Abstract

A lattice-ladder adaptive decorrelation filtering (ADF) algorithm is proposed with the aim of developing a more efficient co-channel speech separation system. It is shown that based on the joint forward and backward linear predictions, a lattice-ladder structure can be derived for ADF. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective in reducing cross-interference between co-channel speech sources and has better tracking ability on the variations in the acoustic environment compared to the original direct-form ADF algorithm
