Abstract
A system includes a memory having instructions therein and at least one processor in communication with the memory. The at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to communicate, into a user device, a deep neural network comprising a predictive audio spectral mask. The at least one processor is also configured to execute the instructions to: generate data corresponding to ambient sound via a multi-microphone device; separate amplitude data and/or phase data from the data via the deep neural network comprising the predictive audio spectral mask; and determine, via the user device and based on the amplitude data and/or phase data, a location of origin of target speech relative to the user device. The at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to display, via the user device, the location of origin of the target speech relative to the user device.
