Recently, multiple synthetic and real-world datasets have been built to facilitate the training of deep single image reflection removal (SIRR) models. Meanwhile, diverse testing sets are also provided with different types of reflection and scenes. However, the non-negligible domain gaps between training and testing sets make it difficult to learn deep models generalizing well to testing images. The diversity of reflections and scenes further makes it a mission impossible to learn a single model being effective to all testing sets and real-world reflections. In this paper, we tackle these issues by learning SIRR models from a domain generalization perspective. Particularly, for each source set, a specific SIRR model is trained to serve as a domain expert of relevant reflection types. For a given reflection-contaminated image, we present a reflection type-aware weighting (RTAW) module to predict expert-wise weights. RTAW can then be incorporated with adaptive network combination (AdaNEC) for handling different reflection types and scenes, i.e., generalizing to unknown domains. Two representative AdaNEC methods, i.e., output fusion (OF) and network interpolation (NI), are provided by considering both adaptation levels and efficiency. For images from one source set, we train RTAW to only predict expert-wise weights of other domain experts for improving generalization ability, while the weights of all experts are predicted and employed during testing. An in-domain expert (IDE) loss is presented for training RTAW. Extensive experiments show the appealing performance gain of our AdaNEC on different state-of-the-art SIRR networks.

As advancements in technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Speaker Verification (SV), and Text-to-Speech (TTS) lead to increased usage of intelligent voice assistants, the demand for privacy and personalization has escalated. In this paper, we introduce a multi-task learning framework for personalized, customizable open-vocabulary Keyword Spotting (PCOV-KWS). This framework employs a lightweight network to simultaneously perform Keyword Spotting (KWS) and SV to address personalized KWS requirements. We have integrated a training criterion distinct from softmax-based loss, transforming multi-class classification into multiple binary classifications, which eliminates inter-category competition, while an optimization strategy for multi-task loss weighting is employed during training. We evaluated our PCOV-KWS system in multiple datasets, demonstrating that it outperforms the baselines in evaluation results, while also requiring fewer parameters and lower computational resources.

Current keyword spotting systems primarily use phoneme-level matching to distinguish confusable words but ignore user-specific pronunciation traits like prosody (intonation, stress, rhythm). This paper presents ProKWS, a novel framework integrating fine-grained phoneme learning with personalized prosody modeling. We design a dual-stream encoder where one stream derives robust phonemic representations through contrastive learning, while the other extracts speaker-specific prosodic patterns. A collaborative fusion module dynamically combines phonemic and prosodic information, enhancing adaptability across acoustic environments. Experiments show ProKWS delivers highly competitive performance, comparable to state-of-the-art models on standard benchmarks and demonstrates strong robustness for personalized keywords with tone and intent variations.
