The combination of a deep neural network (DNN) -based speech enhancement (SE) front-end and an automatic speech recognition (ASR) back-end is a widely used approach to implement overlapping speech recognition. However, the SE front-end…

As dialogue systems are becoming more and more interactional and social, also the accurate automatic speech recognition (ASR) of conversational speech is of increasing importance. This shifts the focus from short, spontaneous, task-oriented…

Speech-related applications deliver inferior performance in complex noise environments. Therefore, this study primarily addresses this problem by introducing speech-enhancement (SE) systems based on deep neural networks (DNNs) applied to a…

Spectral mapping uses a deep neural network (DNN) to map directly from noisy speech to clean speech. Our previous study found that the performance of spectral mapping improves greatly when using helpful cues from an acoustic model trained…

The word error rate (WER) of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system increases when a mismatch occurs between the training and the testing conditions due to the noise, etc. In this case, the acoustic information can be less reliable.…

The robustness of the Kalman filter to double talk and its rapid convergence make it a popular approach for addressing acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) challenges. However, the inability to model nonlinearity and the need to tune control…
