• Abstract: With recent advances of diffusion model, generative speech enhancement (SE) has attracted a surge of research interest due to its great potential for unseen testing noises. However, existing efforts mainly focus on inherent properties of clean speech, underexploiting the varying noise information in real world. In this paper, we propose a noise-aware speech enhancement (NASE) approach that extracts noise-specific information to guide the reverse process in diffusion model. Specifically, we design a noise classification (NC) model to produce acoustic embedding as a noise conditioner to guide the reverse denoising process. Meanwhile, a multi-task learning scheme is devised to jointly optimize SE and NC tasks to enhance the noise specificity of conditioner. NASE is shown to be a plug-and-play module that can be generalized to any diffusion SE models. Experiments on VB-DEMAND dataset show that NASE effectively improves multiple mainstream diffusion SE models, especially on unseen noises.

  We introduce a novel and general class of diffusion models taking correlated noise within and across images into account. Our framework allows introducing correlation across images within a single mini-batch to improve gradient flow. We perform both qualitative and quantitative evaluations on a variety of datasets using our method.

During training, our model learns to reverse the noising process by converting noisy latent queries to the groundtruth versions.

  This work builds on a previous work on unsupervised speech enhancement using a dynamical variational autoencoder (DVAE) as the clean speech model and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) as the noise model. We propose to replace the NMF noise model with a deep dynamical generative model (DDGM) depending either on the DVAE latent variables, or on the noisy observations, or on both.

  This study addresses the speech enhancement (SE) task within the causal inference paradigm by modeling the noise presence as an intervention. The proposed causal inference-based speech enhancement (CISE) separates clean and noisy frames in an intervened noisy speech using a noise detector and assigns both sets of frames to two mask-based enhancement modules (EMs) to perform noise-conditional SE.
