Query: Coarse-to-Fine Recursive Speech Separation for Unknown Number of
  Speakers   The vast majority of speech separation methods assume that the number of
speakers is known in advance, hence they are specific to the number of
speakers. By contrast, a more realistic and challenging task is to separate a
mixture in which the number of speakers is unknown. This paper formulates the
speech separation with the unknown number of speakers as a multi-pass source
extraction problem and proposes a coarse-to-fine recursive speech separation
method. This method comprises two stages, namely, recursive cue extraction and
target speaker extraction. The recursive cue extraction stage determines how
many computational iterations need to be performed and outputs a coarse cue
speech by monitoring statistics in the mixture. As the number of recursive
iterations increases, the accumulation of distortion eventually comes into the
extracted speech and reminder. Therefore, in the second stage, we use a target
speaker extraction network to extract a fine speech based on the coarse target
cue and the original distortionless mixture. Experiments show that the proposed
method archived state-of-the-art performance on the WSJ0 dataset with a
different number of speakers. Furthermore, it generalizes well to an unseen
large number of speakers.
