The most recent deep neural network (DNN) models exhibit impressive denoising performance in the time-frequency (T-F) magnitude domain. However, the phase is also a critical component of the speech signal that is easily overlooked. In this paper, we propose a multi-branch dilated convolutional network (DCN) to simultaneously enhance the magnitude and phase of noisy speech. A causal and robust monaural speech enhancement system is achieved based on the multi-objective learning framework of the complex spectrum and the ideal ratio mask (IRM) targets. In the process of joint learning, the intermediate estimation of IRM targets is used as a way of generating feature attention factors to realize the information interaction between the two targets. Moreover, the proposed multi-scale dilated convolution enables the DCN model to have a more efficient temporal modeling capability. Experimental results show that compared with other state-of-the-art models, this model achieves better speech quality and intelligibility with less computation.

This paper proposes a full-band and sub-band fusion model, named as FullSubNet, for single-channel real-time speech enhancement. Full-band and sub-band refer to the models that input full-band and sub-band noisy spectral feature, output full-band and sub-band speech target, respectively. The sub-band model processes each frequency independently. Its input consists of one frequency and several context frequencies. The output is the prediction of the clean speech target for the corresponding frequency. These two types of models have distinct characteristics. The full-band model can capture the global spectral context and the long-distance cross-band dependencies. However, it lacks the ability to modeling signal stationarity and attending the local spectral pattern. The sub-band model is just the opposite. In our proposed FullSubNet, we connect a pure full-band model and a pure sub-band model sequentially and use practical joint training to integrate these two types of models advantages. We conducted experiments on the DNS challenge (INTERSPEECH 2020) dataset to evaluate the proposed method. Experimental results show that full-band and sub-band information are complementary, and the FullSubNet can effectively integrate them. Besides, the performance of the FullSubNet also exceeds that of the top-ranked methods in the DNS Challenge (INTERSPEECH 2020).
Deep complex convolution recurrent network (DCCRN), which extends CRN with complex structure, has achieved superior performance in MOS evaluation in Interspeech 2020 deep noise suppression challenge (DNS2020). This paper further extends DCCRN with th e following significant revisions. We first extend the model to sub-band processing where the bands are split and merged by learnable neural network filters instead of engineered FIR filters, leading to a faster noise suppressor trained in an end-to-end manner. Then the LSTM is further substituted with a complex TF-LSTM to better model temporal dependencies along both time and frequency axes. Moreover, instead of simply concatenating the output of each encoder layer to the input of the corresponding decoder layer, we use convolution blocks to first aggregate essential information from the encoder output before feeding it to the decoder layers. We specifically formulate the decoder with an extra a priori SNR estimation module to maintain good speech quality while removing noise. Finally a post-processing module is adopted to further suppress the unnatural residual noise. The new model, named DCCRN+, has surpassed the original DCCRN as well as several competitive models in terms of PESQ and DNSMOS, and has achieved superior performance in the new Interspeech 2021 DNS challenge

This paper addresses the problem of microphone array generalization for deep-learning-based end-to-end multichannel speech enhancement. We aim to train a unique deep neural network (DNN) potentially performing well on unseen microphone arrays. The mi crophone array geometry shapes the networks parameters when training on a fixed microphone array, and thus restricts the generalization of the trained network to another microphone array. To resolve this problem, a single network is trained using data recorded by various microphone arrays of different geometries. We design three variants of our recently proposed narrowband network to cope with the agnostic number of microphones. Overall, the goal is to make the network learn the universal information for speech enhancement that is available for any array geometry, rather than learn the one-array-dedicated characteristics. The experiments on both simulated and real room impulse responses (RIR) demonstrate the excellent across-array generalization capability of the proposed networks, in the sense that their performance measures are very close to, or even exceed the network trained with test arrays. Moreover, they notably outperform various beamforming methods and other advanced deep-learning-based methods.

Speech enhancement has benefited from the success of deep learning in terms of intelligibility and perceptual quality. Conventional time-frequency (TF) domain methods focus on predicting TF-masks or speech spectrum, via a naive convolution neural net work (CNN) or recurrent neural network (RNN). Some recent studies use complex-valued spectrogram as a training target but train in a real-valued network, predicting the magnitude and phase component or real and imaginary part, respectively. Particularly, convolution recurrent network (CRN) integrates a convolutional encoder-decoder (CED) structure and long short-term memory (LSTM), which has been proven to be helpful for complex targets. In order to train the complex target more effectively, in this paper, we design a new network structure simulating the complex-valued operation, called Deep Complex Convolution Recurrent Network (DCCRN), where both CNN and RNN structures can handle complex-valued operation. The proposed DCCRN models are very competitive over other previous networks, either on objective or subjective metric. With only 3.7M parameters, our DCCRN models submitted to the Interspeech 2020 Deep Noise Suppression (DNS) challenge ranked first for the real-time-track and second for the non-real-time track in terms of Mean Opinion Score (MOS).

Speech separation has been successfully applied as a frontend processing module of conversation transcription systems thanks to its ability to handle overlapped speech and its flexibility to combine with downstream tasks such as automatic speech reco gnition (ASR). However, a speech separation model often introduces target speech distortion, resulting in a sub-optimum word error rate (WER). In this paper, we describe our efforts to improve the performance of a single channel speech separation system. Specifically, we investigate a two-stage training scheme that firstly applies a feature level optimization criterion for pretraining, followed by an ASR-oriented optimization criterion using an end-to-end (E2E) speech recognition model. Meanwhile, to keep the model light-weight, we introduce a modified teacher-student learning technique for model compression. By combining those approaches, we achieve a absolute average WER improvement of 2.70% and 0.77% using models with less than 10M parameters compared with the previous state-of-the-art results on the LibriCSS dataset for utterance-wise evaluation and continuous evaluation, respectively
