We introduce a new approach for audio-visual speech separation. Given a video, the goal is to extract the speech associated with a face in spite of simultaneous background sounds and/or other human speakers. Whereas existing methods focus…
Separating different speaker properties from a multi-speaker environment is challenging. Instead of separating a two-speaker signal in signal space like speech source separation, a speaker embedding de-mixing approach is proposed. The…
Neural networks (NNs) have been widely applied in speech processing tasks, and, in particular, those employing microphone arrays. Nevertheless, most existing NN architectures can only deal with fixed and position-specific microphone arrays.…

Impressive progress in neural network-based single-channel speech source separation has been made in recent years. But those improvements have been mostly reported on anechoic data, a situation that is hardly met in practice. Taking the…
