To Dereverb Or Not to Dereverb? Perceptual Studies On Real-Time Dereverberation Targets
In real life, room effect, also known as room reverberation, and the present background noise degrade the quality of speech. Recently, deep learning-based speech enhancement approaches have shown a lot of promise and surpassed traditional denoising and dereverberation methods. It is also well established that these state-of-the-art denoising algorithms significantly improve the quality of speech as perceived by human listeners. But the role of dereverberation on subjective (perceived) speech quality, and whether the additional artifacts introduced by dereverberation cause more harm than good are still unclear. In this paper, we attempt to answer these questions by evaluating a state of the art speech enhancement system in a comprehensive subjective evaluation study for different choices of dereverberation targets.

Recycling an anechoic pre-trained speech separation deep neural network for binaural dereverberation of a single source
Reverberation results in reduced intelligibility for both normal and hearing-impaired listeners. This paper presents a novel psychoacoustic approach of dereverberation of a single speech source by recycling a pre-trained…
Speech SeparationA Composite T60 Regression and Classification Approach for Speech Dereverberation
Dereverberation is often performed directly on the reverberant audio signal, without knowledge of the acoustic environment. Reverberation time, T60, however, is an essential acoustic factor that reflects how reverberatio…

Most recent advances in audio dereverberation focus almost exclusively on speech, leaving percussive and drum signals largely unexplored despite their importance in music production. Percussive dereverberation poses dist…
D²Net: A Denoising and Dereverberation Network Based on Two-branch Encoder and Dual-path Transformer
The simultaneous denoising and dereverberation for single-channel mixture speech under the complicated acoustic environment is considered to be a challengeable task. In this paper, we propose a denoising and dereverberat…
