Time-frequency representations such as the spectrogram are commonly used to analyze signals having a time-varying distribution of spectral energy, but the spectrogram is constrained by an unfortunate tradeoff between resolution in time and frequency. A method of achieving high-resolution spectral representations has been independently introduced by several parties. The technique has been variously named reassignment and remapping, but while the implementations have differed in details, they are all based on the same theoretical and mathematical foundation. In this work, we present a brief history of work on the method we will call the method of time-frequency reassignment, and present a unified mathematical description of the technique and its derivation. We will focus on the development of time-frequency reassignment in the context of the spectrogram, and conclude with a discussion of some current applications of the reassigned spectrogram.

Recent works have shown that Deep Recurrent Neural Networks using the LSTM architecture can achieve strong single-channel speech enhancement by estimating time-frequency masks. However, these models do not naturally generalize to multi-channel inputs
from varying microphone configurations. In contrast, spatial clustering techniques can achieve such generalization but lack a strong signal model. Our work proposes a combination of the two approaches. By using LSTMs to enhance spatial clustering based time-frequency masks, we achieve both the signal modeling performance of multiple single-channel LSTM-DNN speech enhancers and the signal separation performance and generality of multi-channel spatial clustering. We compare our proposed system to several baselines on the CHiME-3 dataset. We evaluate the quality of the audio from each system using SDR from the BSS_eval toolkit and PESQ. We evaluate the intelligibility of the output of each system using word error rate from a Kaldi automatic speech recognizer.
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.
We propose a unified approach to data-driven source-filter modeling using a single neural network for developing a neural vocoder capable of generating high-quality synthetic speech waveforms while retaining flexibility of the source-filter model to
control their voice characteristics. Our proposed network called unified source-filter generative adversarial networks (uSFGAN) is developed by factorizing quasi-periodic parallel WaveGAN (QPPWG), one of the neural vocoders based on a single neural network, into a source excitation generation network and a vocal tract resonance filtering network by additionally implementing a regularization loss. Moreover, inspired by neural source filter (NSF), only a sinusoidal waveform is additionally used as the simplest clue to generate a periodic source excitation waveform while minimizing the effect of approximations in the source filter model. The experimental results demonstrate that uSFGAN outperforms conventional neural vocoders, such as QPPWG and NSF in both speech quality and pitch controllability.
Cochlear implant users struggle to understand speech in reverberant environments. To restore speech perception, artifacts dominated by reverberant reflections can be removed from the cochlear implant stimulus. Artifacts can be identified and removed
by applying a matrix of gain values, a technique referred to as time-frequency masking. Gain values are determined by an oracle algorithm that uses knowledge of the undistorted signal to minimize retention of the signal components dominated by reverberant reflections. In practice, gain values are estimated from the distorted signal, with the oracle algorithm providing the estimation objective. Different oracle techniques exist for determining gain values, and each technique must be parameterized to set the amount of signal retention. This work assesses which oracle masking strategies and parameterizations lead to the best improvements in speech intelligibility for cochlear implant users in reverberant conditions using online speech intelligibility testing of normal-hearing individuals with vocoding.
This paper introduces an improved target speaker extractor, referred to as Speakerfilter-Pro, based on our previous Speakerfilter model. The Speakerfilter uses a bi-direction gated recurrent unit (BGRU) module to characterize the target speaker from
anchor speech and use a convolutional recurrent network (CRN) module to separate the target speech from a noisy signal.Different from the Speakerfilter, the Speakerfilter-Pro sticks a WaveUNet module in the beginning and the ending, respectively. The WaveUNet has been proven to have a better ability to perform speech separation in the time domain. In order to extract the target speaker information better, the complex spectrum instead of the magnitude spectrum is utilized as the input feature for the CRN module. Experiments are conducted on the two-speaker dataset (WSJ0-mix2) which is widely used for speaker extraction. The systematic evaluation shows that the Speakerfilter-Pro outperforms the Speakerfilter and other baselines, and achieves a signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR) of 14.95 dB.
