The REVERB challenge is a benchmark task designed to evaluate reverberation-robust automatic speech recognition techniques under various conditions. A particular novelty of the REVERB challenge database is that it comprises both real reverberant speech recordings and simulated reverberant speech, both of which include tasks to evaluate techniques for 1-, 2-, and 8-microphone situations. In this chapter, we describe the problem of reverberation and characteristics of the REVERB challenge data, and finally briefly introduce some results and findings useful for reverberant speech processing in the current deep-neural-network era.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
