• Authors: Xinquan Zhou, Yanhong Leng
• Abstract summary: We propose a real-time residual acoustic echo suppression (RAES) method using an efficient convolutional neural network. The training criterion is based on a novel loss function, which we call as the suppression loss, to balance the suppression of residual echo and the distortion of near-end signals.

• Abstract: Acoustic echo degrades the user experience in voice communication systems thus needs to be suppressed completely. We propose a real-time residual acoustic echo suppression (RAES) method using an efficient convolutional neural network. The double talk detector is used as an auxiliary task to improve the performance of RAES in the context of multi-task learning. The training criterion is based on a novel loss function, which we call as the suppression loss, to balance the suppression of residual echo and the distortion of near-end signals. The experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently suppress the residual echo under different circumstances.
