Reverberation is present in our workplaces, our homes, concert halls and theatres. This paper investigates how deep learning can use the effect of reverberation on speech to classify a recording in terms of the room in which it was recorded. Existing approaches in the literature rely on domain expertise to manually select acoustic parameters as inputs to classifiers. Estimation of these parameters from reverberant speech is adversely affected by estimation errors, impacting the classification accuracy. In order to overcome the limitations of previously proposed methods, this paper shows how DNNs can perform the classification by operating directly on reverberant speech spectra and a CRNN with an attention-mechanism is proposed for the task. The relationship is investigated between the reverberant speech representations learned by the DNNs and acoustic parameters. For evaluation, AIRs are used from the ACE-challenge dataset that were measured in 7 real rooms. The classification accuracy of the CRNN classifier in the experiments is 78% when using 5 hours of training data and 90% when using 10 hours.
Recently neural architecture search(NAS) has been successfully used in image classification, natural language processing, and automatic speech recognition(ASR) tasks for finding the state-of-the-art(SOTA) architectures than those human-designed archi
Voice activity detection (VAD) is an essential pre-processing step for tasks such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speaker recognition. A basic goal is to remove silent segments within an audio, while a more general VAD system could remove a
Today, many state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems apply all-neural models that map audio to word sequences trained end-to-end along one global optimisation criterion in a fully data driven fashion. These models allow high precis
Silent speech interfaces (SSI) has been an exciting area of recent interest. In this paper, we present a non-invasive silent speech interface that uses inaudible acoustic signals to capture peoples lip movements when they speak. We exploit the speake
Multi-speaker speech recognition has been one of the keychallenges in conversation transcription as it breaks the singleactive speaker assumption employed by most state-of-the-artspeech recognition systems. Speech separation is consideredas a remedy
