Accent normalization (AN) systems often struggle with unnatural outputs and undesired content distortion, stemming from both suboptimal training data and rigid duration modeling. In this paper, we propose a "source-synthesis" methodology for training data construction. By generating source L2 speech…
Target speaker extraction aims to isolate a specific speaker’s voice from a composite of multiple sound sources, guided by an enrollment utterance or called anchor. Current methods predominantly derive speaker embeddings from the anchor and integrate them into the separation network to separate the…
This paper introduces the SWANT team’s entry to the ICASSP 2023 AEC Challenge. We submit a system that cascades a linear filter with a neural post-filter. Particularly, we adopt sub-band processing to handle full-band signals and shape the network with multi-task learning, where dual signal voice ac…
Most neural network speech enhancement models ignore speech production mathematical models by directly mapping Fourier transform spectrums or waveforms. In this work, we propose a neural source filter network for speech enhancement. Specifically, we use homomorphic signal processing and cepstral ana…
This paper introduces the Unbeatable Team’s submission to the ICASSP 2023 Deep Noise Suppression (DNS) Challenge. We expand our previous work, TEA-PSE, to its upgraded version – TEA-PSE 3.0. Specifically, TEA-PSE 3.0 incorporates a residual LSTM after squeezed temporal convolution network (S-TCN) to…
This paper describes Tencent Ethereal Audio Lab – Northwestern Polytechnical University personalized speech enhancement (TEA-PSE) system submitted to track 2 of the ICASSP 2022 Deep Noise Suppression (DNS) challenge. Our system specifically combines the dual-stage network which is a superior real-ti…
