Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Multi-channel non-negative matrix factorization (MNMF) achieves a high sound source separation performance but its initial value dependency is a problem. To address this, some studies proposed that initial spatial correlation matrices are obtained from enhanced speech after binary masking or from rank 1 approximation. Rank 1 approximation is effective because the number of parameters to be estimated is relatively small. However, the experimental comparison between initialization from full-rank spatial correlation matrices and rank 1 approximated ones is necessary. In addition, in the case of rank 1 approximation, when the number of channels is much greater than that of sound sources, the update of spatial correlation matrices becomes unstable. To avoid this, this paper proposes an utterance division for averaging spatial correlation matrices of each division with rank 1 approximation. Experiments show that the proposed method improved the performance of MNMF and stabilized the update of spatial correlation matrices.
