Content
We live in a noisy world! In all applications that are related to speech from sound recording, hands-free communication, teleconferencing, hearing aids, cochlear implants, to human- machine interfaces, a speech signal of interest captured by one or more microphones is contaminated by noise and reverberation. Depending on the level of noise and reverberation, the quality and intelligibility of the speech can be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is highly desirable, and sometimes even indispensable, to "clean up" the noisy signals using signal processing techniques before transmission or reproduction.
In this course well known and state-of-the-art methods for noise reduction and dereverberation, with one or multiple microphones, are discussed.
The goal of this course is to provide a strong foundation for researchers, engineers, and graduate students who are interested in the problem of signal and speech enhancement.
