论文摘要
储层计算是预测湍流的有力工具，其简单的架构具有处理大型系统的计算效率。然而，其实现通常需要完整的状态向量测量和系统非线性知识。我们使用非线性投影函数将系统测量扩展到高维空间，然后将其输入到储层中以获得预测。我们展示了这种储层计算网络在时空混沌系统上的应用，该系统模拟了湍流的若干特征。我们表明，使用径向基函数作为非线性投影器，即使只有部分观测并且不知道控制方程，也能稳健地捕捉复杂的系统非线性。最后，我们表明，当测量稀疏、不完整且带有噪声，甚至控制方程变得不准确时，我们的网络仍然可以产生相当准确的预测，从而为实际湍流系统的无模型预测铺平了道路。
Single channel target speaker separation (TSS) aims at extracting a speaker's voice from a mixture of multiple talkers given an enrollment utterance of that speaker. A typical deep learning TSS framework consists of an upstream model that obtains enrollment speaker embeddings and a downstream model that performs the separation conditioned on the embeddings. In this paper, we look into several important but overlooked aspects of the enrollment embeddings, including the suitability of the widely used speaker identification embeddings, the introduction of the log-mel filterbank and self-supervised embeddings, and the embeddings' cross-dataset generalization capability. Our results show that the speaker identification embeddings could lose relevant information due to a sub-optimal metric, training objective, or common pre-processing. In contrast, both the filterbank and the self-supervised embeddings preserve the integrity of the speaker information, but the former consistently outperforms the latter in a cross-dataset evaluation. The competitive separation and generalization performance of the previously overlooked filterbank embedding is consistent across our study, which calls for future research on better upstream features.
