Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A new methodology is proposed to segregate individual sound streams from a mixture of different kinds of sounds, such as speech and background music. No appropriate methodologies are so far presented to cope with such a sound mixture. The proposed methodology adaptively utilizes verieties of processing methods to deal with such different kinds of sounds. For this purpose, formulation of the sound knowledge representation is required. Therefore, a sound knowledge representation method based on ontology is presented, and then a hierarchical multi-agent architecture is constructed for segregating sound streams. A prototype system for segregating speech and background music is designed.
