Abstract

We propose a new method for training a supervised source separation system that aims to learn the interdependent relationships between all combinations of sources in a mixture. Rather than independently estimating each source from a mix, we reframe the source separation problem as an Orderless Neural Autoregressive Density Estimator (NADE), and estimate each source from both the mix and a random subset of the other sources. We adapt a standard source separation architecture, Demucs, with additional inputs for each individual source, in addition to the input mixture. We randomly mask these input sources during training so that the network learns the conditional dependencies between the sources. By pairing this training method with a block Gibbs sampling procedure at inference time, we demonstrate that the network can iteratively improve its separation performance by conditioning a source estimate on its earlier source estimates. Experiments on two source separation datasets show that training a Demucs model with an Orderless NADE approach and using Gibbs sampling (up to 512 steps) at inference time strongly outperforms a Demucs baseline that uses a standard regression loss and direct (one step) estimation of sources.
