How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Speech dereverberation and denoising using complex ratio masks (2017, background): “Reverberation is also debilitating for individuals with hearing impairments [3, 4].”
A New Method Based on Spectral Subtraction for Speech Dereverberation (2001, background): “In this paper, we focus on an important effect of reverberation on speech which is referred to as overlap-masking [31, 32]: the energy of previous phonemes is smeared over time, and overlaps following phonemes.”
