A Directional Laplacian Density for Underdetermined Audio Source Separation
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work, a novel probability distribution is proposed to model sparse directional data. The Directional Laplacian Distribution (DLD) is a hybrid between the linear Laplacian distribution and the von Mises distribution, proposed to model sparse directional data. The distribution’s parameters are estimated using Maximum-Likelihood Estimation over a set of training data points. Mixtures of Directional Laplacian Distributions (MDLD) are also introduced in order to model multiple concentrations of sparse directional data. The author explores the application of the derived DLD mixtures to cluster sound sources that exist in an underdetermined two-sensor mixture.

A probabilistic approach for blind source separation of underdetermined convolutive mixtures
There are very few techniques that can separate signals from the convolutive mixture in the underdetermined case. We have developed a method that uses overcomplete expansion of the signal created with a time-frequency transform and that also uses the property of sparseness and a Laplacian source density model to obtain the source signals from the instantaneously mixed signals in the underderdet...
متن کاملComplex Nonconvex l p Norm Minimization for Underdetermined Source Separation
Underdetermined source separation methods often rely on the assumption that the time-frequency source coefficients are independent and Laplacian distributed. In this article, we extend these methods by assuming that these coefficients follow a generalized Gaussian prior with shape parameter p. We study mathematical and experimental properties of the resulting complex nonconvex lp norm optimizat...
متن کاملBlind Spectral-GMM Estimation for Underdetermined Instantaneous Audio Source Separation
The underdetermined blind audio source separation problem is often addressed in the time-frequency domain by assuming that each time-frequency point is an independently distributed random variable. Other approaches which are not blind assume a more structured model, like the Spectral Gaussian Mixture Models (Spectral-GMMs), thus exploiting statistical diversity of audio sources in the separatio...
متن کاملUnderdetermined Source Separation Using Mixtures of Warped Laplacians
In a previous work, the authors have introduced a Mixture of Laplacians model in order to cluster the observed data into the sound sources that exist in an underdetermined two-sensor setup. Since the assumed linear support of the ordinary Laplacian distribution is not valid to model angular quantities, such as the Direction of Arrival to the set of sensors, the authors investigate the performan...
متن کاملModeling the Short Time Fourier Transform Ratio and Application to Underdetermined Audio Source Separation
This paper presents the theoretical background for the Model Based Underdetermined Source Separation presented in [5]. We show that for a given frequency band, in contrast to customary assumption, the observed Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) ratio coming from one source is not constant in time, but is a random variable whose distribution we have obtained. Using this distribution and the Tim...
