Abstract
A method for performing echo cancellation includes: receiving a far-end signal from a far-end device at a near-end device; recording a microphone signal at the near-end device including: a near-end signal; and an echo signal corresponding to the far-end signal; extracting far-end features from the far-end signal; extracting microphone features from the microphone signal; computing estimated near-end features by supplying the microphone features and the far-end features to an acoustic echo cancellation module including: an echo estimator including a first stack of a recurrent neural network configured to compute estimated echo features based on the far-end features; and a near-end estimator including a second stack of the recurrent neural network configured to compute the estimated near-end features based on an output of the first stack and the microphone signal; computing an estimated near-end signal from the estimated near-end features; and transmitting the estimated near-end signal to the far-end device.
