In real life, room effect, also known as room reverberation, and the present background noise degrade the quality of speech. Recently, deep learning-based speech enhancement approaches have shown a lot of promise and surpassed traditional…

Single-channel speaker distance estimation has recently achieved centimeter-level accuracy in simulated environments, yet it remains unclear which components of the room impulse response (RIR) the model exploits and how performance depends…

When recorded in an enclosed room, a sound signal will most certainly get affected by reverberation. This not only undermines audio quality, but also poses a problem for many human-machine interaction technologies that use speech as their…

Single-channel speech dereverberation aims at extracting a dry speech signal from a recording affected by the acoustic reflections in a room. However, most current deep learning-based approaches for speech dereverberation are not…

Methods are proposed for modifying the reverberation characteristics of sound fields in rooms by employing a loudspeaker with adjustable directivity, realized with a compact spherical loudspeaker array (SLA). These methods are based on…

Reverberation is damaging to both the quality and the intelligibility of a speech signal. We propose a novel single-channel method of dereverberation based on a linear filter in the Short Time Fourier Transform domain. Each enhanced frame…

One key aspect differentiating data-driven single- and multi-channel speech enhancement and dereverberation methods is that both the problem formulation and complexity of the solutions are considerably more challenging in the latter case.…

Late reverberation involves the superposition of many sound reflections resulting in a diffuse sound field. Since the spatially resolved perception of individual diffuse reflections is impossible, simplifications can potentially be made for…

Location information can be a valuable signal for audio segmentation tasks, especially as a complement to methods focusing on the content or qualities of the sources. Though audio source localization is typically performed using the…

Reverberation may severely degrade the quality of speech signals recorded using microphones in a room. For compact microphone arrays, the choice of the reference microphone for multi-microphone dereverberation typically does not have a…

This paper aims to achieve single-channel target speech extraction (TSE) in enclosures utilizing distance clues and room information. Recent works have verified the feasibility of distance clues for the TSE task, which can imply the sound…

This paper introduces a new method for multi-channel time domain speech separation in reverberant environments. A fully-convolutional neural network structure has been used to directly separate speech from multiple microphone recordings,…

This paper proposes a speech enhancement method which exploits the high potential of residual connections in a Wide Residual Network architecture. This is supported on single dimensional convolutions computed alongside the time domain,…

Background noise, interfering speech and room reverberation frequently distort target speech in real listening environments. In this study, we address joint speech separation and dereverberation, which aims to separate target speech from…

Despite the rapid advance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) technologies, accurate recognition of cocktail party speech characterised by the interference from overlapping speakers, background noise and room reverberation remains a…

Dereverberation is often performed directly on the reverberant audio signal, without knowledge of the acoustic environment. Reverberation time, T60, however, is an essential acoustic factor that reflects how reverberation may impact a…

In this paper, we propose a model to perform speech dereverberation by estimating its spectral magnitude from the reverberant counterpart. Our models are capable of extracting features that take into account both short and long-term…

This paper introduces a new training strategy to improve speech dereverberation systems using minimal acoustic information and reverberant (wet) speech. Most existing algorithms rely on paired dry/wet data, which is difficult to obtain, or…

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.…
