Abstract

In this paper we propose to incorporate contextual time-frequency information for clustering-based blind source separation. Previous clustering-based approaches have successfully used clustering techniques to estimate time-frequency separation masks; however, these approaches generally do not consider the contextual information of each time-frequency slot. Motivated by the homogenous behavior of speech signals, we modify the fuzzy c-means clustering to bias the results in favor of cluster membership homogeneity within localized neighborhoods in the time-frequency space. Experimental evaluations in both simulated and real-world underdetermined environments demonstrate improvement in source separation performance over previous clustering approaches. © 2014 IEEE.
