Hybrid Y-Net Architecture for Singing Voice Separation

Abstract

This research paper presents a novel deep learning-based neural network architecture, named Y-Net, for achieving music source separation. The proposed architecture performs end-to-end hybrid source separation by extracting features from both spectrogram and waveform domains. Inspired by the U-Net architecture, Y-Net predicts a spectrogram mask to separate vocal sources from a mixture signal. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture for music source separation with fewer parameters. Overall, our work presents a promising approach for improving the accuracy and efficiency of music source separation.
