Noise-Presence-Probability-Based Noise PSD Estimation by Using DNNs Chinaev, Aleksej Heymann, Jahn Drude, Lukas Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold A noise power spectral density (PSD) estimation is an indispensable component of speech spectral enhancement systems. In this paper we present a noise PSD tracking algorithm, which employs a noise presence probability estimate delivered by a deep neural network (DNN). The algorithm provides a causal noise PSD estimate and can thus be used in speech enhancement systems for communication purposes. An extensive performance comparison has been carried out with ten causal state-of-the-art noise tracking algorithms taken from the literature and categorized acc. to applied techniques. The experiments showed that the proposed DNN-based noise PSD tracker outperforms all competing methods with respect to all tested performance measures, which include the noise tracking performance and the performance of a speech enhancement system employing the noise tracking component. 2016 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject doc-type:conferenceObject text http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_5794 https://ris.uni-paderborn.de/record/11744 Chinaev A, Heymann J, Drude L, Haeb-Umbach R.
