IEEE ICASSP 2021 Deep Noise Suppression (DNS) Challenge

This repository contains the datasets and scripts required for the DNS challenge. For more details about the challenge, please visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/dns-challenge/home. For more details on the testing framework, please visit P.808.

Repo details:

  • The datasets directory contains the clean speech, noise and room impulse responses for creating training data. It also contains the test set that participants can use during the development stages.
  • The NSNet2-baseline directory contains the inference scripts and the ONNX model for the baseline Speech Enhancement method.
  • noisyspeech_synthesizer_singleprocess.py - is used to synthesize noisy-clean speech pairs for training purposes.
  • noisyspeech_synthesizer.cfg - is the configuration file used to synthesize the data. Users are required to accurately specify different parameters and provide the right paths to the datasets required to synthesize noisy speech.
  • audiolib.py - contains modules required to synthesize datasets.
  • utils.py - contains some utility functions required to synthesize the data.
  • unit_tests_synthesizer.py - contains the unit tests to ensure sanity of the data.
  • requirements.txt - contains all the libraries required for synthesizing the data.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.0 and above
  • Soundfile (pip install pysoundfile), librosa

Usage:

  1. Install librosa
pip install librosa
  1. Install Git Large File Storage for faster download of the datasets.
git lfs install
git lfs track "*.wav"
git add .gitattributes
  1. Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/DNS-Challenge DNS-Challenge
  1. Edit noisyspeech_synthesizer.cfg to specify the required parameters described in the file and include the paths to clean speech, noise and impulse response related csv files. Also, specify the paths to the destination directories and store the logs.
  2. Create dataset
python noisyspeech_synthesizer_singleprocess.py
