GPU code for Deep neural network (DNN) based speech enhancement

How to use?

1. make

2. use *.pl to call BPtrain

How to prepare the input and output files ?

0. Training clean speech data: standard TIMIT corpus training set (about 4 hours)

   Training noise data: 115 noise types data, you can download here: http://staff.ustc.edu.cn/~jundu/The%20team/yongxu/demo/115noises.html

   USTC-made 15 noise types: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1dER6UUt or https://drive.google.com/file/d/13CqTkrow_EPdl5x4BQeNHmIdawKRaUcA/view

   100 Ohio noise types: http://web.cse.ohio-state.edu/pnl/corpus/HuNonspeech/HuCorpus.html

   Test clean speech data: standard TIMIT corpus test set

   Test unseen noise type data: NoiseX-92 (15 types): http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/comp.speech/Section1/Data/noisex.html

1. use quicknet toolset to prepare Pfile as the input and the output files, Pfile is the big file of all training features.

quicknet tool set is here : http://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/Speech/qn.html how to get a Pfile example (Perl Script): https://github.com/yongxuUSTC/DNN-for-speech-enhancement/blob/master/how_to_get_pfile.txt

What are the functions in this code ?

1. ReLU or Sigmoid

2. Noise aware training

3. Dropout

How to do decoding or speech enhancement in the test phase ?

1. Please ref: DNN based speech enhancement tool is open now and can be downloaded at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5r5bvRpQ5DRR1lIV1hpZ0RLQ0E/view?usp=sharing

What kinds of noisy speech can the DNN-enh tool enhance ?

1. It can enhance any kinds of noisy speech, even the real-world noisy speech. one real-world noisy speech enh demo for the movie : http://staff.ustc.edu.cn/~jundu/The%20team/yongxu/demo/IS15.html

2. The model is trained only on TIMIT data, so it can get the best performance on the TIMIT test set.

3. The model can get the best performance on English dataset because TIMIT is US-English. But this tool still can be used to enhance the noisy speech in other languages, like Chinese.

4. You can use multi-language data to retrain this model to get a general DNN-enh tool.

What else can this code use for?

1. It is designed for any regression tasks, like speech enhancement, ideal binary/ratio mask (IBM/IRM) estimation, audio/music tagging, acoustic event detection, etc.
