- 适合需要感知质量评估的声音生成与信号处理研究者使用。
波束散射变换系数间的欧氏距离能为计算机视觉、语音和音频处理中的深度逆问题提供有效的感知质量评估梯度。然而，由于其路径数量庞大，作为可微损失函数时计算开销巨大，严重限制了在神经网络训练中的应用。为此，我们提出“基于随机路径的散射变换机器学习”（SCRAPL）：一种用于高效评估多变量散射变换的随机优化方案。我们实现了联合时频散射变换（JTFS），该变换可在多尺度和多速率下解调时频模式，从而精细刻画间歇性听觉纹理。我们将SCRAPL应用于可微数字信号处理（DDSP），具体为颗粒合成器与Roland TR-808鼓机的无监督音色匹配任务。此外，我们提出一种基于重要性采样的初始化启发式方法，使SCRAPL能适配数据集的感知内容，显著提升神经网络的收敛速度与评估性能。代码与音频样本已公开，SCRAPL以Python包形式发布。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The Euclidean distance between wavelet scattering transform coefficients (known as paths) provides informative gradients for perceptual quality assessment of deep inverse problems in computer vision, speech, and audio processing. However, these transforms are computationally expensive when employed as differentiable loss functions for stochastic gradient descent due to their numerous paths, which significantly limits their use in neural network training. Against this problem, we propose "Scattering transform with Random Paths for machine Learning" (SCRAPL): a stochastic optimization scheme for efficient evaluation of multivariable scattering transforms. We implement SCRAPL for the joint time-frequency scattering transform (JTFS) which demodulates spectrotemporal patterns at multiple scales and rates, allowing a fine characterization of intermittent auditory textures. We apply SCRAPL to differentiable digital signal processing (DDSP), specifically, unsupervised sound matching of a granular synthesizer and the Roland TR-808 drum machine. We also propose an initialization heuristic based on importance sampling, which adapts SCRAPL to the perceptual content of the dataset, improving neural network convergence and evaluation performance. We make our code and audio samples available and provide SCRAPL as a Python package.
