Abstract:
This paper describes Asteroid, the PyTorch-based audio source separation toolkit for researchers.
Inspired by the most successful neural source separation systems, it provides all neural building blocks
required to build such a system. To improve reproducibility, Kaldi-style recipes on common audio source separation
datasets are also provided. This paper describes the software architecture of Asteroid and
its most important features. By showing experimental results obtained with Asteroid's recipes, we
show that our implementations are at least on par with most results reported in reference papers. The toolkit
is publicly available at https://github.com/mpariente/asteroid.
