A Geometric Approach for Separating Several Speech Signals

In this paper a new geometrical approach for separating speech signals is presented. This approach can be directly applied to separate more than two speech signals. It is based on clustering the observation points, and then fitting a line (hyper-plane) onto each cluster. The algorithm quality is shown to be improved by using DCT coefficients of speech signals, as opposed to using speech samples.
