Blind source separation, i.e. extraction of independent sources from a mixture, is an important problem for both artificial and natural signal processing. Here, we address a special case of this problem when sources (but not the mixing…

Typical methods for binaural source separation consider only the direct sound as the target signal in a mixture. However, in most scenarios, this assumption limits the source separation performance. It is well known that the early…
