DNN-Based Source Enhancement to Increase Objective Sound Quality Assessment Score [PDF]
We propose a training method for deep neural network (DNN)-based source enhancement to increase objective sound quality assessment (OSQA) scores such as the perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ). In many conventional studies, DNNs have been used
