Two bucket list items this weekend: @supergrasshq.bsky.social yesterday at Citizens House of Blues, and Pulp tonight at Suffolk Downs. Both as fresh as ever and amazingly good 🫶

A beautiful double rainbow over Boston yesterday🌈🌈
Good occasion to recommend Veritasium's great video on rainbows⬇️

#ICASSP2025 was pretty fun! Lots of good conversations and connections. Jet lag totally killed my sleep for the whole week, but now I know you can survive on 15 hours of sleep over 5 days, and at least I'm still almost on Boston time🤗

On my way to Hyderabad and #ICASSP2025. Looking forward to catching up with many friends! Sadly not as many as usual given that <50% of participants could get a visa 😅
I'm chairing 3 sessions (SLP-P3, AASP-P8, AASP-L6) and presenting 1 paper (in AASP-L3), good places to find me if you want to chat🤗

I bet not many have ever seen this: a set of CDs for the legendary WSJ0 dataset🤩

Otherwise, this one is my personal recommendation for what to spend all your remaining JPY at the airport. Absolutely awesome🤤
(They have a shop in Boston on Newbury Street. 2.7x price though 😭)

There are tons of delicious Japanese snacks. This one is a new favorite: Wasabi flavored Kit Kat. It tastes as delicious as it sounds awful😂

We're sad to bid farewell to Kevin Wilkinghoff at the end of his 6-month stay as a visiting research scientist at MERL🍻
We learned a lot and had a great time🤗

As you can see from the thread below, I'm a fan of crazy Japanese vending machines, but one entry I didn't have on my bingo card was whale meat 🐳 / kujira, with quite the variety too 🤯

We're sad to bid farewell to Janek Ebbers, going back to Germany at the end of his very productive 1-year visiting research scientist stint at MERL! Lots of papers and beers🍻

I was wondering if it was getting older that made me more sensitive to other cars' glare, but no: headlight brightness had doubled since 2015🤯
It's getting insane.

The prompting unified model outperforms the conventional unified model on all tasks, but not specialist models at Medium scale. As the unified model can leverage larger-scale data, we find it benefits from a larger model, then outperforming specialist models on some datasets.

This enables our TUSS model to handle all the major separation tasks, training a single model on all datasets: speech enhancement (SE), speech separation (SS), universal source separation (USS), music source separation (MSS), and cinematic audio source separation (CASS).

We propose a task-aware unified source separation (TUSS) model, which uses a variable number of learnable prompts to specify which source to separate, and changes its behavior depending on the given prompts.
