iQuery: Instruments as Queries for Audio-Visual Sound Separation
Abstrak
Current audiovisual separation methods share a standard architecture design where an audio encoder-decoder network is fused with visual encoding features at the encoder bottleneck. This design confounds the learning of multimodal feature encoding with robust sound decoding for audio separation. To generalize to a new instrument, one must finetune the entire visual and audio network for all musical instruments. We re-formulate the visual-sound separation task and propose Instruments as Queries (iQuery) with a flexible query expansion mechanism. Our approach ensures cross-modal consistency and cross-instrument disentanglement. We utilize “visually named” queries to initiate the learning of audio queries and use cross-modal attention to remove potential sound source interference at the estimated waveforms. To generalize to a new instrument or event class, drawing inspiration from the text-prompt design, we insert additional queries as audio prompts while freezing the attention mechanism. Experimental results on three benchmarks demonstrate that our iQuery improves audiovisual sound source separation performance. Code is available at https://github.com/JiabenChen/iQuery.
