Matthieu KOWALSKI – Low-rank time-frequency synthesis Carte non disponible Date/heure Date(s) - 30 juin 2017 Catégories Pas de Catégories Many single-channel signal decomposition techniques rely on a low-rank factorization of a time-frequency transform. In particular, nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) of the spectrogram the (power) magnitude of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) has been considered in many audio applications. In this setting, NMF with the Itakura-Saito divergence was shown to underly a generative Gaussian composite model (GCM) of the STFT, a step forward from more empirical approaches based on ad-hoc transform and divergence specifications. Still, the GCM is not yet a generative model of the raw signal itself, but only of its STFT. The work presented in this paper fills in this ultimate gap by proposing a novel signal synthesis model with low-rank time-frequency structure. In particular, our new approach opens doors to multi-resolution representations, that were not possible in the traditional NMF setting. We describe expectation-maximization algorithms for estimation in the new model and report audio signal processing results with music decomposition and new approach to the compressive sampling inverse problem, that exploits latent low-rank time-frequency structure instead of sparsity, with superior results for the considered data. http://webpages.lss.supelec.fr/perso/matthieu.kowalski/ Mathieu KOWALSKI [
