Robustness of Speech Separation Models for Similar-pitch Speakers
Bunlong Lay, Sebastian Zaczek, Kristina Tesch +1
Single-channel speech separation is a crucial task for enhancing speech recognition systems in multi-speaker environments. This paper investigates the robustness of state-of-the-ar…
EARS: An Anechoic Fullband Speech Dataset Benchmarked for Speech Enhancement and Dereverberation
Julius Richter, Yi-Chiao Wu, Steven Krenn +5
We release the EARS (Expressive Anechoic Recordings of Speech) dataset, a high-quality speech dataset comprising 107 speakers from diverse backgrounds, totaling in 100 hours of cle…
Speech Signal Improvement Using Causal Generative Diffusion Models
Julius Richter, Simon Welker, Jean-Marie Lemercier +3
In this paper, we present a causal speech signal improvement system that is designed to handle different types of distortions. The method is based on a generative diffusion model w…
Reducing the Prior Mismatch of Stochastic Differential Equations for Diffusion-based Speech Enhancement
Bunlong Lay, Simon Welker, Julius Richter +1
Recently, score-based generative models have been successfully employed for the task of speech enhancement. A stochastic differential equation is used to model the iterative forwar…
