But in its original formulation, WPE requires multiple iterations over a sufficiently long utterance, rendering it unsuitable for online low-latency applications. Recently, two methods have been proposed to overcome this limitation. One utilizes a neural network to estimate the power spectral density (PSD) of the target signal and works in a block-online fashion. The other method relies on a rather simple PSD estimation which smoothes the observed PSD and utilizes a recursive formulation which enables it to work on a frame-by-frame basis. In this paper, we integrate a deep neural network (DNN) based estimator into the recursive frame-online formulation. We evaluate the performance of the recursive system with different PSD estimators in comparison to the block-online and offline variant on two distinct corpora. The REVERB challenge data, where the signal is mainly deteriorated by reverberation, and a database which combines WSJ and VoiceHome to also consider (directed) noise sources. The results show that although smoothing works surprisingly well, the more sophisticated DNN based estimator shows promising improvements and shortens the performance gap between online and offline processing.}}, author = {{Heymann, Jahn and Drude, Lukas and Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold and Kinoshita, Keisuke and Nakatani, Tomohiro}}, booktitle = {{IWAENC 2018, Tokio, Japan}}, title = {{{Frame-Online DNN-WPE Dereverberation}}}, year = {{2018}}, } @inproceedings{11837, abstract = {{We present a block-online multi-channel front end for automatic speech recognition in noisy and reverberated environments. It is an online version of our earlier proposed neural network supported acoustic beamformer, whose coefficients are calculated from noise and speech spatial covariance matrices which are estimated utilizing a neural mask estimator. However, the sparsity of speech in the STFT domain causes problems for the initial beamformer coefficients estimation in some frequency bins due to lack of speech observations. We propose two methods to mitigate this issue. The first is to lower the frequency resolution of the STFT, which comes with the additional advantage of a reduced time window, thus lowering the latency introduced by block processing. The second approach is to smooth beamforming coefficients along the frequency axis, thus exploiting their high interfrequency correlation. With both approaches the gap between offline and block-online beamformer performance, as measured by the word error rate achieved by a downstream speech recognizer, is significantly reduced. Experiments are carried out on two copora, representing noisy (CHiME-4) and noisy reverberant (voiceHome) environments.}}, author = {{Heitkaemper, Jens and Heymann, Jahn and Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold}}, booktitle = {{ITG 2018, Oldenburg, Germany}}, title = {{{Smoothing along Frequency in Online Neural Network Supported Acoustic Beamforming}}}, year = {{2018}}, } @misc{1186, author = {{Kemper, Arne}}, publisher = {{Universität Paderborn}}, title = {{{Pure Nash Equilibria in Robust Congestion Games via Potential Functions}}}, year = {{2018}}, } @misc{1187, author = {{Nachtigall, Marcel}}, publisher = {{Universität Paderborn}}, title = {{{Scenario-driven Strategy Analysis in a n-player Composition Game Model}}}, year = {{2018}}, } @inproceedings{11872, abstract = {{The weighted prediction error (WPE) algorithm has proven to be a very successful dereverberation method for the REVERB challenge. Likewise, neural network based mask estimation for beamforming demonstrated very good noise suppression in the CHiME 3 and CHiME 4 challenges. Recently, it has been shown that this estimator can also be trained to perform dereverberation and denoising jointly. However, up to now a comparison of a neural beamformer and WPE is still missing, so is an investigation into a combination of the two. Therefore, we here provide an extensive evaluation of both and consequently propose variants to integrate deep neural network based beamforming with WPE. For these integrated variants we identify a consistent word error rate (WER) reduction on two distinct databases. In particular, our study shows that deep learning based beamforming benefits from a model-based dereverberation technique (i.e. WPE) and vice versa. Our key findings are: (a) Neural beamforming yields the lower WERs in comparison to WPE the more channels and noise are present. (b) Integration of WPE and a neural beamformer consistently outperforms all stand-alone systems.}}, author = {{Drude, Lukas and Boeddeker, Christoph and Heymann, Jahn and Kinoshita, Keisuke and Delcroix, Marc and Nakatani, Tomohiro and Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold}}, booktitle = {{INTERSPEECH 2018, Hyderabad, India}}, title = {{{Integration neural network based beamforming and weighted prediction error dereverberation}}}, year = {{2018}}, } @inproceedings{11873, abstract = {{NARA-WPE is a Python software package providing implementations of the weighted prediction error (WPE) dereverberation algorithm.

Even for the subsequent task of semantic analysis, only weak supervision is employed, whereby the training utterance is accompanied by a semantic label only, rather than a literal transcription.
