Rethinking the Separation Layers in Speech Separation Networks

Modules in all existing speech separation networks can be categorized into single-input-multi-output (SIMO) modules and single-input-single-output (SISO) modules. SIMO modules generate more outputs than input, and SISO modules keep the numbers of input and output the same. While the majority of separation models only contain SIMO architectures, it has also been shown that certain two-stage separat...
