kernel additive modelling (KAM) is a framework for source separation aiming to explicitly model inherent properties of sound sources to help with their identification and separation. KAM separates a given source by applying robust statistics on the selection of time-frequency bins obtained through a source-specific kernel, typically the k-NN function. Even though the parameter k appears to be key for a successful separation, little discussion on its influence or optimisation can be found in the literature. Here we propose a novel method, based on graph theory statistics, to automatically optimise k in a vocal separation task. We introduce the k-NN hubness as an indicator to find a tailored k at a low computational cost. Subsequently, we evaluate our method in comparison to the common approach to choose k. We further discuss the influence and importance of this parameter with illuminating results.

In live and studio recordings unexpected sound events often lead to interferences in the signal. For non-stationary interferences, sound source separation techniques can be used to reduce the interference level in the recording. In this context, we present a novel approach combining the strengths of two algorithmic families: NMF and KAM. The recent KAM approach applies robust statistics on frames selected by a source-specific kernel to perform source separation. Based on semi-supervised NMF, we extend this approach in two ways. First, we locate the interference in the recording based on detected NMF activity. Second, we improve the kernel-based frame selection by incorporating an NMF-based estimate of the clean music signal. Further, we introduce a temporal context in the kernel, taking some musical structure into account. Our experiments show improved separation quality for our proposed method over a state-of-the-art approach for interference reduction.

It is a major problem for the sound engineers to find the right balance between the dialogue signals and the ambient sources. This problem also makes one of the main causes of the audience concerns. The audience wants to arrange the sound balance based on their personal preferences, listening environment and their hearing. In this work, a method is proposed for enhancing the dialogue signals in stereo recordings that consist of more than one source. The kernel additive modelling that has been used successfully in sound source separation is used to extract the dialogues and the ambient sources from the movie sounds. The separated dialogue and ambient sources can later be upmixed by the user to make a personal mix. The separation performance of the proposed method is evaluated on the sounds generated by mixing the sources which were taken from the only dialogue and only music parts of the movies. It has been shown that the kernel additive modelling (KAM) based method can be successfully used for dialogue enhancement.
Recently, kernel additive modelling (KAM) was proposed as a unified framework to achieve multichannel audio source separation. Its main feature is to use kernel models for locally describing the spectrograms of the so...
