Query: Voice Activity Detection for Transient Noisy Environment Based on
  Diffusion Nets   We address voice activity detection in acoustic environments of transients
and stationary noises, which often occur in real life scenarios. We exploit
unique spatial patterns of speech and non-speech audio frames by independently
learning their underlying geometric structure. This process is done through a
deep encoder-decoder based neural network architecture. This structure involves
an encoder that maps spectral features with temporal information to their
low-dimensional representations, which are generated by applying the diffusion
maps method. The encoder feeds a decoder that maps the embedded data back into
the high-dimensional space. A deep neural network, which is trained to separate
speech from non-speech frames, is obtained by concatenating the decoder to the
encoder, resembling the known Diffusion nets architecture. Experimental results
show enhanced performance compared to competing voice activity detection
methods. The improvement is achieved in both accuracy, robustness and
generalization ability. Our model performs in a real-time manner and can be
integrated into audio-based communication systems. We also present a batch
algorithm which obtains an even higher accuracy for off-line applications.
