In this paper, we present a joint training framework between the multi-channel beamformer and the acoustic model for noise robust automatic speech recognition (ASR). The complex ratio mask (CRM), demonstrated to be more effective than the ideal ratio mask (IRM), is proposed to estimate the covarianc…
A new family of block-sparse proportionate affine projection algorithms (BS-PAPA) is proposed to improve the performance for block-sparse systems. This is motivated by the recent block-sparse proportionate normalized least mean square (BS-PNLMS) algorithm. It is demonstrated that the affine projecti…
This paper proposes an improved variable step-size (VSS) scheme for zero-point attracting projection (ZAP) algorithm. The proposed VSS is proportional to the sparseness difference between filter coefficients and the true impulse response. Meanwhile, it works for both sparse and non-sparse system ide…
