Permutation invariant training (PIT) is a widely used training criterion for neural network-based source separation, used for both utterance-level separation with utterance-level PIT (uPIT) and separation of long recordings with the…
We study permutation invariant training (PIT), which targets at the permutation ambiguity problem for speaker independent source separation models. We extend two state-of-the-art PIT strategies. First, we look at the two-stage speaker…
Single channel speech separation has experienced great progress in the last few years. However, training neural speech separation for a large number of speakers (e.g., more than 10 speakers) is out of reach for the current methods, which…
Universal sound separation consists of separating mixes with arbitrary sounds of different types, and permutation invariant training (PIT) is used to train source agnostic models that do so. In this work, we complement PIT with adversarial…
The goal of speech separation is to extract multiple speech sources from a single microphone recording. Recently, with the advancement of deep learning and availability of large datasets, speech separation has been formulated as a…
Many recent source separation systems are designed to separate a fixed number of sources out of a mixture. In the cases where the source activation patterns are unknown, such systems have to either adjust the number of outputs or to…
Supervised neural network training has led to significant progress on single-channel sound separation. This approach relies on ground truth isolated sources, which precludes scaling to widely available mixture data and limits progress on…

Single-microphone, speaker-independent speech separation is normally performed through two steps: (i) separating the specific speech sources, and (ii) determining the best output-label assignment to find the separation error. The second…

In this paper, we propose a novel technique for direct recognition of multiple speech streams given the single channel of mixed speech, without first separating them. Our technique is based on permutation invariant training (PIT) for…
One solution to automatic speech recognition (ASR) of overlapping speakers is to separate speech and then perform ASR on the separated signals. Commonly, the separator produces artefacts which often degrade ASR performance. Addressing this…
Unsupervised single-channel overlapped speech recognition is one of the hardest problems in automatic speech recognition (ASR). Permutation invariant training (PIT) is a state of the art model-based approach, which applies a single neural…
