In this work we present a multi-modal, streaming enhancement network to improve speech recognition for voice assistants on earbuds. The proposed model is guided by a bone conducted signal (BCS) to separate the interfering sources from the target speaker signal. We train the model on a simulated spee…
Keyword spotting (KS) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) on smart speakers in a home environment with interfering signals from loudspeakers are challenging tasks to this day, despite improvements in acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) systems. In this work we propose to combine a single microphone…
In recent years time domain speech separation has excelled over frequency domain separation in single channel scenarios and noise-free environments. In this paper we dissect the gains of the time-domain audio separation network (TasNet) approach by gradually replacing components of an utterance-leve…
