Lattice-ladder structured adaptive decorrelation filtering for co-channel speech separation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A lattice-ladder adaptive decorrelation filtering (ADF) algorithm is proposed with the aim of developing a more efficient co-channel speech separation system. It is shown that based on the joint forward and backward linear predictions, a lattice-ladder structure can be derived for ADF. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective in reducing cross-interference between co-channel speech sources and has better tracking ability on the variations in acoustic environment compared to the original direct-form ADF algorithm.

Adaptive co-channel speech separation and recognition
An improved technique of co-channel speech separation, S-AADF/LMS, and its integration with automatic speech recognition is presented. The S-AADF/LMS technique is based on the algorithms of accelerated adaptive decorrelation filtering (AADF) and LMS noise cancellation, where a switching between the two algorithms is made depending upon the active/inactive status of the co-channel signal sources...
متن کاملAdaptive decorrelation filtering for separation of co-channel speech signals from m>2 sources
The ADF algorithm for separating two signal sources by Weinstein, Feder, and Oppenheim is generalized for separation of co-channel speech signals from more than two sources. The system con guration, its accompanied ADF algorithm, and the choice of adaptation gain are derived. The applicability and limitation of the derived algorithm are also discussed. Experiments were conducted for separation ...
متن کاملVariable step size adaptive decorrelation filtering for competing speech separation
Two variable step size (VSS) techniques are proposed for adaptive decorrelation filtering (ADF) to improve the performance of competing speech separation. The first VSS method applies gradient adaptive step-size (GAS) to increase ADF convergence rate. Under some simplifying assumptions, the GAS technique is generalized to allow the combination with additional VSS techniques for ADF algorithm. T...

This paper presents new adaptive filtering techniques used in speech enhancement system. Adaptive filtering schemes are subjected to different trade-offs regarding their steady-state misadjustment, speed of convergence, and tracking performance. Fractional Least-Mean-Square (FLMS) is a new adaptive algorithm which has better performance than the conventional LMS algorithm. Normalization of LMS ...
متن کاملRobust automatic speech recognition using a multi-channel signal separation front-end
A multi-channel signal separation front-end for robust automatic speech recognition under time-varying interference conditions is developed. The speech signals acquired by a dual-channel system are restored by adaptive decorrelation filtering, and then examined by a time-domain or frequency-domain source signal detection technique to determine the active regions of each source signal. The front...
