Single-channel Blind Source Separation For Singing Voice Detection: A Comparative Study

Abstract

We propose a novel unsupervised singing voice detection method which use single-channel Blind Audio Source Separation (BASS) algorithm as a preliminary step. To reach this goal, we investigate three promising BASS approaches which operate through a morphological filtering of the analyzed mixture spectrogram. The contributions of this paper are manyfold. First, the investigated BASS methods are reworded with the same formalism and we investigate their respective hyperparameters by numerical simulations. Second, we propose an extension of the KAM method for which we propose a novel training algorithm used to compute a source-specific kernel from a given isolated source signal. Second, the BASS methods are compared together in terms of source separation accuracy and in terms of singing voice detection accuracy when they are used in our new singing voice detection framework. Finally, we do an exhaustive singing voice detection evaluation for which we compare both supervised and unsupervise
