An Investigation Of Pre-upsampling Generative Modelling And Generative Adversarial Networks In Audio Super Resolution

Abstract

There have been several successful deep learning models that perform audio super-resolution. Many of these approaches involve using preprocessed feature extraction which requires a lot of domain-specific signal processing knowledge to implement. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) improved upon this framework by automatically learning filters. An example of a convolutional approach is AudioUNet, which takes inspiration from novel methods of upsampling images. Our paper compares the pre-upsampling AudioUNet to a new generative model that upsamples the signal before using deep learning to transform it into a more believable signal. Based on the EDSR network for image super-resolution, the newly proposed model outperforms UNet with a 20% increase in log spectral distance and a mean opinion score of 4.06 compared to 3.82 for the two times upsampling case. AudioEDSR also has 87% fewer parameters than AudioUNet. How incorporating AudioUNet into a Wasserstein GAN (with gradient penalty) (WGA
