Reverberation is ubiquitous in everyday listening environments, from meeting rooms to concert halls and record-ing studios. While reverberation is usually described by the reverberation time, getting further insight concerning the characteristics of a room requires to conduct acoustic measurements and calculate each reverberation param-eter manually. In this study, we propose ReverbNet, an end-to-end deep learning-based system to non-intrusively estimate multiple reverberation parameters from a single speech utterance. The proposed approach is evaluated using simulated room reverberation by two popular effect processors. We show that the proposed approach can jointly estimate multiple reverberation parameters from speech signals and can generalise to unseen speakers and diverse simulated environments. The results also indicate that the use of multiple branches disentangles the embedding space from misalignments between input features and subtasks.
