contents Multichannel convolutive blind speech source separation refers to the problem of separating different speech sources from the observed multichannel mixtures without much a priori information about the mixing system. Multichannel nonnegative matrix factorization (MNMF) has been proven to be one of the most powerful separation frameworks and the representative algorithms such as MNMF and the independent low-rank matrix analysis (ILRMA) have demonstrated great performance. However, the sparseness properties of speech source signals are not fully taken into account in such a framework. It is well known that speech signals are sparse in nature, which is considered in this work to improve the separation performance. Specifically, we utilize the Bingham and Laplace distributions to formulate a disjoint constraint regularizer, which is subsequently incorporated into both MNMF and ILRMA. We then derive majorization-minimization rules for updating parameters related to the source model, resulting in the development of two enhanced algorithms: s-MNMF and s-ILRMA. Comprehensive simulations are conducted, and the results unequivocally demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed methodologies.
