- Abstract
- In this paper, we propose joint optimization of deep neural network (DNN)-supported dereverberation and beamforming for the convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN)-based sound event detection (SED) in multi-channel environments. First, the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) coefficients are calculated from multi-channel audio signals under the noisy and reverberant environments, which are then enhanced by the DNN-supported weighted prediction error (WPE) dereverberation with the estimated masks. Next, the STFT coefficients of the dereverberated multi-channel audio signals are conveyed to the DNN-supported minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer in which DNN-supported MVDR beamforming is carried out with the source and noise masks estimated by the DNN. As a result, the single-channel enhanced STFT coefficients are shown at the output and tossed to the CRNN-based SED system, and then, the three modules are jointly trained by the single loss function designed for SED. Furthermore, to ease the difficulty of training a deep learning model for SED caused by the imbalance in the amount of data for each class, the focal loss is used as a loss function. Experimental results show that joint training of DNN-supported dereverberation and beamforming with the SED model under the supervision of focal loss significantly improves the performance under the noisy and reverberant environments.
