The ICASSP 2023 Acoustic Echo Cancellation Challenge intends to stimulate research in acoustic echo cancellation, a crucial area of speech enhancement. The challenge has been enhanced by adding a track for personalized acoustic echo cancellation, reducing latency, and including a full-band version of AECMOS. The challenge winners were selected based on the average mean opinion score and word accuracy rate. The article discusses the need for high-quality teleconferencing systems, the problems with current models, and the potential of deep learning techniques.
