ICASSP 2022 Acoustic Echo Cancellation Challenge (2022-02-27T00:00:00.000000Z)

TL;DR

This work enhances the ICASSP 2022 Acoustic Echo Cancellation Challenge by including mobile scenarios, adding speech recognition word accuracy rate as a metric, and making the audio 48 kHz.

Abstract

The ICASSP 2022 Acoustic Echo Cancellation Challenge is intended to stimulate research in acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), which is an important area of speech enhancement and still a top issue in audio communication. This is the third AEC challenge and it is enhanced by including mobile scenarios, adding speech recognition word accuracy rate as a metric, and making the audio 48 kHz. We open source two large datasets to train AEC models under both single talk and double talk scenarios. These datasets consist of recordings from more than 10,000 real audio devices and human speakers in real environments, as well as a synthetic dataset. We open source an online subjective test framework and provide an online objective metric service for researchers to quickly test their results. The winners of this challenge were selected based on the average Mean Opinion Score (MOS) achieved across all scenarios and the word accuracy rate.
