Mixture Encoder

Mixture encoders are neural network architectures designed to improve the performance of various tasks by combining information from multiple sources or components. Current research focuses on applications such as speech separation and recognition, where mixture encoders integrate separated speech streams with the original overlapped audio to enhance accuracy, and probabilistic forecasting, where they combine predictions from multiple time series. These models are proving valuable in improving the accuracy and robustness of complex systems by leveraging the strengths of multiple data sources or model components, leading to advancements in fields ranging from audio processing to image reconstruction.
