Abstract
This document relates to separation of audio signals into speaker-specific signals. One example obtains features reflecting mixed speech signals captured by multiple microphones. The features can be input a neural network and masks can be obtained from the neural network. The masks can be applied one or more of the mixed speech signals captured by one or more of the microphones to obtain two or more separate speaker-specific speech signals, which can then be output.
