STEM: spatial speech separation using twin-delayed DDPG reinforcement learning and expectation maximization by Muhammad Salman Khan (7202543)

“…For stationary sources, the proposed system gives satisfactory performance in terms of quality, intelligibility, and separation speed, and generalizes well with the test data from a mismatched speech corpus. Its perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) score is 0.55 points better than a self-supervised learning (SSL) model and almost equivalent to the diffusion models at computational cost and training data which is many folds lesser than required by these algorithms. …”
