Multi-channel target speech extraction with channel decorrelation and target speaker adaptation
The end-to-end approaches for single-channel target speech extraction have attracted widespread attention. However, the studies for end-to-end multi-channel target speech extraction are still relatively limited. In this work, we propose two methods for exploiting the multi-channel spatial information to extract the target speech. The first one is using a target speech adaptation layer in a parallel encoder architecture. The second one is designing a channel decorrelation mechanism to extract the inter-channel differential information to enhance the multi-channel encoder representation. We compare the proposed methods with two strong state-of-the-art baselines. Experimental results on the multi-channel reverberant WSJ0 2-mix dataset demonstrate that our proposed methods achieve up to 11.2% and 11.5% relative improvements in SDR and SiSDR, respectively.
