Abstract

Apparatus and methods related to separation of audio sources are provided. The method includes receiving an audio waveform associated with a plurality of video frames. The method includes estimating, by a neural network, one or more audio sources associated with the plurality of video frames. The method includes generating, by the neural network, one or more audio embeddings corresponding to the one or more estimated audio sources. The method includes determining, based on the audio embeddings and a video embedding, whether one or more audio sources of the one or more estimated audio sources correspond to objects in the plurality of video frames. The method includes predicting, by the neural network and based on the one or more audio embeddings and the video embedding, a version of the audio waveform comprising audio sources that correspond to objects in the plurality of video frames.
