@article{14c5d324b1c145a2a0d704783f5178dc, author = "Deepak Baby and Tuomas Virtanen and Jort Gemmeke and Hugo Van hamme", abstract = "Exemplar-based speech enhancement systems work by decomposing the noisy speech as a weighted sum of speech and noise exemplars stored in a dictionary and use the resulting speech and noise estimates to obtain a time-varying filter in the full-resolution frequency domain to enhance the noisy speech. To obtain the decomposition, exemplars sampled in lower dimensional spaces are preferred over the full-resolution frequency domain for their reduced computational complexity and the ability to better generalize to unseen cases. But the resulting filter may be sub-optimal as the mapping of the obtained speech and noise estimates to the full-resolution frequency domain yields a low-rank approximation. This paper proposes an efficient way to directly compute the full-resolution frequency estimates of speech and noise using coupled dictionaries: an input dictionary containing atoms from the desired exemplar space to obtain the decomposition and a coupled output dictionary containing exemplars from the full-resolution frequency domain. We also introduce modulation spectrogram features for the exemplar-based tasks using this approach. The proposed system was evaluated for various choices of input exemplars and yielded improved speech enhancement performances on the AURORA-2 and AURORA-4 databases. We further show that the proposed approach also results in improved word error rates (WERs) for the speech recognition tasks using HMM-GMM and deep-neural network (DNN) based systems.", doi = "10.1109/TASLP.2015.2450491", issn = "2329-9290", journal = "Ieee-Acm transactions on audio speech and language processing", keywords = "Exemplar-based;Modulation envelope;Noise robust automatic speech recognition;Non-negative sparse coding", month = "11", number = "11", pages = "1788--1799", publisher = "IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC", title = "{C}oupled dictionaries for exemplar-based speech enhancement and automatic speech recognition", volume = "23", year = "2015", }
