    Abstract: Methods, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for enhancing the processing of audio waveforms for speech recognition using various neural network processing techniques. In one aspect, a method includes: receiving multiple channels of audio data corresponding to an utterance; convolving each of multiple filters, in a time domain, with each of the multiple channels of audio waveform data to generate convolution outputs, wherein the multiple filters have parameters that have been learned during a training process that jointly trains the multiple filters and trains a deep neural network as an acoustic model; combining, for each of the multiple filters, the convolution outputs for the filter for the multiple channels of audio waveform data; inputting the combined convolution outputs to the deep neural network trained jointly with the multiple filters; and providing a transcription for the utterance that is determined.

    Abstract: This specification describes computer-implemented methods and systems. One method includes receiving, by a neural network of a speech recognition system, first data representing a first raw audio signal and second data representing a second raw audio signal. The first raw audio signal and the second raw audio signal describe audio occurring at a same period of time. The method further includes generating, by a spatial filtering layer of the neural network, a spatial filtered output using the first data and the second data, and generating, by a spectral filtering layer of the neural network, a spectral filtered output using the spatial filtered output. Generating the spectral filtered output comprises processing frequency-domain data representing the spatial filtered output. The method still further includes processing, by one or more additional layers of the neural network, the spectral filtered output to predict sub-word units encoded in both the first raw audio signal and the second raw audio signal.

    Abstract: A system for estimating the location of a stationary or moving sound source includes multiple microphones, which need not be physically aligned in a linear array or a regular geometric pattern in a given environment, an auralizer that generates auralized multi-channel signals based at least on array-related transfer functions and room impulse responses of the microphones as well as signal labels corresponding to the auralized multi-channel signals, a feature extractor that extracts features from the auralized multi-channel signals for efficient processing, and a neural network that can be trained to estimate the location of the sound source based at least on the features extracted from the auralized multi-channel signals and the corresponding signal labels.
