Speech Separation By Humans and Machines Springer

Аннотация

This book is a collection of papers written by the workshop’s participants. Although the chapters follow the general outline of the talks that their authors gave in Montreal, they have generally outgrown the material presented at the workshop, both in their scope and their orientation. Thus, the present book is not merely another volume of conference proceedings or a set of journal articles gone astray. Rather, it is a matrix of data, background, and ideas that cuts across fields and approaches, with the unifying theme of separation and interpretation of speech corrupted by a complex acoustic environment. Over and above presenting facts and accomplishments in this field, the landscape that the book wishes to paint also highlights what is still missing, unknown, and un-invented. It is our hope that the book will inspire the reader to learn more about speech separation and even will be tempted to join the rows of investigators busy trying to fill in the blanks.
