Onssen: an open-source speech separation and enhancement library
share
Speech separation is an essential task for multi-talker speech recognition. Recently many deep learning approaches are proposed and have been constantly refreshing the state-of-the-art performances. The lack of algorithm implementations limits researchers to use the same dataset for comparison. Building a generic platform can benefit researchers by easily implementing novel separation algorithms and comparing them with the existing ones on customized datasets. We introduce "onssen": an open-source speech separation and enhancement library. onssen is a library mainly for deep learning separation and enhancement algorithms. It uses LibRosa and NumPy libraries for the feature extraction and PyTorch as the back-end for model training. onssen supports most of the Time-Frequency mask-based separation algorithms (e.g. deep clustering, chimera net, chimera++, and so on) and also supports customized datasets. In this paper, we describe the functionality of modules in onssen and show the algorithms implemented by onssen achieve the same performances as reported in the original papers.
