Orthonormal Embedding-based Deep Clustering For Single-channel Speech Separation

Abstract

Deep clustering is a deep neural network-based speech separation algorithm that first trains the mixed component of signals with high-dimensional embeddings, and then uses a clustering algorithm to separate each mixture of sources. In this paper, we extend the baseline criterion of deep clustering with an additional regularization term to further improve the overall performance. This term plays a role in assigning a condition to the embeddings such that it gives less correlation to each embedding dimension, leading to better decomposition of the spectral bins. The regularization term helps to mitigate the unavoidable permutation problem in the conventional deep clustering method, which enables to bring better clustering through the formation of optimal embeddings. We evaluate the results by varying embedding dimension, signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), and gender dependency. The performance comparison with the source separation measurement metric, i.e. signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR
