The Development of a Forward Masking Model Using Neural Networks and its Application to Speech Enhancement
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Forward masking models have been used successfully in speech enhancement and audio coding. Currently, simple forward masking models have been employed to predict the forward masking threshold. In this paper, an accurate approximation of forward masking threshold using neural networks is proposed. A performance comparison to the other existing maski
