DeepGD: A Multi-Objective Black-Box Test Selection Approach for Deep Neural Networks
Authors:Zohreh Aghababaeyan, Manel Abdellatif, Mahboubeh Dadkhah, Lionel Briand
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are widely used in various application domains such as image processing, speech recognition, and natural language processing. However, testing DNN models may be challenging due to the complexity and size of their input domain. Particularly, testing DNN models often requires generating or exploring large unlabeled datasets. In practice, DNN test oracles, which identify the correct outputs for inputs, often require expensive manual effort to label test data, possibly involving multiple experts to ensure labeling correctness. In this paper, we propose DeepGD, a black-box multi-objective test selection approach for DNN models. It reduces the cost of labeling by prioritizing the selection of test inputs with high fault revealing power from large unlabeled datasets. DeepGD not only selects test inputs with high uncertainty scores to trigger as many mispredicted inputs as possible but also maximizes the probability of revealing distinct faults in the DNN model by selecting diverse mispredicted inputs. The experimental results conducted on four widely used datasets and five DNN models show that in terms of fault-revealing ability: (1) White-box, coverage-based approaches fare poorly, (2) DeepGD outperforms existing black-box test selection approaches in terms of fault detection, and (3) DeepGD also leads to better guidance for DNN model retraining when using selected inputs to augment the training set.

X-SepFormer: End-to-end Speaker Extraction Network with Explicit Optimization on Speaker Confusion
Authors:Kai Liu, Ziqing Du, Xucheng Wan, Huan Zhou
Target speech extraction (TSE) systems are designed to extract target speech from a multi-talker mixture. The popular training objective for most prior TSE networks is to enhance reconstruction performance of extracted speech waveform. However, it has been reported that a TSE system delivers high reconstruction performance may still suffer low-quality experience problems in practice. One such experience problem is wrong speaker extraction (called speaker confusion, SC), which leads to strong negative experience and hampers effective conversations. To mitigate the imperative SC issue, we reformulate the training objective and propose two novel loss schemes that explore the metric of reconstruction improvement performance defined at small chunk-level and leverage the metric associated distribution information. Both loss schemes aim to encourage a TSE network to pay attention to those SC chunks based on the said distribution information. On this basis, we present X-SepFormer, an end-to-end TSE model with proposed loss schemes and a backbone of SepFormer. Experimental results on the benchmark WSJ0-2mix dataset validate the effectiveness of our proposals, showing consistent improvements on SC errors (by 14.8% relative). Moreover, with SI-SDRi of 19.4 dB and PESQ of 3.81, our best system significantly outperforms the current SOTA systems and offers the top TSE results reported till date on the WSJ0-2mix.

MixSpeech: Cross-Modality Self-Learning with Audio-Visual Stream Mixup for Visual Speech Translation and Recognition
Authors:Xize Cheng, Linjun Li, Tao Jin, Rongjie Huang, Wang Lin, Zehan Wang, Huangdai Liu, Ye Wang, Aoxiong Yin, Zhou Zhao
Multi-media communications facilitate global interaction among people. However, despite researchers exploring cross-lingual translation techniques such as machine translation and audio speech translation to overcome language barriers, there is still a shortage of cross-lingual studies on visual speech. This lack of research is mainly due to the absence of datasets containing visual speech and translated text pairs. In this paper, we present \textbf{AVMuST-TED}, the first dataset for \textbf{A}udio-\textbf{V}isual \textbf{Mu}ltilingual \textbf{S}peech \textbf{T}ranslation, derived from \textbf{TED} talks. Nonetheless, visual speech is not as distinguishable as audio speech, making it difficult to develop a mapping from source speech phonemes to the target language text. To address this issue, we propose MixSpeech, a cross-modality self-learning framework that utilizes audio speech to regularize the training of visual speech tasks. To further minimize the cross-modality gap and its impact on knowledge transfer, we suggest adopting mixed speech, which is created by interpolating audio and visual streams, along with a curriculum learning strategy to adjust the mixing ratio as needed. MixSpeech enhances speech translation in noisy environments, improving BLEU scores for four languages on AVMuST-TED by +1.4 to +4.2. Moreover, it achieves state-of-the-art performance in lip reading on CMLR (11.1\%), LRS2 (25.5\%), and LRS3 (28.0\%).
