Aims to tackle the real-world recordings with challenging settings as mentioned earlier, we have proposed novel separation algorithms for both single-channel and multi-channel cases. The achieved results have been described in seven publications. The results of our algorithms were also submitted to the international source separation campaign SiSEC 20164 [81] and obtained the best performance in terms of energybased criteria. | Doctoral dissertation of computer science: Audio source separation exploiting nmf based generic source spectral model MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING HANOI UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DUONG THI HIEN THANH AUDIO SOURCE SEPARATION EXPLOITING NMF-BASED GENERIC SOURCE SPECTRAL MODEL DOCTORAL DISSERTATION OF COMPUTER SCIENCE Hanoi - 2019 MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING HANOI UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DUONG THI HIEN THANH AUDIO SOURCE SEPARATION EXPLOITING NMF-BASED GENERIC SOURCE SPECTRAL MODEL Major: Computer Science Code: 9480101 DOCTORAL DISSERTATION OF COMPUTER SCIENCE SUPERVISORS: 1.
