Many-Speakers Single Channel Speech Separation with Optimal Permutation Training
August 29, 2021
Abstract
Single channel speech separation has experienced great progress in the last few years. However, training neural speech separation for a large number of speakers (e.g., more than 10 speakers) is out of reach for the current methods, which rely on the Permutation Invariant Training (PIT). In this work, we present a permutation invariant training that employs the Hungarian algorithm in order to train with an $O(C^3)$ time complexity, where $C$ is the number of speakers, in comparison to $O(C!)$ of PIT based methods. Furthermore, we present a modified architecture that can handle the increased number of speakers. Our approach separates up to $20$ speakers and improves the previous results for large $C$ by a wide margin.
