In recent years, deep neural networks (DNNs) were studied as an alternative to traditional acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) algorithms. The proposed models achieved remarkable performance for the separate tasks of AEC and residual echo suppression (RES). A promising network topology is a fully convolutional recurrent network (FCRN) structure, which has already proven its performance on both noise suppression and AEC tasks, individually. However, the combination of AEC, postfiltering, and noise suppression to a single network typically leads to a noticeable decline in the quality of the near-end speech component due to the lack of a separate loss for echo estimation. In this paper, we propose a two-stage model (Y$^2$-Net) which consists of two FCRNs, each with two inputs and one output (Y-Net). The first stage (AEC) yields an echo estimate, which - as a novelty for a DNN AEC model - is further used by the second stage to perform RES and noise suppression. While the subjective listening test of the Interspeech 2021 AEC Challenge mostly yielded results close to the baseline, the proposed method scored an average improvement of 0.46 points over the baseline on the blind testset in double-talk on the instrumental metric DECMOS, provided by the challenge organizers.

Deep neural network (DNN)-based approaches to acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and hybrid speech enhancement systems have gained increasing attention recently, introducing significant performance improvements to this research field. Using the fully c
onvolutional recurrent network (FCRN) architecture that is among state of the art topologies for noise reduction, we present a novel deep residual echo suppression and noise reduction with up to four input signals as part of a hybrid speech enhancement system with a linear frequency domain adaptive Kalman filter AEC. In an extensive ablation study, we reveal trade-offs with regard to echo suppression, noise reduction, and near-end speech quality, and provide surprising insights to the choice of the FCRN inputs: In contrast to often seen input combinations for this task, we propose not to use the loudspeaker reference signal, but the enhanced signal after AEC, the microphone signal, and the echo estimate, yielding improvements over previous approaches by more than 0.2 PESQ points.
This paper introduces a dual-signal transformation LSTM network (DTLN) for real-time speech enhancement as part of the Deep Noise Suppression Challenge (DNS-Challenge). This approach combines a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and a learned analys
is and synthesis basis in a stacked-network approach with less than one million parameters. The model was trained on 500 h of noisy speech provided by the challenge organizers. The network is capable of real-time processing (one frame in, one frame out) and reaches competitive results. Combining these two types of signal transformations enables the DTLN to robustly extract information from magnitude spectra and incorporate phase information from the learned feature basis. The method shows state-of-the-art performance and outperforms the DNS-Challenge baseline by 0.24 points absolute in terms of the mean opinion score (MOS).
In this paper, the Brno University of Technology (BUT) team submissions for Task 1 (Acoustic Scene Classification, ASC) of the DCASE-2018 challenge are described. Also, the analysis of different methods on the leaderboard set is provided. The propose
d approach is a fusion of two different Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) topologies. The first one is the common two-dimensional CNNs which is mainly used in image classification. The second one is a one-dimensional CNN for extracting fixed-length audio segment embeddings, so called x-vectors, which has also been used in speech processing, especially for speaker recognition. In addition to the different topologies, two types of features were tested: log mel-spectrogram and CQT features. Finally, the outputs of different systems are fused using a simple output averaging in the best performing system. Our submissions ranked third among 24 teams in the ASC sub-task A (task1a).
The Transformer has shown impressive performance in automatic speech recognition. It uses the encoder-decoder structure with self-attention to learn the relationship between the high-level representation of the source inputs and embedding of the targ
et outputs. In this paper, we propose a novel decoder structure that features a self-and-mixed attention decoder (SMAD) with a deep acoustic structure (DAS) to improve the acoustic representation of Transformer-based LVCSR. Specifically, we introduce a self-attention mechanism to learn a multi-layer deep acoustic structure for multiple levels of acoustic abstraction. We also design a mixed attention mechanism that learns the alignment between different levels of acoustic abstraction and its corresponding linguistic information simultaneously in a shared embedding space. The ASR experiments on Aishell-1 shown that the proposed structure achieves CERs of 4.8% on the dev set and 5.1% on the test set, which are the best results obtained on this task to the best of our knowledge.
The use of spatial information with multiple microphones can improve far-field automatic speech recognition (ASR) accuracy. However, conventional microphone array techniques degrade speech enhancement performance when there is an array geometry misma
tch between design and test conditions. Moreover, such speech enhancement techniques do not always yield ASR accuracy improvement due to the difference between speech enhancement and ASR optimization objectives. In this work, we propose to unify an acoustic model framework by optimizing spatial filtering and long short-term memory (LSTM) layers from multi-channel (MC) input. Our acoustic model subsumes beamformers with multiple types of array geometry. In contrast to deep clustering methods that treat a neural network as a black box tool, the network encoding the spatial filters can process streaming audio data in real time without the accumulation of target signal statistics. We demonstrate the effectiveness of such MC neural networks through ASR experiments on the real-world far-field data. We show that our two-channel acoustic model can on average reduce word error rates (WERs) by~13.4 and~12.7% compared to a single channel ASR system with the log-mel filter bank energy (LFBE) feature under the matched and mismatched microphone placement conditions, respectively. Our result also shows that our two-channel network achieves a relative WER reduction of over~7.0% compared to conventional beamforming with seven microphones overall.
