In this paper, we propose a model to perform speech dereverberation by estimating its spectral magnitude from the reverberant counterpart. Our models are capable of extracting features that take into account both short and long-term dependencies in the signal through a convolutional encoder (which extracts features from a short, bounded context of frames) and a recurrent neural network for extracting long-term information. Our model outperforms a recently proposed model that uses different context information depending on the reverberation time, without requiring any sort of additional input, yielding improvements of up to 0.4 on PESQ, 0.3 on STOI, and 1.0 on POLQA relative to reverberant speech. We also show our model is able to generalize to real room impulse responses even when only trained with simulated room impulse responses, different speakers, and high reverberation times. Lastly, listening tests show the proposed method outperforming benchmark models in reduction of perceived reverberation.

Reverberation, which is generally caused by sound reflections from walls, ceilings, and floors, can result in severe performance degradation of acoustic applications. Due to a complicated combination of attenuation and time-delay effects, the reverbe
ration property is difficult to characterize, and it remains a challenging task to effectively retrieve the anechoic speech signals from reverberation ones. In the present study, we proposed a novel integrated deep and ensemble learning algorithm (IDEA) for speech dereverberation. The IDEA consists of offline and online phases. In the offline phase, we train multiple dereverberation models, each aiming to precisely dereverb speech signals in a particular acoustic environment; then a unified fusion function is estimated that aims to integrate the information of multiple dereverberation models. In the online phase, an input utterance is first processed by each of the dereverberation models. The outputs of all models are integrated accordingly to generate the final anechoic signal. We evaluated the IDEA on designed acoustic environments, including both matched and mismatched conditions of the training and testing data. Experimental results confirm that the proposed IDEA outperforms single deep-neural-network-based dereverberation model with the same model architecture and training data.
Deep neural network with dual-path bi-directional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) block has been proved to be very effective in sequence modeling, especially in speech separation, e.g. DPRNN-TasNet cite{luo2019dual}. In this paper, we propose several
improvements of dual-path BiLSTM based network for end-to-end approach to monaural speech separation. Firstly a dual-path network with intra-parallel BiLSTM and inter-parallel BiLSTM components is introduced to reduce performance sub-variances among different branches. Secondly, we propose to use global context aware inter-intra cross-parallel BiLSTM to further perceive the global contextual information. Finally, a spiral multi-stage dual-path BiLSTM is proposed to iteratively refine the separation results of the previous stages. All these networks take the mixed utterance of two speakers and map it to two separate utterances, where each utterance contains only one speakers voice. For the objective, we propose to train the network by directly optimizing the utterance level scale-invariant signal-to-distortion ratio (SI-SDR) in a permutation invariant training (PIT) style. Our experiments on the public WSJ0-2mix data corpus results in 20.55dB SDR improvement, 20.35dB SI-SDR improvement, 3.69 of PESQ, and 94.86% of ESTOI, which shows our proposed networks can lead to performance improvement on the speaker separation task. We have open-sourced our re-implementation of the DPRNN-TasNet in https://github.com/ShiZiqiang/dual-path-RNNs-DPRNNs-based-speech-separation, and our LaFurca is realized based on this implementation of DPRNN-TasNet, it is believed that the results in this paper can be reproduced with ease.
In this paper, we present a method for jointly-learning a microphone selection mechanism and a speech enhancement network for multi-channel speech enhancement with an ad-hoc microphone array. The attention-based microphone selection mechanism is trai
ned to reduce communication-costs through a penalty term which represents a task-performance/ communication-cost trade-off. While working within the trade-off, our method can intelligently stream from more microphones in lower SNR scenes and fewer microphones in higher SNR scenes. We evaluate the model in complex echoic acoustic scenes with moving sources and show that it matches the performance of models that stream from a fixed number of microphones while reducing communication costs.
Multi-channel speech enhancement aims to extract clean speech from a noisy mixture using signals captured from multiple microphones. Recently proposed methods tackle this problem by incorporating deep neural network models with spatial filtering tech
niques such as the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer. In this paper, we introduce a different research direction by viewing each audio channel as a node lying in a non-Euclidean space and, specifically, a graph. This formulation allows us to apply graph neural networks (GNN) to find spatial correlations among the different channels (nodes). We utilize graph convolution networks (GCN) by incorporating them in the embedding space of a U-Net architecture. We use LibriSpeech dataset and simulate room acoustics data to extensively experiment with our approach using different array types, and number of microphones. Results indicate the superiority of our approach when compared to prior state-of-the-art method.
In this paper, we propose a multi-channel network for simultaneous speech dereverberation, enhancement and separation (DESNet). To enable gradient propagation and joint optimization, we adopt the attentional selection mechanism of the multi-channel f
eatures, which is originally proposed in end-to-end unmixing, fixed-beamforming and extraction (E2E-UFE) structure. Furthermore, the novel deep complex convolutional recurrent network (DCCRN) is used as the structure of the speech unmixing and the neural network based weighted prediction error (WPE) is cascaded beforehand for speech dereverberation. We also introduce the staged SNR strategy and symphonic loss for the training of the network to further improve the final performance. Experiments show that in non-dereverberated case, the proposed DESNet outperforms DCCRN and most state-of-the-art structures in speech enhancement and separation, while in dereverberated scenario, DESNet also shows improvements over the cascaded WPE-DCCRN networks.
