Abstract

A growing number of studies in the field of speech processing employ feature losses to train deep learning systems. While the application of this framework typically yields beneficial results, the question of what's the optimal setup for extracting transferable speech features to compute losses remains underexplored. In this study, we extend our previous work on speechVGG, a deep feature extractor for training speech processing frameworks. The extractor is based on the classic VGG-16 convolutional neural network re-trained to identify words from the log magnitude STFT features. To estimate the influence of different hyperparameters on the extractor's performance, we applied several configurations of speechVGG to train a system for informed speech inpainting, the context-based recovery of missing parts from time-frequency masked speech segments. We show that changing the size of the dictionary and the size of the dataset used to pre-train the speechVGG notably modulates task performance of the main framework.
