Signal-dependent beamformers are advantageous over signal-independent beamformers when the acoustic scenario - be it real-world or simulated - is straightforward in terms of the number of sound sources, the ambient sound field and their…
In multi-channel speech enhancement and robust automatic speech recognition (ASR), beamforming can typically improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the target speaker and produce reliable enhancement with little distortion to target…
Neural networks have recently become the dominant approach to sound separation. Their good performance relies on large datasets of isolated recordings. For speech and music, isolated single channel data are readily available; however the…
