Deep Complex Convolution Recurrent

Deep Complex Convolution Recurrent Networks (DCCRNs) are a class of neural networks designed for speech enhancement tasks, aiming to improve speech quality and intelligibility in noisy environments while preserving spatial audio cues. Current research focuses on optimizing DCCRN architectures for efficiency, exploring knowledge distillation techniques to create smaller, faster models, and investigating the benefits of complex-valued versus real-valued network components. These advancements are significant because they improve the performance and practicality of speech enhancement technologies in applications such as hearing aids and voice assistants, particularly in challenging acoustic scenarios.
