A lightweight Deep Neural Network developed by Nokia Technologies and Nokia Bell Labs enables causal, low-latency full-band speech denoising optimized for mobile devices, achieving an SI-SDR of 22.34 dB with a real-time factor below 0.02 and utilizing 100 times fewer Multiply-Accumulate Operations than previous methods.

Key insights

  • Achieving superior signal reconstruction quality (SI-SDR) in full-band speech denoising is possible even with strict causality and ultra-low computational resources through careful architecture design.
  • Explicitly modeling both short and long temporal patterns within a lightweight, causal framework significantly enhances denoising performance without compromising real-time constraints.
  • Learned dimensionality reduction mappings at the input and output stages are critical for handling the high-frequency information of full-band audio efficiently within a resource-constrained neural network.
