Late reverberation suppression using U-nets (2110.02144v1)

Published 5 Oct 2021 in eess.AS and cs.SD

Abstract: In real-world settings, speech signals are almost always affected by reverberation produced by the working environment; these corrupted signals need to be \emph{dereverberated} prior to performing, e.g., speech recognition, speech-to-text conversion, compression, or general audio enhancement. In this paper, we propose a supervised dereverberation technique using \emph{U-nets with skip connections}, which are fully-convolutional encoder-decoder networks with layers arranged in the form of an "U" and connections that "skip" some layers. Building on this architecture, we address speech dereverberation through the lens of Late Reverberation Suppression (LS). Via experiments on synthetic and real-world data with different noise levels and reverberation settings, we show that our proposed method termed "LS U-net" improves quality, intelligibility and other performance metrics compared to the original U-net method and it is on par with the state-of-the-art GAN-based approaches.
