title: Attractor-Based Speech Separation of Multiple Utterances by Unknown Number of Speakers
abstract: This paper addresses the problem of single-channel speech separation, where the number of speakers is unknown, and each speaker may speak multiple utterances. We propose a speech separation model that simultaneously performs separation, dynamically estimates the number of speakers, and detects individual speaker activities by integrating an attractor module. The proposed system outperforms existing methods by introducing an attractor-based architecture that effectively combines local and global
