Undesired acoustic feedback is a known issue in communication systems, such as speech in-car communication, public address systems, or hearing aids. Without additional precautions, there is a high risk that the adaptive filter - intended to…
This report focuses on algorithms that perform single-channel speech enhancement. The author of this report uses modulation-domain Kalman filtering algorithms for speech enhancement, i.e. noise suppression and dereverberation, in [1], [2],…
We introduce a synergistic approach to double-talk robust acoustic echo cancellation combining adaptive Kalman filtering with a deep neural network-based postfilter. The proposed algorithm overcomes the well-known limitations of Kalman…
In this paper, we address an important problem in high-quality audio communication systems. Acoustic echo cancellation with stereo signals is generally an under-determined problem because of the generally important correlation that exists…
In multi-microphone speech enhancement, reverberation as well as additive noise and/or interfering speech are commonly suppressed by deconvolution and spatial filtering, e.g., using multi-channel linear prediction (MCLP) on the one hand and…
We propose a novel feedback controller for a class of uncertain higher-order nonlinear systems, subject to delays in both state measurement and control input signals. Building on the prescribed performance control framework, a…
An important part of system modeling is determining parameter values, particularly for biomolecular systems, where direct measurements of individual parameters are typically hard. While Extended Kalman Filters have been used for this…
Echo path delay (or ref-delay) estimation is a big challenge in acoustic echo cancellation. Different devices may introduce various ref-delay in practice. Ref-delay inconsistency slows down the convergence of adaptive filters, and also…
This paper proposes a joint acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and speech dereverberation (DR) algorithm in the short-time Fourier transform domain. The reverberant microphone signals are described using an auto-regressive (AR) model. The AR…
In audio signal processing applications with a microphone and a loudspeaker within the same acoustic environment, the loudspeaker signals can feed back into the microphone, thereby creating a closed-loop system that potentially leads to…
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…
We examine the problem of time delay estimation, or temporal calibration, in the context of multisensor data fusion. Differences in processing intervals and other factors typically lead to a relative delay between measurement updates from…
We present a single-channel phase-sensitive speech enhancement algorithm that is based on modulation-domain Kalman filtering and on tracking the speech phase using circular statistics. With Kalman filtering, using that speech and noise are…
Speech enhancement techniques based on deep learning have brought significant improvement on speech quality and intelligibility. Nevertheless, a large gain in speech quality measured by objective metrics, such as perceptual evaluation of…

The Kalman filter has been adopted in acoustic echo cancellation due to its robustness to double-talk, fast convergence, and good steady-state performance. The performance of Kalman filter is closely related to the estimation accuracy of…
We describe a monaural speech enhancement algorithm based on modulation-domain Kalman filtering to blindly track the time-frequency log-magnitude spectra of speech and reverberation. We propose an adaptive algorithm that performs blind…
