Abstract
Provided is a target speech signal extraction method for robust speech recognition including: receiving information on a direction of arrival of the target speech source with respect to the microphones; generating a nullformer by using the information on the direction of arrival of the target speech source to remove the target speech signal from the input signals and to estimate noise; setting a real output of the target speech source using an adaptive vector as a first channel and setting a dummy output by the nullformer as a remaining channel; setting a cost function for minimizing dependency between the real output of the target speech source and the dummy output using the nullformer by performing independent component analysis (ICA) or independent vector analysis (IVA); setting an auxiliary function to the cost function; and estimating the target speech signal by using the cost function and the auxiliary function.
