Blind Source Separation (BSS) algorithms

This repository covers EM algorithms to separate speech sources in multi-channel recordings.

In particular, the repository contains methods to integrate Deep Clustering (a neural network-based source separation algorithm) with a probabilistic spatial mixture model as proposed in the Interspeech paper "Tight integration of spatial and spectral features for BSS with Deep Clustering embeddings" presented at Interspeech 2017 in Stockholm.

Installation

Install it directly from source

git clone https://github.com/fgnt/pb_bss.git
cd pb_bss
pip install --editable .

We expect that numpy, scipy and cython are installed (e.g. conda install numpy scipy cython or pip install numpy scipy cython).

The default option is to install only the necessary dependencies. When you want to run the tests or execute the notebooks, use the one of the following commands for the installation:

pip install --editable .[all]  # Without a whitespace between `.` and `[all]`
pip install git+https://github.com/fgnt/pb_bss.git#egg=pb_bss[all]
