at @ieeeICASSP !
We thank all reviewers for reviewing and giving high recognition.
A new way to do audio super-resolution with diffusion models!
Teamed with @30SecToMercury, we introduced a diffusion sampling algorithm for speech super-resolution.

A recent exchange on Twitter made me realize that many may be using tensors without knowing how they are represented in memory, and how it makes some operations super fast.
This is standard stuff common to many tensor libraries, including our beloved @numpy_team and @PyTorch.
My first PhD paper was accepted at INTERSPEECH 2022, an unsupervised co-training model with discrete latents that unifies various self-supervised training methods (e.g., HuBERT).

Can anyone explain if there is a difference between unsupervised and self-supervised learning? To me they seem the same and I find myself using both terms interchangeably (I prefer unsupervised), but I feel like I'm confusing people who understand them to mean different things.
Huge news,
@Microsoft
buys the speech recognition company Nuance, which is the biggest competitor of my former employer. Nuance is purchased for nearly $20B, which seems to be a 2d biggest after

I'm thrilled to announce the public release of #SpeechBrain!
#SpeechBrain is an #opensource toolkit designed to make research and development of #speech technologies faster. It is flexible, modular, easy-to-use, well documented.

Excited to launch torch-metrics - @PyTorch metrics optimized for distributed training at scale.
We thought the lightning metrics could be useful to all @PyTorch users beyond just @PyTorchLightnin :)

A new blog post I wrote with Ishan Misra.
An overview of Self-Supervised Learning.
We look at recent progress in SSL for vision & explain why SSL is more challenging with high-D continuous signals (images, video) than it is for discrete signals (text).

The #SpeechBrain team is working hard to release soon an open-source all-in-one toolkit based on #PyTorch specifically designed for multiple tasks (e.g., #ASR, enhancement, separation, speaker recognition/diarization, multi-mic processing).
