Deep Long Audio Inpainting

Understand

Long (> 200 ms) audio inpainting, to recover a long missing part in an audio segment, could be widely applied to audio editing tasks and transmission loss recovery.

• It is a very challenging problem due to the high dimensional, complex and non-correlated audio features.
• While deep learning models have made tremendous progress in image and video inpainting, audio inpainting did not attract much attention.
• In this work, we take a pioneering step, exploring the possibility of adapting deep learning frameworks from various domains inclusive of audio synthesis and image inpainting for audio inpainting.
