Abstract

Most of the deep learning based speech enhancement (SE) methods rely on estimating the magnitude spectrum of the clean speech signal from the observed noisy speech signal, either by magnitude spectral masking or regression. These methods reuse the noisy phase while synthesizing the time-domain waveform from the estimated magnitude spectrum. However, there have been recent works highlighting the importance of phase in SE. There was an attempt to estimate the complex ratio mask taking phase into account using complex-valued feed-forward neural network (FFNN). But FFNNs cannot capture the sequential information essential for phase estimation. In this work, we propose a realisation of complex-valued long short-term memory (RCLSTM) network to estimate the complex ratio mask (CRM) using sequential information along time. The proposed RCLSTM is designed to process the complex-valued sequences using complex arithmetic, and hence it preserves the dependencies between the real and imaginary part
