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…
Deep learning has shown a great potential for speech separation, especially for speech and non-speech separation. However, it encounters permutation problem for multi-speaker separation where both target and interference are speech.…
Permutation Invariant Training (PIT) has long been a stepping stone method for training speech separation model in handling the label ambiguity problem. With PIT selecting the minimum cost label assignments dynamically, very few studies…

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…
In supervised speech separation, permutation invariant training (PIT) is widely used to handle label ambiguity by selecting the best permutation to update the model. Despite its success, previous studies showed that PIT is plagued by…
