Abstract
A method processes an acoustic signal that is a mixture of a target signal and interfering signals by first enhancing the acoustic signal by a set of enhancement procedures to produce a set of initial enhanced signals. Then, an ensemble learning procedure is applied to the acoustic signal and the set of initial enhancement signals to produce features of the acoustic signal.
