Dr. Dolittle Project: A Framework for Classification and Understanding of Animal Vocalizations
This paper presents a minimum mean-square error spectral phase estimator for speech enhancement in the distributed multiple microphone scenario. The estimator uses Gaussian models for both the speech and noise priors under the assumption of a diffuse incoherent noise field representing ambient noise in a widely dispersed microphone configuration. Experiments demonstrate significant benefits of using the optimal multichannel phase estimator as compared to the noisy phase of a reference channel.

Auditory Coding Based Speech Enhancement, Yao Ren, Michael T. Johnson
Dr. Dolittle Project: A Framework for Classification and Understanding of Animal Vocalizations
This paper demonstrates a speech enhancement system based on an efficient auditory coding approach, coding of time-relative structure using spikes. The spike coding method can more compactly represent the non-stationary characteristics of speech signals than the Fourier transform or wavelet transform. Enhancement is accomplished through the use of MMSE thresholding on the spike code. Experimental results show that compared with the spectral domain logSTSA filter, both the subjective spectrogram evaluation and objective SSNR improvement for the proposed approach is better in suppressing noise in high noise situations, with fewer musical artifacts.P
