Speaker-identification-assisted uplink speech processing systems and methods

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for performing speaker-identification-assisted speech processing in an uplink path of a communication device. In accordance with certain embodiments, a communication device includes speaker identification (SID) logic that is configured to identify the identity of a near-end speaker. Knowledge of the identity of the near-end speaker is then used to improve the performance of one or more uplink speech processing algorithms implemented on the communication device.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by one or more speech signal processing stages in an uplink path of a communication device, speaker identification information that identifies a target speaker; and processing, by each of the one of the one or more speech signal processing stages, a respective version of a speech signal in a manner that takes into account the identity of the target speaker, wherein the one or more speech signal processing stages are at least partially implemented by one or more processors, and wherein the one or more speech signal processing stages include at least a sequential combination of three or more of: an acoustic echo cancellation stage, a multi-microphone noise reduction stage, a residual echo suppression stage, a single channel dereverberation stage, a wind noise reduction stage, and an automatic speech recognition stage.
