Time-Domain Blind Separation of Audio Sources on the Basis of a Complete ICA Decomposition of an Observation Space
—Time-domain algorithms for blind separation of audio sources can be classified as being based either on a partial or complete decomposition of an observation space. The decompo...

Reasons why Current Speech-Enhancement Algorithms do not Improve Speech Intelligibility and Suggested Solutions
—Existing speech enhancement algorithms can improve speech quality but not speech intelligibility, and the reasons for that are unclear. In the present paper, we present a theore...
