The system performs clustering to generate a smaller set of direction vectors included in a delay-direction codebook, reducing a size of the codebook to the number of unique delay vectors.

Abstract: A system configured to improve track selection while performing audio type detection using sound source localization (SSL) data is provided. A device processes audio data representing sounds from multiple sound sources to determine SSL data that distinguishes between each of the sound sources. The system detects an acoustic event and performs SSL track selection to select the sound source that corresponds to the acoustic event based on input features.

Abstract: A system configured to perform directional speech separation. The system may dynamically associate direction-of-arrivals with one or more audio sources in order to generate output audio data that separates each of the audio sources. The system identifies a target direction for each audio source, dynamically determines directions that are correlated with the target direction, and generates output signals for each audio source. The system may associate individual frequency bands with specific directions based on a time delay detected by two or more microphones. The system may determine a cross-correlation between each direction and the target direction and select directions with strong correlation. The system may generate time-frequency mask data indicating frequency bands corresponding to the directions associated with a particular audio source. Using the mask data, the system generates output audio data specific to the audio source, resulting in directional speech separation between different audio sources.

Abstract: A system configured to perform sound source localization (SSL) using reflection classification is provided. A device processes audio data representing sounds from multiple sound sources to generate sound track data that includes an individual sound track for each of the sound sources. To detect reflections, the device determines whether a pair of sound tracks are strongly correlated. For example, the device may calculate a correlation value for each pairwise combination of the sound tracks and determine whether the correlation value exceeds a threshold value. When the correlation value exceeds the threshold, the device invokes a reflection classifier trained to distinguish between direct sound sources and reflected sound sources. For example, the device extracts feature data from the pair of sound tracks and processes the feature data using a trained model to determine which of the sound tracks corresponds to the direct sound source.
