Description
Feyisayo Olalere and co-authors use mic place cues to split speech for implant users in work dated 2025. Splitting one voice from a mix works well in dry rooms but fails in real rooms with echo. Implant mics sit at two spots, so their feeds hold place cues. The team fed those cues to a deep net that splits speech.
Cues the net learns on its own from two feeds lift scores with no extra cost. Cues worked out ahead of time lift scores more, most of all phase gaps, but they slow the net down. Gains held even when split speech was blurred to match what implant users hear.
