Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of multichannel speech enhancement in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain. A long short-time memory (LSTM) network takes as input a sequence of STFT coefficients associated with a frequency bin of multichannel noisy-speech signals. The network's output is the corresponding sequence of single-channel cleaned speech. We propose several clean-speech network targets, namely, the magnitude ratio mask, the complex STFT coefficients and the (smoothed) spatial filter. A prominent feature of the proposed model is that the same LSTM architecture, with identical parameters, is trained across frequency bins. The proposed method is referred to as narrow-band deep filtering. This choice stays in contrast with traditional wide-band speech enhancement methods. The proposed deep filtering is able to discriminate between speech and noise by exploiting their different temporal and spatial characteristics: speech is non-stationary and spatially coherent whi
