Independent Component Analysis and Signal Separation, International Conference on
Abstract: We present a novel method for blind separation of instruments in polyphonic music based on a non-negative matrix factor 2-D deconvolution algorithm. Using a model which is convolutive in both time and frequency we factorize a spectrogram representation of music into components corresponding to individual instruments. Based on this factorization we separate the instruments using spectrogram masking. The proposed algorithm has applications in computational auditory scene analysis, music information retrieval, and automatic music transcription.
