We propose a new approach for singer melody extraction, based on blind source separation techniques. The short time Fourier transform (STFT) of the singer signal is modelled by a ...
Recently the concept of ideal binary time-frequency masks has received attention and their optimality in terms of signalto-noise ratio has been presumed. However the optimality is...
While state-of-the-art approaches obtain an estimate of the a priori SNR by adaptively smoothing its maximum likelihood estimate in the frequency domain, we selectively smooth the...
In this paper, we propose an MMSE a priori SNR estimator for speech enhancement. This estimator has similar benefits to the well-known decision-directed approach, but does not req...
This paper presents a simple mathematical analysis of some features of the Harmony Search algorithm (HS). HS is a recently developed derivative-free optimization algorithm, which ...
