We describe a joint acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and blind source extraction (BSE) approach for multi-microphone acoustic frontends. The proposed algorithm blindly estimates AEC and beamforming filters by maximizing the statistical…

Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) is essential for accurate recognition of queries spoken to a smart speaker that is playing out audio. Previous work has shown that a neural AEC model operating on log-mel spectral features (denoted "logmel"…

Deep neural network (DNN)-based approaches to acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and hybrid speech enhancement systems have gained increasing attention recently, introducing significant performance improvements to this research field. Using…

In this paper, we propose NEC (Neural Enhanced Cancellation), a defense mechanism, which prevents unauthorized microphones from capturing a target speaker's voice. Compared with the existing scrambling-based audio cancellation approaches,…

In recent years, neural networks (NNs) have been widely applied in acoustic echo cancellation (AEC). However, existing approaches struggle to meet real-world low-latency and computational requirements while maintaining performance. To…

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) algorithms aim to suppress unwanted acoustic disturbances by generating anti-noise signals that destructively interfere with the original noise in real time. Although recent deep learning-based ANC algorithms…

Traditionally, adaptive filters have been deployed to achieve AEC by estimating the acoustic echo response using algorithms such as the Normalized Least-Mean-Square (NLMS) algorithm. Several approaches have been proposed over recent years…

Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), noise suppression (NS) and automatic gain control (AGC) are three often required modules for real-time communications (RTC). This paper proposes a neural network supported algorithm for RTC, namely NN3A,…

Neural networks have led to tremendous performance gains for single-task speech enhancement, such as noise suppression and acoustic echo cancellation (AEC). In this work, we evaluate whether it is more useful to use a single joint or…

In this paper, we propose Textual Echo Cancellation (TEC) - a framework for cancelling the text-to-speech (TTS) playback echo from overlapping speech recordings. Such a system can largely improve speech recognition performance and user…

In many speech-enabled human-machine interaction scenarios, user speech can overlap with the device playback audio. In these instances, the performance of tasks such as keyword-spotting (KWS) and device-directed speech detection (DDD) can…

Recent work has shown that it is possible to train a single model to perform joint acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), speech enhancement, and voice separation, thereby serving as a unified frontend for robust automatic speech recognition…

Echo and noise suppression is an integral part of a full-duplex communication system. Many recent acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) systems rely on a separate adaptive filtering module for linear echo suppression and a neural module for…

In many speech recording applications, the recorded desired speech is corrupted by both noise and acoustic echo, such that combined noise reduction (NR) and acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) is called for. A common cascaded design…

With the increasing demand for audio communication and online conference, ensuring the robustness of Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) under the complicated acoustic scenario including noise, reverberation and nonlinear distortion has become…

We consider the problem of recognizing speech utterances spoken to a device which is generating a known sound waveform; for example, recognizing queries issued to a digital assistant which is generating responses to previous user inputs.…

Monaural speech enhancement (SE) is an ill-posed problem due to the irreversible degradation process. Recent methods to achieve SE tasks rely solely on positive information, e.g., ground-truth speech and speech-relevant features. Different…

Acoustic echo and background noise can seriously degrade the intelligibility of speech. In practice, echo and noise suppression are usually treated as two separated tasks and can be removed with various digital signal processing (DSP) and…

In this paper, we propose a residual echo suppression method using a UNet neural network that directly maps the outputs of a linear acoustic echo canceler to the desired signal in the spectral domain. This system embeds a design parameter…
