{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We present a multi-channel database of overlapping speech for training, evaluation, and detailed analysis of source separation and extraction algorithms: SMS-WSJ -- Spatialized Multi-Speaker Wall Street Journal. It consists of artificially mixed speech taken from the WSJ database, but unlike earlier databases we consider all WSJ0+1 utterances and take care of strictly separating the speaker sets present in the training, validation and test sets. When spatializing the data we ensure a high degree of randomness w.r.t. room size, array center and rotation, as well as speaker position. Furthermore, this paper offers a critical assessment of recently proposed measures of source separation performance. Alongside the code to generate the database we provide a source separation baseline and a Kaldi recipe with competitive word error rates to provide common ground for evaluation."}],"oa":"1","author":[{"first_name":"Lukas","full_name":"Drude, Lukas","last_name":"Drude"},{"last_name":"Heitkaemper","id":"27643","full_name":"Heitkaemper, Jens","first_name":"Jens"},{"last_name":"Boeddeker","id":"40767","full_name":"Boeddeker, Christoph","first_name":"Christoph"},{"first_name":"Reinhold","id":"242","last_name":"Haeb-Umbach","full_name":"Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold"}],"year":"2019","status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","project":[{"_id":"52","name":"Computing Resources Provided by the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing"}],"date_created":"2020-09-16T07:59:46Z","user_id":"40767","citation":{"chicago":"Drude, Lukas, Jens Heitkaemper, Christoph Boeddeker, and Reinhold Haeb-Umbach. “SMS-WSJ: Database, Performance Measures, and Baseline Recipe for Multi-Channel Source Separation and Recognition.” <i>ArXiv E-Prints</i>, 2019.","apa":"Drude, L., Heitkaemper, J., Boeddeker, C., &#38; Haeb-Umbach, R.
