      Winning algorithm (ASE) in the Hurricane Challenge 2.0 Interspeech 2020 Oct 2020 ASE (the Automatic Sound Engineer) was the highest scoring algorithm in the Hurricane Challenge 2.0, an international competition for intelligibility-enhancing algorithms. This edition of the Challenge featured realistic noise and reverberation, and was run in 3 languages. ASE performed best in 25/27 conditions, providing intelligibility gains of over 7 dB (up to +58% words understood on average).
