Despite successful applications of end-to-end approaches in multi-channel speech recognition, the performance still degrades severely when the speech is corrupted by reverberation. In this paper, we integrate the dereverberation module into the end-to-end multi-channel speech recognition system and explore two different frontend architectures. First, a multi-source mask-based weighted prediction error (WPE) module is incorporated in the frontend for dereverberation. Second, another novel frontend architecture is proposed, which extends the weighted power minimization distortionless response (WPD) convolutional beamformer to perform simultaneous separation and dereverberation. We derive a new formulation from the original WPD, which can handle multi-source input, and replace eigenvalue decomposition with the matrix inverse operation to make the back-propagation algorithm more stable. The above two architectures are optimized in a fully end-to-end manner, only using the speech recognition criterion. Experiments on both spatialized wsj1-2mix corpus and REVERB show that our proposed model outperformed the conventional methods in reverberant scenarios.
Recently, the end-to-end approach has been successfully applied to multi-speaker speech separation and recognition in both single-channel and multichannel conditions. However, severe performance degradation is still observed in the reverberant and no
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
The task of speech recognition in far-field environments is adversely affected by the reverberant artifacts that elicit as the temporal smearing of the sub-band envelopes. In this paper, we develop a neural model for speech dereverberation using the
The end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) offers several advantages over previous efforts for recognizing speech. However, in reverberant conditions, E2E ASR is a challenging task as the long-term sub-band envelopes of the reverberant s
End-to-end acoustic speech recognition has quickly gained widespread popularity and shows promising results in many studies. Specifically the joint transformer/CTC model provides very good performance in many tasks. However, under noisy and distorted
