• Abstract: Diffusion-based generative models have recently gained attention in speech enhancement (SE), providing an alternative to conventional supervised methods. These models transform clean speech training samples into Gaussian noise centered at noisy speech, and subsequently learn a parameterized model to reverse this process, conditionally on noisy speech. Unlike supervised methods, generative-based SE approaches usually rely solely on an unsupervised loss, which may result in less efficient incorporation of conditioned noisy speech. To address this issue, we propose augmenting the original diffusion training objective with a mean squared error (MSE) loss, measuring the discrepancy between estimated enhanced speech and ground-truth clean speech at each reverse process iteration. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed methodology.

  This paper proposes a new unsupervised audiovisual speech enhancement (AVSE) approach. It combines a diffusion-based audio-visual speech generative model with a non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) noise model. Experimental results confirm that the proposed AVSE approach not only outperforms its audio-only counterpart but also generalizes better than a recent supervisedgenerative AVSE method.

• Unsupervised speech enhancement with diffusion-based generative models [0.0]
  We introduce an alternative approach that operates in an unsupervised manner, leveraging the generative power of diffusion models. We develop a posterior sampling methodology for speech enhancement by combining the learnt clean speech prior with a noise model for speech signal inference. We show promising results compared to a recent variational auto-encoder (VAE)-based unsupervised approach and a state-of-the-art diffusion-based supervised method.

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

  We extend the existing mixture invariant training criterion to exploit both unpaired clean speech and real noisy data. It is found that the unpaired clean speech is crucial to improve quality of separated speech from real noisy speech. The proposed method also performs remixing of processed and unprocessed signals to alleviate the processing artifacts.

  This study demonstrates, for the first time, that the synthesis-based approach can also perform well on this problem.

By utilizing the synthesis model with the input of discrete symbols, after the prediction of discrete symbol sequence, each target speech could be re-synthesized.
