This study motivates the use of structured sparsity models for efficient recovery of speech. We formulate the underdetermined convolutive speech separation in spectro-temporal domain as the sparse signal recovery where we leverage model-based recovery algorithms. To tackle the ambiguity of the real acoustics, we exploit the Image Model of the enclosures to estimate the room impulse response function through a structured sparsity constraint optimization. The experiments conducted on real data recordings demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for multi-party speech applications.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2011/Asaei_Idiap-RR-22-2011.pdf} }
