The 2011 Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign (SiSEC2011): - Audio Source Separation -

This paper summarizes the audio part of the 2011 community-based Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign (SiSEC2011). Four speech and music datasets were contributed, including datasets recorded in noisy or dynamic environments and a subset of the SiSEC2010 datasets. The participants addressed one or more tasks out of four source separation tasks, and the results for each task were evaluated using different objective performance criteria. We provide an overview of the audio datasets, tasks and criteria. We also report the results achieved with the submitted systems, and discuss organization strategies for future campaigns.
