LSTM based AE-DNN constraint for better late reverb suppression in multi-channel LP formulation
share
Prediction of late reverberation component using multi-channel linear prediction (MCLP) in short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain is an effective means to enhance reverberant speech. Traditionally, a speech power spectral density (PSD) weighted prediction error (WPE) minimization approach is used to estimate the prediction filters. The method is sensitive to the estimate of the desired signal PSD. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network (DNN) based non-linear estimate for the desired signal PSD. An auto encoder trained on clean speech STFT coefficients is used as the desired signal prior. We explore two different architectures based on (i) fully-connected (FC) feed-forward, and (ii) recurrent long short-term memory (LSTM) layers. Experiments using real room impulse responses show that the LSTM-DNN based PSD estimate performs better than the traditional methods for late reverb suppression.
