For dual-channel speech enhancement, it is a promising idea to design an end-to-end model based on the traditional array signal processing guideline and the manifold space of multi-channel signals. We found that the idea above can be effectively implemented by the classical convolutional recurrent neural networks (CRN) architecture. We propose a very compact in place gated convolutional recurrent neural network (inplace GCRN) for end-to-end multi-channel speech enhancement, which utilizes inplace-convolution for frequency pattern extraction and reconstruction. The inplace characteristics efficiently preserve spatial cues in each frequency bin for channel-wise long short-term memory neural networks (LSTM) tracing the spatial source. In addition, we come up with a new spectrum recovery method by predict amplitude mask, mapping, and phase, which effectively improves the speech quality.

Due to the simple design pipeline, end-to-end (E2E) neural models for speech enhancement (SE) have attracted great interest. In order to improve the performance of the E2E model, the locality and temporal sequential properties of speech should be eff
iciently taken into account when modelling. However, in most current E2E models for SE, these properties are either not fully considered or are too complex to be realized. In this paper, we propose an efficient E2E SE model, termed WaveCRN. In WaveCRN, the speech locality feature is captured by a convolutional neural network (CNN), while the temporal sequential property of the locality feature is modeled by stacked simple recurrent units (SRU). Unlike a conventional temporal sequential model that uses a long short-term memory (LSTM) network, which is difficult to parallelize, SRU can be efficiently parallelized in calculation with even fewer model parameters. In addition, in order to more effectively suppress the noise components in the input noisy speech, we derive a novel restricted feature masking (RFM) approach that performs enhancement on the feature maps in the hidden layers; this is different from the approach that applies the estimated ratio mask on the noisy spectral features, which is commonly used in speech separation methods. Experimental results on speech denoising and compressed speech restoration tasks confirm that with the lightweight architecture of SRU and the feature-mapping-based RFM, WaveCRN performs comparably with other state-of-the-art approaches with notably reduced model complexity and inference time.
In this work, we propose an overlapped speech detection system trained as a three-class classifier. Unlike conventional systems that perform binary classification as to whether or not a frame contains overlapped speech, the proposed approach classifi
es into three classes: non-speech, single speaker speech, and overlapped speech. By training a network with the more detailed label definition, the model can learn a better notion on deciding the number of speakers included in a given frame. A convolutional recurrent neural network architecture is explored to benefit from both convolutional layers capability to model local patterns and recurrent layers ability to model sequential information. The proposed overlapped speech detection model establishes a state-of-the-art performance with a precision of 0.6648 and a recall of 0.3222 on the DIHARD II evaluation set, showing a 20% increase in recall along with higher precision. In addition, we also introduce a simple approach to utilize the proposed overlapped speech detection model for speaker diarization which ranked third place in the Track 1 of the DIHARD III challenge.
A field that has directly benefited from the recent advances in deep learning is Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). Despite the great achievements of the past decades, however, a natural and robust human-machine speech interaction still appears to b
e out of reach, especially in challenging environments characterized by significant noise and reverberation. To improve robustness, modern speech recognizers often employ acoustic models based on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), that are naturally able to exploit large time contexts and long-term speech modulations. It is thus of great interest to continue the study of proper techniques for improving the effectiveness of RNNs in processing speech signals. In this paper, we revise one of the most popular RNN models, namely Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs), and propose a simplified architecture that turned out to be very effective for ASR. The contribution of this work is two-fold: First, we analyze the role played by the reset gate, showing that a significant redundancy with the update gate occurs. As a result, we propose to remove the former from the GRU design, leading to a more efficient and compact single-gate model. Second, we propose to replace hyperbolic tangent with ReLU activations. This variation couples well with batch normalization and could help the model learn long-term dependencies without numerical issues. Results show that the proposed architecture, called Light GRU (Li-GRU), not only reduces the per-epoch training time by more than 30% over a standard GRU, but also consistently improves the recognition accuracy across different tasks, input features, noisy conditions, as well as across different ASR paradigms, ranging from standard DNN-HMM speech recognizers to end-to-end CTC models.
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).
Deep learning has achieved substantial improvement on single-channel speech enhancement tasks. However, the performance of multi-layer perceptions (MLPs)-based methods is limited by the ability to capture the long-term effective history information.
The recurrent neural networks (RNNs), e.g., long short-term memory (LSTM) model, are able to capture the long-term temporal dependencies, but come with the issues of the high latency and the complexity of training.To address these issues, the temporal convolutional network (TCN) was proposed to replace the RNNs in various sequence modeling tasks. In this paper we propose a novel TCN model that employs multi-branch structure, called multi-branch TCN (MB-TCN), for monaural speech enhancement.The MB-TCN exploits split-transform-aggregate design, which is expected to obtain strong representational power at a low computational complexity.Inspired by the TCN, the MB-TCN model incorporates one dimensional causal dilated CNN and residual learning to expand receptive fields for capturing long-term temporal contextual information.Our extensive experimental investigation suggests that the MB-TCNs outperform the residual long short-term memory networks (ResLSTMs), temporal convolutional networks (TCNs), and the CNN networks that employ dense aggregations in terms of speech intelligibility and quality, while providing superior parameter efficiency. Furthermore, our experimental results demonstrate that our proposed MB-TCN model is able to outperform multiple state-of-the-art deep learning-based speech enhancement methods in terms of five widely used objective metrics.
