For speech-related applications in IoT environments, identifying effective methods to handle interference noises and compress the amount of data in transmissions is essential to achieve high-quality services. In this study, we propose a novel multi-input multi-output speech compression and enhancement (MIMO-SCE) system based on a convolutional denoising autoencoder (CDAE) model to simultaneously improve speech quality and reduce the dimensions of transmission data. Compared with conventional single-channel and multi-input single-output systems, MIMO systems can be employed in applications that handle multiple acoustic signals need to be handled. We investigated two CDAE models, a fully convolutional network (FCN) and a Sinc FCN, as the core models in MIMO systems. The experimental results confirm that the proposed MIMO-SCE framework effectively improves speech quality and intelligibility while reducing the amount of recording data by a factor of 7 for transmission.

Deep learning-based models have greatly advanced the performance of speech enhancement (SE) systems. However, two problems remain unsolved, which are closely related to model generalizability to noisy conditions: (1) mismatched noisy condition during
testing, i.e., the performance is generally sub-optimal when models are tested with unseen noise types that are not involved in the training data; (2) local focus on specific noisy conditions, i.e., models trained using multiple types of noises cannot optimally remove a specific noise type even though the noise type has been involved in the training data. These problems are common in real applications. In this paper, we propose a novel denoising autoencoder with a multi-branched encoder (termed DAEME) model to deal with these two problems. In the DAEME model, two stages are involved: training and testing. In the training stage, we build multiple component models to form a multi-branched encoder based on a decision tree (DSDT). The DSDT is built based on prior knowledge of speech and noisy conditions (the speaker, environment, and signal factors are considered in this paper), where each component of the multi-branched encoder performs a particular mapping from noisy to clean speech along the branch in the DSDT. Finally, a decoder is trained on top of the multi-branched encoder. In the testing stage, noisy speech is first processed by each component model. The multiple outputs from these models are then integrated into the decoder to determine the final enhanced speech. Experimental results show that DAEME is superior to several baseline models in terms of objective evaluation metrics, automatic speech recognition results, and quality in subjective human listening tests.
Performance of learning based Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is susceptible to noise, especially when it is introduced in the testing data while not presented in the training data. This work focuses on a feature enhancement for noise robust end-t
o-end ASR system by introducing a novel variant of denoising autoencoder (DAE). The proposed method uses skip connections in both encoder and decoder sides by passing speech information of the target frame from input to the model. It also uses a new objective function in training model that uses a correlation distance measure in penalty terms by measuring dependency of the latent target features and the model (latent features and enhanced features obtained from the DAE). Performance of the proposed method was compared against a conventional model and a state of the art model under both seen and unseen noisy environments of 7 different types of background noise with different SNR levels (0, 5, 10 and 20 dB). The proposed method also is tested using linear and non-linear penalty terms as well, where, they both show an improvement on the overall average WER under noisy conditions both seen and unseen in comparison to the state-of-the-art model.
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.
Naturalistic speech recordings usually contain speech signals from multiple speakers. This phenomenon can degrade the performance of speech technologies due to the complexity of tracing and recognizing individual speakers. In this study, we investiga
te the detection of overlapping speech on segments as short as 25 ms using Convolutional Neural Networks. We evaluate the detection performance using different spectral features, and show that pyknogram features outperforms other commonly used speech features. The proposed system can predict overlapping speech with an accuracy of 84% and Fscore of 88% on a dataset of mixed speech generated based on the GRID dataset.
Deep learning technology has been widely applied to speech enhancement. While testing the effectiveness of various network structures, researchers are also exploring the improvement of the loss function used in network training. Although the existing
methods have considered the auditory characteristics of speech or the reasonable expression of signal-to-noise ratio, the correlation with the auditory evaluation score and the applicability of the calculation for gradient optimization still need to be improved. In this paper, a signal-to-noise ratio loss function based on auditory power compression is proposed. The experimental results show that the overall correlation between the proposed function and the indexes of objective speech intelligibility, which is better than other loss functions. For the same speech enhancement model, the training effect of this method is also better than other comparison methods.
