State-of-the-art music recommendation systems are based on collaborative filtering, which predicts a user’s interest from his listening habits and similarities with other users’ profiles. These approaches are agnostic to the song content, and therefore face the cold-start problem: they cannot recomm…
Time-frequency audio source separation is usually achieved by estimating the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) magnitude of each source, and then applying a phase recovery algorithm to retrieve time-domain signals. In particular, the multiple input spectrogram inversion (MISI) algorithm has shown…
In audio source separation applications, it is common to model the sources as circular-symmetric Gaussian random variables, which is equivalent to assuming that the phase of each source is uniformly distributed. In this paper, we introduce an anisotropic Gaussian source model in which both the magni…
Phase reconstruction of complex components in the time-frequency domain is a challenging but necessary task for audio source separation. While traditional approaches do not exploit phase constraints that originate from signal modeling, some prior information about the phase can be obtained from sinu…
In this paper we present a novel source separation method aiming to overcome the difficulty of modelling non-stationary signals. The method can be applied to mixtures of musical instruments with frequency and/or amplitude modulation, e.g. typically caused by vibrato. It is based on a signal represen…
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a powerful tool for decomposing mixtures of audio signals in the Time-Frequency (TF) domain. In the source separation framework, the phase recovery for each extracted component is necessary for synthesizing time-domain signals. The Complex NMF (CNMF) model a…
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a powerful tool for decomposing mixtures of audio signals in the Time-Frequency (TF) domain. In applications such as source separation, the phase recovery for each extracted component is a major issue since it often leads to audible artifacts. In this paper,…
