Speech separation study reveals SI-SDR limitations with noisy references

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have investigated the effectiveness of the Scale-Invariant Signal-to-Distortion Ratio (SI-SDR) in speech separation when training data includes noisy references. Their analysis revealed that noise in references can limit achievable SI-SDR and introduce unwanted noise into separated outputs. To mitigate this, they proposed a method to enhance references and augment training data, which showed reduced noise but also potential for processing artifacts. AI

IMPACT Highlights limitations in current speech separation metrics, potentially guiding future research in audio AI.

    A Study of the Scale Invariant Signal to Distortion Ratio in Speech Separation with Noisy References

    arXiv:2508.14623v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper examines the implications of using the Scale-Invariant Signal-to-Distortion Ratio (SI-SDR) as both evaluation and training objective in supervised speech separation, when the training references contain noise, a…
