DNS Challenge (Deep Noise Suppression Challenge)

Introduced by Chandan K. A. Reddy et al. in The INTERSPEECH 2020 Deep Noise Suppression Challenge: Datasets, Subjective Speech Quality and Testing Framework23 Jan 2020 archive 2025-07-28

The DNS Challenge at INTERSPEECH 2020 intended to promote collaborative research in single-channel Speech Enhancement aimed to maximize the perceptual quality and intelligibility of the enhanced speech. The challenge evaluated the speech quality using the online subjective evaluation framework ITU-T P.808. The challenge provides large datasets for training noise suppressors.

22 shown of 22 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 48. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
