In this paper, a Blind Source Separation (BSS) algorithm for multichannel audio contents is proposed. Unlike common BSS algorithms targeting stereo audio contents or microphone array signals, our technique is targeted at multichannel audio such as 5.1 and 7.1ch audio. Since most multichannel audio object sources are panned using the Inter-channel Loudness Difference (ILD), we employ the ILVS (Inter-channel Loudness Vector Sum) concept to cluster common signals (such as background music) from each channel. After separating the common signals from each channel, we employ an Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm with a von-Mises distribution to successfully classify the clustering of sound source objects and separate the audio signals from the original mixture. Our proposed method can therefore separate common audio signals and object source signals from multiple channels with reasonable quality. Our multichannel audio content separation technique can be applied to an upmix system or a cinema audio system requiring multichannel audio source separation.

In recent years, music source separation has been one of the most intensively studied research areas in music information retrieval. Improvements in deep learning lead to a big progress in music source separation performance. However, most of the pre
vious studies are restricted to separating a few limited number of sources, such as vocals, drums, bass, and other. In this study, we propose a network for audio query-based music source separation that can explicitly encode the source information from a query signal regardless of the number and/or kind of target signals. The proposed method consists of a Query-net and a Separator: given a query and a mixture, the Query-net encodes the query into the latent space, and the Separator estimates masks conditioned by the latent vector, which is then applied to the mixture for separation. The Separator can also generate masks using the latent vector from the training samples, allowing separation in the absence of a query. We evaluate our method on the MUSDB18 dataset, and experimental results show that the proposed method can separate multiple sources with a single network. In addition, through further investigation of the latent space we demonstrate that our method can generate continuous outputs via latent vector interpolation.
Independent deeply learned matrix analysis (IDLMA) is one of the state-of-the-art supervised multichannel audio source separation methods. It blindly estimates the demixing filters on the basis of source independence, using the source model estimated
by the deep neural network (DNN). However, since the ratios of the source to interferer signals vary widely among time-frequency (TF) slots, it is difficult to obtain reliable estimated power spectrograms of sources at all TF slots. In this paper, we propose an IDLMA extension, empirical Bayesian IDLMA (EB-IDLMA), by introducing a prior distribution of source power spectrograms and treating the source power spectrograms as latent random variables. This treatment allows us to implicitly consider the reliability of the estimated source power spectrograms for the estimation of demixing filters through the hyperparameters of the prior distribution estimated by the DNN. Experimental evaluations show the effectiveness of EB-IDLMA and the importance of introducing the reliability of the estimated source power spectrograms.
Independent deeply learned matrix analysis (IDLMA) is one of the state-of-the-art multichannel audio source separation methods using the source power estimation based on deep neural networks (DNNs). The DNN-based power estimation works well for sound
s having timbres similar to the DNN training data. However, the sounds to which IDLMA is applied do not always have such timbres, and the timbral mismatch causes the performance degradation of IDLMA. To tackle this problem, we focus on a blind source separation counterpart of IDLMA, independent low-rank matrix analysis. It uses nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) as the source model, which can capture source spectral components that only appear in the target mixture, using the low-rank structure of the source spectrogram as a clue. We thus extend the DNN-based source model to encompass the NMF-based source model on the basis of the product-of-expert concept, which we call the product of source models (PoSM). For the proposed PoSM-based IDLMA, we derive a computationally efficient parameter estimation algorithm based on an optimization principle called the majorization-minimization algorithm. Experimental evaluations show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
This paper presents a computationally efficient approach to blind source separation (BSS) of audio signals, applicable even when there are more sources than microphones (i.e., the underdetermined case). When there are as many sources as microphones (
i.e., the determined case), BSS can be performed computationally efficiently by independent component analysis (ICA). Unfortunately, however, ICA is basically inapplicable to the underdetermined case. Another BSS approach using the multichannel Wiener filter (MWF) is applicable even to this case, and encompasses full-rank spatial covariance analysis (FCA) and multichannel non-negative matrix factorization (MNMF). However, these methods require massive numbers of matrix
We consider the problem of estimating the phases of K mixed complex signals from a multichannel observation, when the mixing matrix and signal magnitudes are known. This problem can be cast as a non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic program
which is known to be NP-hard in general. We propose three approaches to tackle it: a heuristic method, an alternate minimization method, and a convex relaxation into a semi-definite program. The last two approaches are showed to outperform the oracle multichannel Wiener filter in under-determined informed source separation tasks, using simulated and speech signals. The convex relaxation approach yields best results, including the potential for exact source separation in under-determined settings.
