Publication number: 20260321250Abstract: A system is programmed to build a machine learning model that comprises a series of masking blocks. Each masking block receives a certain feature vector of an audio segment. Each masking block comprises a first component that generates a first mask for extracting clean speech and a second component that generates a second mask for extracting residual speech masked by the first mask. Each masking block also generates a specific feature vector based on the first mask and the second mask, which becomes the certain feature vector for the next masking block. The second component, which may comprise a gated recurrent unit layer, is computationally less complex than the first component, which may comprise multiple convolutional layers. Furthermore, the system is programmed to receive an input feature vector of an input audio segment and execute the machine learning model to obtain an output feature vector of an output audio segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2023Publication date: October 15, 2026Applicant: DOLBY LABORATORIES LICENSING CORPORATIONInventors: Jia Dai, Kai Li, Xiaoyu Liu
