Abstract
This work introduces sequential neural beamforming, which alternates between neural network based spectral separation and beamforming based spatial separation. Our neural networks for separation use an advanced convolutional architecture trained with a novel stabilized signal-to-noise ratio loss function. For beamforming, we explore multiple ways of computing time-varying covariance matrices, including factorizing the spatial covariance into a time-varying amplitude component and a time-invariant spatial component, as well as using block-based techniques. In addition, we introduce a multi-frame beamforming method which improves the results significantly by adding contextual frames to the beamforming formulations. We extensively evaluate and analyze the effects of window size, block size, and multi-frame context size for these methods. Our best method utilizes a sequence of three neural separation and multi-frame time-invariant spatial beamforming stages, and demonstrates an average imp
