报告摘要：As the most widely-used spatial filtering approach for multi-channel signal separation, beamforming extracts the target signal arriving from a specific direction. We present an emerging approach based on multi-channel complex spectral mapping, which trains a deep neural network (DNN) to directly estimate the real and imaginary spectrograms of the target signal from those of the multi-channel noisy mixture. In this all-neural approach, the trained DNN itself becomes a nonlinear, time-varying spectrospatial filter. How does this conceptually simple approach perform relative to commonly-used beamforming techniques on different array configurations and in different acoustic environments? We examine this issue systematically on speech dereverberation, speech enhancement, and speaker separation tasks. Comprehensive evaluations show that multi-channel complex spectral mapping achieves speech separation performance comparable to or better than beamforming for different array geometries, and reduces to monaural complex spectral mapping in single-channel conditions, demonstrating the versatility of this new approach for multi-channel and single-channel speech separation. In addition, such an approach is computationally more efficient than popular mask-based beamforming. We conclude that this neural spectrospatial filter is capable of superseding traditional and mask-based beamforming.

报告摘要： 近年来，尽管大数据+深度学习在语音识别等任务上取得了显著突破，但是语音处理在远场、强自然环境噪声干扰和人造恶意攻击下仍然表现出了一定的脆弱性，限制了其在智慧城市等更大范围的应用。如何充分利用网络进行多设备安全互联是解决该问题的潜在方法之一。本报告将分享我们在该方向的一点探索，重点介绍自然噪声和远场环境下的分布式自组织阵列及智能语音应用技术、及声纹识别的对抗样本攻击与防御技术。
