Most speech separation methods, trying to separate all channel sources simultaneously, are still far from having enough general- ization capabilities for real scenarios where the number of input sounds is usually uncertain and even dynamic. In this work, we employ ideas from auditory attention with two ears and propose a speaker and direction inferred speech separation network (dubbed SDNet) to solve the cocktail party problem. Specifically, our SDNet first parses out the respective perceptual representations with their speaker and direction characteristics from the mixture of the scene in a sequential manner. Then, the perceptual representations are utilized to attend to each corresponding speech. Our model gener- ates more precise perceptual representations with the help of spatial features and successfully deals with the problem of the unknown number of sources and the selection of outputs. The experiments on standard fully-overlapped speech separation benchmarks, WSJ0- 2mix, WSJ0-3mix, and WSJ0-2&3mix, show the effectiveness, and our method achieves SDR improvements of 25.31 dB, 17.26 dB, and 21.56 dB under anechoic settings. Our codes will be released at https://github.com/aispeech-lab/SDNet.

Nowadays, there is a strong need to deploy the target speaker separation (TSS) model on mobile devices with a limitation of the model size and computational complexity. To better perform TSS for mobile voice communication, we first make a dual-channe l dataset based on a specific scenario, LibriPhone. Specifically, to better mimic the real-case scenario, instead of simulating from the single-channel dataset, LibriPhone is made by simultaneously replaying pairs of utterances from LibriSpeech by two professional artificial heads and recording by two built-in microphones of the mobile. Then, we propose a lightweight time-frequency domain separation model, LSTM-Former, which is based on the LSTM framework with source-to-noise ratio (SI-SNR) loss. For the experiments on Libri-Phone, we explore the dual-channel LSTMFormer model and a single-channel version by a random single channel of Libri-Phone. Experimental result shows that the dual-channel LSTM-Former outperforms the single-channel LSTMFormer with relative 25% improvement. This work provides a feasible solution for the TSS task on mobile devices, playing back and recording multiple data sources in real application scenarios for getting dual-channel real data can assist the lightweight model to achieve higher performance.
We present a novel source separation model to decompose asingle-channel speech signal into two speech segments belonging to two different speakers. The proposed model is a neural network based on residual blocks, and uses learnt speaker embeddings cr eated from additional clean context recordings of the two speakers as input to assist in attributing the different time-frequency bins to the two speakers. In experiments, we show that the proposed model yields good performance in the source separation task, and outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines. Specifically, separating speech from the challenging VoxCeleb dataset, the proposed model yields 4.79dB signal-to-distortion ratio, 8.44dB signal-to-artifacts ratio and 7.11dB signal-to-interference ratio.

In this paper, we propose a multi-channel network for simultaneous speech dereverberation, enhancement and separation (DESNet). To enable gradient propagation and joint optimization, we adopt the attentional selection mechanism of the multi-channel f eatures, which is originally proposed in end-to-end unmixing, fixed-beamforming and extraction (E2E-UFE) structure. Furthermore, the novel deep complex convolutional recurrent network (DCCRN) is used as the structure of the speech unmixing and the neural network based weighted prediction error (WPE) is cascaded beforehand for speech dereverberation. We also introduce the staged SNR strategy and symphonic loss for the training of the network to further improve the final performance. Experiments show that in non-dereverberated case, the proposed DESNet outperforms DCCRN and most state-of-the-art structures in speech enhancement and separation, while in dereverberated scenario, DESNet also shows improvements over the cascaded WPE-DCCRN networks.
We propose speaker separation using speaker inventories and estimated speech (SSUSIES), a framework leveraging speaker profiles and estimated speech for speaker separation. SSUSIES contains two methods, speaker separation using speaker inventories (S SUSI) and speaker separation using estimated speech (SSUES). SSUSI performs speaker separation with the help of speaker inventory. By combining the advantages of permutation invariant training (PIT) and speech extraction, SSUSI significantly outperforms conventional approaches. SSUES is a widely applicable technique that can substantially improve speaker separation performance using the output of first-pass separation. We evaluate the models on both speaker separation and speech recognition metrics.

In this paper, we present AISHELL-4, a sizable real-recorded Mandarin speech dataset collected by 8-channel circular microphone array for speech processing in conference scenario. The dataset consists of 211 recorded meeting sessions, each containing 4 to 8 speakers, with a total length of 120 hours. This dataset aims to bridge the advanced research on multi-speaker processing and the practical application scenario in three aspects. With real recorded meetings, AISHELL-4 provides realistic acoustics and rich natural speech characteristics in conversation such as short pause, speech overlap, quick speaker turn, noise, etc. Meanwhile, accurate transcription and speaker voice activity are provided for each meeting in AISHELL-4. This allows the researchers to explore different aspects in meeting processing, ranging from individual tasks such as speech front-end processing, speech recognition and speaker diarization, to multi-modality modeling and joint optimization of relevant tasks. Given most open source dataset for multi-speaker tasks are in English, AISHELL-4 is the only Mandarin dataset for conversation speech, providing additional value for data diversity in speech community. We also release a PyTorch-based training and evaluation framework as baseline system to promote reproducible research in this field.
