We propose a deep complex-valued neural network-based beamforming framework for multichannel target speech separation. The deep complex-valued neural network predicts steering vectors and complex ratio masks for speaker signals.The masked signals are then used to calculate the spatial covariance matrices needed for minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming. We propose triple-path modeling for mask estimation, which takes both intrachannel and interchannel features into consideration. Our experimental results revealed that the proposed framework achieves better target speech separation performance than do the baseline methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
