The intelligibility and quality of speech from a mobile phone or public announcement system are often affected by background noise in the listening environment. By pre-processing the speech signal it is possible to improve the speech…

This paper considers speech enhancement of signals picked up in one noisy environment which must be presented to a listener in another noisy environment. Recently, it has been shown that an optimal solution to this problem requires the…

Speech enhancement (SE) methods mainly focus on recovering clean speech from noisy input. In real-world speech communication, however, noises often exist in not only speaker but also listener environments. Although SE methods can suppress…

Far-field speech recognition is a challenging task that conventionally uses signal processing beamforming to attack noise and interference problem. But the performance has been found usually limited due to heavy reliance on environmental…

When the parameters of Bayesian Short-time Spectral Amplitude (STSA) estimator for speech enhancement are selected based on the characteristics of the human auditory system, the gain function of the estimator becomes more flexible. Although…

Deep learning has the potential to enhance speech signals and increase their intelligibility for users of hearing aids. Deep models suited for real-world application should feature a low computational complexity and low processing delay of…

Single-channel speech enhancement is utilized in various tasks to mitigate the effect of interfering signals. Conventionally, to ensure the speech enhancement performs optimally, the speech enhancement has needed to be tuned for each task.…

Acoustical mismatch among training and testing phases degrades outstandingly speech recognition results. This problem has limited the development of real-world nonspecific applications, as testing conditions are highly variant or even…

We address the problem of speech enhancement generalisation to unseen environments by performing two manipulations. First, we embed an additional recording from the environment alone, and use this embedding to alter activations in the main…

In this study, we present an approach to train a single speech enhancement network that can perform both personalized and non-personalized speech enhancement. This is achieved by incorporating a frame-wise conditioning input that specifies…

Speech pre-processing techniques such as denoising, de-reverberation, and separation, are commonly employed as front-ends for various downstream speech processing tasks. However, these methods can sometimes be inadequate, resulting in…

Many hearing-impaired listeners struggle to localize sounds due to poor availability of binaural cues. Listeners with a cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid -- so-called bimodal listeners -- are amongst the worst performers, as…

The intelligibility of speech severely degrades in the presence of environmental noise and reverberation. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning based system for modifying the speech signal to increase its intelligibility under the…

This paper proposes a dual-stage, low complexity, and reconfigurable technique to enhance the speech contaminated by various types of noise sources. Driven by input data and audio contents, the proposed dual-stage speech enhancement…

Noise reduction techniques based on deep learning have demonstrated impressive performance in enhancing the overall quality of recorded speech. While these approaches are highly performant, their application in audio engineering can be…

We present a hybrid framework that leverages the trade-off between temporal and frequency precision in audio representations to improve the performance of speech enhancement task. We first show that conventional approaches using specific…

Recent studies in neural network-based monaural speech separation (SS) have achieved a remarkable success thanks to increasing ability of long sequence modeling. However, they would degrade significantly when put under realistic noisy…

Streaming speech enhancement is a crucial task for real-time applications such as online meetings, smart home appliances, and hearing aids. Deep neural network-based approaches achieve exceptional performance while demanding substantial…

This survey overviews various meta-learning approaches used in audio and speech processing scenarios. Meta-learning is used where model performance needs to be maximized with minimum annotated samples, making it suitable for low-sample…

In this paper, we explore an improved framework to train a monoaural neural enhancement model for robust speech recognition. The designed training framework extends the existing mixture invariant training criterion to exploit both unpaired…
