Target speech extraction, which extracts the speech of a target speaker in a mixture given auxiliary speaker clues, has recently received increased interest. Various clues have been investigated such as pre-recorded enrollment utterances, direction information, or video of the target speaker. In this paper, we explore the use of speaker activity information as an auxiliary clue for single-channel neural network-based speech extraction. We propose a speaker activity driven speech extraction neura
