Performance of the best bootstrapped network (α=2) vs performance of direction of arrival primitive used to train that network on the test set. Every dot represents a mixture in the test set. Points on the red line have equal performance by both approaches. Points to the right of the line mean the primitive out-performed the bootstrapped network. Points to the left of the line mean the bootstrapped network out-performed the primitive.
Below is an example of the bootstrapped model, the direction of arrival primitive, and a model that is trained from ground truth all run on the same mixture.
Performance of bootstrapping compared to other methods. The bootstrapped model significantly out-performs primitive clustering, which was used to train it, but falls short of the performance of the ground truth model in terms of SDR and SIR.
Below is an example separation via the bootstrapped model, primitive clustering (which it was trained from), and a model that is trained from ground truth all on the same mixture. All of these are done with binary masking to better hear the effect of separation and make for easier comparison between the methods.
