In this paper, we propose a type of neural network with feedback learning in the time domain called FTNet for monaural speech enhancement, where the proposed network consists of three principal components. The first part is called stage recurrent neural network, which is introduced to effectively aggregate the deep feature dependencies across different stages with a memory mechanism and also remove the interference stage by stage. The second part is the convolutional auto-encoder. The third part consists of a series of concatenated gated linear units, which are capable of facilitating the information flow and gradually increasing the receptive fields. Feedback learning is adopted to improve the parameter efficiency and therefore, the number of trainable parameters is effectively reduced without sacrificing its performance. Numerous experiments are conducted on TIMIT corpus and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed network can achieve consistently better performance in terms of both PESQ and STOI scores than two state-of-the-art time domain-based baselines in different conditions.

A person tends to generate dynamic attention towards speech under complicated environments. Based on this phenomenon, we propose a framework combining dynamic attention and recursive learning together for monaural speech enhancement. Apart from a maj or noise reduction network, we design a separated sub-network, which adaptively generates the attention distribution to control the information flow throughout the major network. To effectively decrease the number of trainable parameters, recursive learning is introduced, which means that the network is reused for multiple stages, where the intermediate output in each stage is correlated with a memory mechanism. As a result, a more flexible and better estimation can be obtained. We conduct experiments on TIMIT corpus. Experimental results show that the proposed architecture obtains consistently better performance than recent state-of-the-art models in terms of both PESQ and STOI scores.

This paper proposes a delayed subband LSTM network for online monaural (single-channel) speech enhancement. The proposed method is developed in the short time Fourier transform (STFT) domain. Online processing requires frame-by-frame signal reception and processing. A paramount feature of the proposed method is that the same LSTM is used across frequencies, which drastically reduces the number of network parameters, the amount of training data and the computational burden. Training is performed in a subband manner: the input consists of one frequency, together with a few context frequencies. The network learns a speech-to-noise discriminative function relying on the signal stationarity and on the local spectral pattern, based on which it predicts a clean-speech mask at each frequency. To exploit future information, i.e. look-ahead, we propose an output-delayed subband architecture, which allows the unidirectional forward network to process a few future frames in addition to the current frame. We leverage the proposed method to participate to the DNS real-time speech enhancement challenge. Experiments with the DNS dataset show that the proposed method achieves better performance-measuring scores than the DNS baseline method, which learns the full-band spectra using a gated recurrent unit network.

This paper proposes an noise type classification aided attention-based neural network approach for monaural speech enhancement. The network is constructed based on a previous work by introducing a noise classification subnetwork into the structure an d taking the classification embedding into the attention mechanism for guiding the network to make better feature extraction. Specifically, to make the network an end-to-end way, an audio encoder and decoder constructed by temporal convolution is used to make transformation between waveform and spectrogram. Additionally, our model is composed of two long short term memory (LSTM) based encoders, two attention mechanism, a noise classifier and a speech mask generator. Experiments show that, compared with OM-LSA and the previous work, the proposed noise classification aided attention-based approach can achieve better performance in terms of speech quality (PESQ). More promisingly, our approach has better generalization ability to unseen noise conditions.
Speech enhancement aims to obtain speech signals with high intelligibility and quality from noisy speech. Recent work has demonstrated the excellent performance of time-domain deep learning methods, such as Conv-TasNet. However, these methods can be degraded by the arbitrary scales of the waveform induced by the scale-invariant signal-to-noise ratio (SI-SNR) loss. This paper proposes a new framework called Time-domain Speech Enhancement Generative Adversarial Network (TSEGAN), which is an extension of the generative adversarial network (GAN) in time-domain with metric evaluation to mitigate the scaling problem, and provide model training stability, thus achieving performance improvement. In addition, we provide a new method based on objective function mapping for the theoretical analysis of the performance of Metric GAN, and explain why it is better than the Wasserstein GAN. Experiments conducted demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method, and illustrate the advantage of Metric GAN.
We propose a multi-channel speech enhancement approach with a novel two-stage feature fusion method and a pre-trained acoustic model in a multi-task learning paradigm. In the first fusion stage, the time-domain and frequency-domain features are extra cted separately. In the time domain, the multi-channel convolution sum (MCS) and the inter-channel convolution differences (ICDs) features are computed and then integrated with a 2-D convolutional layer, while in the frequency domain, the log-power spectra (LPS) features from both original channels and super-directive beamforming outputs are combined with another 2-D convolutional layer. To fully integrate the rich information of multi-channel speech, i.e. time-frequency domain features and the array geometry, we apply a third 2-D convolutional layer in the second stage of fusion to obtain the final convolutional features. Furthermore, we propose to use a fixed clean acoustic model trained with the end-to-end lattice-free maximum mutual information criterion to enforce the enhanced output to have the same distribution as the clean waveform to alleviate the over-estimation problem of the enhancement task and constrain distortion. On the Task1 development dataset of the ConferencingSpeech 2021 challenge, a PESQ improvement of 0.24 and 0.19 is attained compared to the official baseline and a recently proposed multi-channel separation method.
