Speech separation with several speakers is a challenging task because of the non-stationarity of the speech and the strong signal similarity between interferent sources. Current state-of-the-art solutions can separate well the different…

Most existing methods in binaural sound source localization rely on some kind of aggregation of phase-and level-difference cues in the time-frequency plane. While different ag-gregation schemes exist, they are often heuristic and suffer in…
Signal separation and extraction are important tasks for devices recording audio signals in real environments which, aside from the desired sources, often contain several interfering sources such as background noise or concurrent speakers.…

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) factorizes a non-negative matrix into product of two non-negative matrices, namely a signal matrix and a mixing matrix. NMF suffers from the scale and ordering ambiguities. Often, the source signals…
