Description: This book delves into the technology behind hearing aids, Siri, and Echo, offering insights into audio source separation and speech enhancement. These techniques aim to extract one or more source signals of interest from an audio recording that includes multiple sound sources, playing a crucial role in the development of hearing aids, hands-free phones, voice command systems, noise-robust audio analysis, and music post-production software.
The research on this topic has evolved through three main paths: sensor array processing, computational auditory scene analysis, and machine learning-based approaches such as independent component analysis. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive overview by presenting the common foundations and differences between these techniques in a unified setting, offering both historical perspectives and the latest advances, including deep neural networks.
