Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional sound source separation methods are used, then the separation process is simple, but the accuracy of isolating target sound sources in noisy environments is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs pre-training processes before actual sound source separation to learn scene information and convert embedding vectors. This preliminary learning phase enables the model to adapt to different acoustic environments in advance, improving separation accuracy when processing actual mixed sound sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The system converts a first embedding vector into a second embedding vector based on scene information, effectively changing the parameter representation. This vector transformation adapts the sound source characteristics to specific acoustic scenes, enabling more accurate separation in different environments.
2Measurement precision
If scene-specific adaptation is implemented, then the accuracy of sound source separation improves, but the processing time and computational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
Scene information learning and embedding vector conversion are performed in advance through pre-training processes. This allows the system to quickly adapt to new scenes without extensive processing time during actual sound source separation operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses embedding vectors as compressed representations of sound source characteristics. Instead of processing raw audio data extensively, the model works with these compact vector representations, significantly reducing computational time while maintaining separation accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pre-training processes are performed, then the adaptability to different acoustic scenes improves, but the computational resources and processing steps increase
Solution Approach 1:
The pre-training process is divided into distinct stages: first pre-training for scene information learning, and second pre-training for embedding vector conversion. This segmentation allows the system to tackle different aspects of adaptability in separate, manageable steps rather than attempting to learn everything simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
Embedding vectors serve as an intermediary representation between raw audio data and the final sound source separation output. These vectors capture essential scene-specific characteristics in a compressed form, enabling the model to adapt to different acoustic environments without requiring extensive processing of raw audio data for each scene.
