Acoustic Features for Classification Based Speech Separation

Speech separation can be effectively formulated as a binary classiﬁcation problem. A classiﬁcation based system produces a binary mask using acoustic features in each time-frequency unit. So far, only pitch and am-plitude modulation spectrogram have been used as unit level features. In this paper, we study other acoustic features and show that they can signiﬁcantly improve both voiced and unvoiced speech separation performance. To further explore complementarity in terms of discriminative power, we propose a group Lasso approach for feature combination. The ﬁnal combined feature set yields promising results in both matched and unmatched test conditions.
