Deep Learning cleans podcast episodes from 'ahem' sounds

Do you know why you can't hear the ugly ahem sounds on the podcast Data Science at Home? The ahem detector is a deep convolutional neural network trained on transformed audio signals to recognize ahem sounds. The network has been trained to detect such signals on the episodes of Data Science at Home, the podcast about data science at worldofpiggy.com/podcast But before proceeding, some concepts should be clarified. While the detector works for the aforementioned audio files, it can be generalized to any other audio input, provided enough data are available.
