NON-NEGATIVE MATRIX FACTORIZATION

SIGNAL SEPARATION AND MASKING

EXPERIMENTS AND DISCUSSION

CONCLUSION

Introduction There are two main stages of this work

– Training stage– Separation stage

Using NMF with different types of masks to improve the separation process

– The separation process faster– NMF with fewer iterations

Introduction Problem formulation

– The observe a signal x(t) ,which is the mixture of two sources s(t) and m(t)

– Assume the sources have the same phase angle as the mixed

Non-negative Matrix Factorization

The magnitude spectrogram S and M are calculated by NMF

Larger number of basis vectors– Lower approximation error– Redundant set of basis– Require more computation time

Signal Separation and Masking

The NMF is used decompose the magnitude spectrogram matrix X

The initial spectrograms estimates for speech and music signals are respectively calculated as follows
