Abstract: In this paper, we evaluate the performance of several objective measures in terms of predicting the quality of noisy speech enhanced by noise suppression algorithms. The objective measures considered a wide range of distortions introduced by four types of real-world noise at two signal-to-noise ratio levels by four classes of speech enhancement algorithms: spectral subtractive, subspace, statistical-model based, and Wiener algorithms. The subjective quality ratings were obtained using the ITU-T P.835 methodology designed to evaluate the quality of enhanced speech along three dimensions: signal distortion, noise distortion, and overall quality. This paper reports on the evaluation of correlations of several objective measures with these three subjective rating scales. Several new composite objective measures are also proposed by combining the individual objective measures using nonparametric and parametric regression analysis techniques.

Improved noise minimum statistics estimation algorithm for using in a speech-passing noise-rejecting headset
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of the well-known spectral subtraction is used for noise cancellation in a speech-passing angle grinder noise-canceling headset, which is adapted very quickly to the nonstationary noise environment while inflecting minimum musical noise and speech distortion on the processed signal.
Neural network-based non-intrusive speech quality assessment using attention pooling function
TL;DR: In this article, a neural network-based assessment method using attention pooling function was proposed to improve the performance of non-intrusive speech quality assessment, which achieved state-of-the-art performance.
Deep recurrent neural networks based binaural speech segregation for the selection of closest target of interest
R. Venkatesan,A. Balaji Ganesh +1 more
TL;DR: An auditory attention model that consists of binaural source segregation and also full localization of a target speech signal in a multi-talker environment is presented and is found to be more suitable than monaural speech segregation especially when the desired target and interfering sources are located at different positions.

An efficient wavelet-based adaptive filtering algorithm for automatic blind speech enhancement
TL;DR: The obtained results have confirmed the best performance of the proposed WBBSS algorithm in a lot of situations when blind noisy observations are available and it shows better performances in terms of convergence speed and steady state in comparison with the classical BBSS one.

Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines
TL;DR: In this article, a new method is presented for flexible regression modeling of high dimensional data, which takes the form of an expansion in product spline basis functions, where the number of basis functions as well as the parameters associated with each one (product degree and knot locations) are automatically determined by the data.
