In this letter we propose a novel approach for two-microphone enhancement of speech corrupted by reverberation. Our approach steers computational resources to filter coefficients having the largest impact on the error surface and therefore only updates a subset of coefficients in every iteration. Experimental results carried out in a realistically reverberant setup indicate that the performance of the proposed algorithm is comparable to the performance of its full-update counterpart.

A multichannel speech enhancement system usually consists of spatial filters such as adaptive beamformers followed by postfilters, which suppress remaining noise. Accurate estimation of the power spectral density (PSD) of the residual noise is crucial for successful noise reduction in the postfilters. In this paper, we propose a postfilter utilizing proposed speech presence probability (SPP) and noise PSD estimators, which are based on both the coherence and the statistical models.

This study discusses acoustic dissipation, which contributes to inaccuracies in impedance tube measurements. To improve the accuracy of these measurements, this paper introduces a transfer function model that integrates diverse dissipation prediction models. Bayesian inference is used to estimate the important parameters included in these models, describing dissipation originating from various mechanisms, sound speed, and microphone positions.

Listening in an acoustically cluttered scene remains a difficult task for both machines and hearing-impaired listeners. Normal-hearing listeners accomplish this task with relative ease by segregating the scene into its constituent sound sources, then selecting and attending to a target source. An assistive listening device that mimics the biological mechanisms underlying this behavior may provide an effective solution for those with difficulty listening in acoustically cluttered environments (e.

This is due to the calculation of the demixing matrix for the entire signal or due to the frequent update of the demixing matrix at every time frame index, making them impractical to use in many real-time applications. In this paper, a robust, neural network based two-microphone sound source localization method is used as a criterion to enhance the efficiency of the Independent Vector Analysis (IVA), a BSS method.

This work presents a two-microphone speech enhancement (SE) framework based on basic recurrent neural network (RNN) cell. The proposed method operates in real-time, improving the speech quality and intelligibility in noisy environments. The RNN model trained using a simple feature set-real and imaginary parts of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) are computationally efficient with a minimal input-output processing delay.
