Abstract: This paper introduces a multi-microphone method for extracting a desired speaker from a mixture involving multiple speakers and directional noise in a reverberant environment. In this work, we propose leveraging the instantaneous relative transfer function (RTF), estimated from a reference utterance recorded in the same position as the desired source. The effectiveness of the RTF-based spatial cue is compared with direction of arrival (DOA)-based spatial cue and the conventional spectral embedding. Experimental results in challenging acoustic scenarios demonstrate that using spatial cues yields better performance than the spectral-based cue and that the instantaneous RTF outperforms the DOA-based spatial cue.
