Abstract
A method is presented for eliminating an unwanted signal (e.g., background music, interference, etc.) from a mixture of a desired signal and the unwanted signal via time-frequency masking. Given a mixture of the desired signal and the unwanted signal, the goal of the present invention is to eliminate or at least reduce the effects of the unwanted signal to obtain an estimate of the desired signal.
