Reverberation and additive noise have detrimental effects on the performance of automatic speech recognition systems. In this paper we explore the ability of a DNN-based spectral feature mapping to remove the effects of reverberation and…
Speech recognition system performance degrades in noisy environments. If the acoustic models are built using features of clean utterances, the features of a noisy test utterance would be acoustically mismatched with the trained model. This…

We propose a data-driven design method of perfect-reconstruction filterbank (PRFB) for sound-source enhancement (SSE) based on deep neural network (DNN). DNNs have been used to estimate a time-frequency (T-F) mask in the short-time Fourier…
Conventional deep neural network (DNN)-based speech enhancement (SE) approaches aim to minimize the mean square error (MSE) between enhanced speech and clean reference. The MSE-optimized model may not directly improve the performance of an…

Distant speech recognition is a challenge, particularly due to the corruption of speech signals by reverberation caused by large distances between the speaker and microphone. In order to cope with a wide range of reverberations in…

Mel-scale spectrum features are used in various recognition and classification tasks on speech signals. There is no reason to expect that these features are optimal for all different tasks, including speaker verification (SV). This paper…
We address far-field speaker verification with deep neural network (DNN) based speaker embedding extractor, where mismatch between enrollment and test data often comes from convolutive effects (e.g. room reverberation) and noise. To…

Speech communication systems are prone to performance degradation in reverberant and noisy acoustic environments. Dereverberation and noise reduction algorithms typically require several model parameters, e.g. the speech, reverberation and…
