This paper introduces a dual-signal transformation LSTM network (DTLN) for real-time speech enhancement as part of the Deep Noise Suppression Challenge (DNS-Challenge). This approach combines a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and a learned analysis and synthesis basis in a stacked-network approach with less than one million parameters. The model was trained on 500 h of noisy speech provided by the challenge organizers. The network is capable of real-time processing (one frame in, one frame out) and reaches competitive results. Combining these two types of signal transformations enables the DTLN to robustly extract information from magnitude spectra and incorporate phase information from the learned feature basis. The method shows state-of-the-art performance and outperforms the DNS-Challenge baseline by 0.24 points absolute in terms of the mean opinion score (MOS).

Syntology Ran 0 of 4 code samples harvested from 2 repositories linked to this paper; 4 have no recorded run.

By repository: official repository: 1 sample from 1 repository, 0 ran; community (archive-listed): 3 samples from 1 repository, 0 ran. The run record, sample by sample. “Ran” means executed on a synthesized input, not that the code is correct or reproduces the paper.

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Licence: 0 of the 4 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from 2 repositories linked to this paper, official or community; each sample names its own and says which. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
