Convolutive Blind Source Separation Methods
In this chapter, we provide an overview of existing algorithms for blind source separation of convolutive audio mixtures. We provide a taxonomy, wherein many of the existing algorithms can be organized, and we present published results from those algorithms that have been applied to real-world audio separation tasks

Reverberant Audio Source Separation via Sparse and Low-Rank Modeling
The performance of audio source separation from underdetermined convolutive
mixture assuming known mixing filters can be significantly improved by using an
analysis sparse prior optimized by a reweighting l1 scheme and a wideband
datafidelity term, as demonstrated by a recent article. In this letter, we show
that the performance can be improved even more significantly by exploiting a
low-rank prior on the source spectrograms.We present a new algorithm to
estimate the sources based on i) an analysis sparse prior, ii) a reweighting
scheme so as to increase the sparsity, iii) a wideband data-fidelity term in a
constrained form, and iv) a low-rank constraint on the source spectrograms.
Evaluation on reverberant music mixtures shows that the resulting algorithm
improves state-of-the-art methods by more than 2 dB of signal-to-distortion
ratio
An Inverse-Gamma Source Variance Prior with Factorized Parameterization for Audio Source Separation
International audienceIn this paper we present a new statistical model for the power spectral density (PSD) of an audio signal and its application to multichannel audio source separation (MASS). The source signal is modeled with the local Gaussian model (LGM) and we propose to model its variance with an inverse-Gamma distribution, whose scale parameter is factorized as a rank-1 model. We discuss the interest of this approach and evaluate it in a MASS task with underdetermined convolutive mixtures. For this aim, we derive a variational EM algorithm for parameter estimation and source inference. The proposed model shows a benefit in source separation performance compared to a state-of-the-art LGM NMF-based technique
