Abstract
Recently, frequency domain all-neural beamforming methods have achieved remarkable progress for multichannel speech separation. In parallel, the integration of time domain network structure and beamforming also gains significant attention. This study proposes a novel all-neural beamforming method in time domain and makes an attempt to unify the all-neural beamforming pipelines for time domain and frequency domain multichannel speech separation. The proposed model consists of two modules: separation and beamforming. Both modules perform temporal-spectral-spatial modeling and are trained from end-to-end using a joint loss function. The novelty of this study lies in two folds. Firstly, a time domain directional feature conditioned on the direction of the target speaker is proposed, which can be jointly optimized within the time domain architecture to enhance target signal estimation. Secondly, an all-neural beamforming network in time domain is designed to refine the pre-separated results
