Abstract

Per frame inputs for post filter echo suppression are determined. Captured audio data of a two-way communication that includes a far-end signal played via a speaker may be processed as different sub-bands of individual frames. A machine learning model may be applied that is trained to accept the different sub-bands of a frame and corresponding sub-bands of a corresponding frame of the far-end audio data as inputs to generate outputs that can be used as post-filter inputs for the frame. The post-filter inputs that are output from the machine learning model may include an attenuation parameter, near-end estimate and echo estimate. A post filter may be applied to the different sub-bands of the frame sing the post-filter inputs to remove echo data caused by the far-end audio data in the captured audio data.
