Utilizing an adaptive multichannel technique to mitigate reverberation present in received audio signals, prior to providing corresponding audio data to one or more additional component(s), such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) components. Implementations disclosed herein are “adaptive”, in that they utilize a filter, in the reverberation mitigation, that is online, causal and varies depending on characteristics of the input. Implementations disclosed herein are “multichannel”, in that a corresponding audio signal is received from each of multiple audio transducers (also referred to herein as “microphones”) of a client device, and the multiple audio signals (e.g., frequency domain representations thereof) are utilized in updating of the filter—and dereverberation occurs for audio data corresponding to each of the audio signals (e.g., frequency domain representations thereof) prior to the audio data being provided to ASR component(s) and/or other component(s).
