Time-Frequency Masking in the Complex Domain for Speech Dereverberation and Denoising
TLDR
This paper performs dereverberation and denoising using supervised learning with a deep neural network and defines the complex ideal ratio mask so that direct speech results after the mask is applied to reverberant and noisy speech.Abstract:
In real-world situations, speech is masked by both background noise and reverberation, which negatively affect perceptual quality and intelligibility. In this paper, we address monaural speech separation in reverberant and noisy environments. We perform dereverberation and denoising using supervised learning with a deep neural network. Specifically, we enhance the magnitude and phase by performing separation with an estimate of the complex ideal ratio mask. We define the complex ideal ratio mask so that direct speech results after the mask is applied to reverberant and noisy speech. Our approach is evaluated using simulated and real room impulse responses, and with background noises. The proposed approach improves objective speech quality and intelligibility significantly. Evaluations and comparisons show that it outperforms related methods in many reverberant and noisy environments.read more

Adaptive Subgradient Methods for Online Learning and Stochastic Optimization.
TL;DR: Adaptive subgradient methods as discussed by the authors dynamically incorporate knowledge of the geometry of the data observed in earlier iterations to perform more informative gradient-based learning, which allows us to find needles in haystacks in the form of very predictive but rarely seen features.
