Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has recently been applied to temporal decomposition (TD) of speech spectral envelopes represented by line spectral frequencies. A couple of inherent TD constraints, which are otherwise handled as ad hoc exceptions, has also been incorporated using NMF, including LSF ordering and monotonic event functions. Here, these constraints are analyzed and a third inherent constraint is incorporated into an NMF analysis.
