TF-SA-ResUNet-Model

Audio Source Separation with Time-Frequency Sequence Attention Res-U-Net (DCASE 2025)

This repository contains an implementation that replicates the architecture described in "TFSWA-ResUNet: music source separation with time–frequency sequence and shifted window attention-based ResUNet".

Instead of music source separation, this implementation adapts the model for Sound Event Separation using a subset of the DCASE 2025 Task 4 dataset. The entire training, validation, and testing pipeline is contained within a single Jupyter notebook.

🎯 Features

Architecture

• Res-U-Net with integrated Time-Frequency Sequence Attention (TF-SA) and Shifted Window Attention
• Task: Separating overlapping sound events in domestic environments
• Input: Magnitude spectrograms of mixed audio (32kHz sampling rate)
• Output: Estimated spectrograms of specific sound classes

🚀 Installation & Usage

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/kiuyha/Audio-Separation-ResUNet-TF-Attention.git
cd Audio-Separation-ResUNet-TF-Attention

2. Open the Notebook

This project is designed to run in Google Colab or a local Jupyter environment. All necessary dependencies are installed directly within the notebook cells.

• Open TF_SA_ResUNet.ipynb
• Ensure you have a GPU runtime enabled for training

3. Dependencies

The code relies on standard deep learning and audio libraries:

• Python 3.8+
• PyTorch
• Librosa
• NumPy
• Matplotlib
• Soundfile

All dependencies are automatically installed when running the notebook cells.
