TaylorAECNet: A Taylor Style Neural Network for Full-Band Echo Cancellation

Weiming Xu, Zhihao Guo

This paper describes aecX team's entry to the ICASSP 2023 acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) challenge. Our system consists of an adaptive filter and a proposed full-band Taylor-style acoustic echo cancellation neural network (TaylorAECNet) as a post-filter. Specifically, we leverage the recent advances in Taylor expansion based decoupling-style interpretable speech enhancement and explore its feasibility in the AEC task. Our TaylorAECNet based approach achieves an overall mean opinion score (MOS) of 4.241, a word accuracy (WAcc) ratio of 0.767, and ranks 5th in the non-personalized track (track 1).
