Abstract

The robustness of deep neural networks (DNNs) can be certified through their Lipschitz continuity, which has made the construction of Lipschitz-continuous DNNs an active research field. However, DNNs for audio processing have not been a major focus due to their poor compatibility with existing results. In this paper, we consider the amplitude modifier (AM), a popular architecture for handling audio signals, and propose its Lipschitz-continuous variants, which we refer to as LipsAM. We prove a sufficient condition for an AM to be Lipschitz continuous and propose two architectures as examples of LipsAM. The proposed architectures were applied to a Plug-and-Play algorithm for speech dereverberation, and their improved stability is demonstrated through numerical experiments.
