## WHY?

Even though attention is being widely used, it is hard to be considered as probabilistic model as the attention does not marginalize.

## WHAT?

This paper formulated source separation task as getting mixture meight vector of multiple sources in wave form.

Time-domain Audio Separation Network(TasNet) tries to find $m_i$ which is relative contribution to each w while B is N basis signals of shape N x L.

Encoder find w for B by appling 1-D gated convolution layer.

Separation network uses LSTM and FC for masks($m_i$) generation. With w and m found above, d can be found with decoder. The scale-invariant source-to-noise ratio(SI-SNR) is used for loss.

## So?

TasNet not only showed comparable performance in WSJ0-2mix dataset, but also showen to find its own basis.
