Real-world audio recordings are often degraded by factors such as noise, reverberation, and equalization distortion. This paper introduces HiFi-GAN, a deep learning method to transform recorded speech to sound as though it had been recorded in a studio. We use an end-to-end feed-forward WaveNet architecture, trained with multi-scale adversarial discriminators in both the time domain and the time-frequency domain. It relies on the deep feature matching losses of the discriminators to improve the perceptual quality of enhanced speech. The proposed model generalizes well to new speakers, new speech content, and new environments. It significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baseline methods in both objective and subjective experiments.

Speech-related applications deliver inferior performance in complex noise environments. Therefore, this study primarily addresses this problem by introducing speech-enhancement (SE) systems based on deep neural networks (DNNs) applied to a distribute
d microphone architecture, and then investigates the effectiveness of three different DNN-model structures. The first system constructs a DNN model for each microphone to enhance the recorded noisy speech signal, and the second system combines all the noisy recordings into a large feature structure that is then enhanced through a DNN model. As for the third system, a channel-dependent DNN is first used to enhance the corresponding noisy input, and all the channel-wise enhanced outputs are fed into a DNN fusion model to construct a nearly clean signal. All the three DNN SE systems are operated in the acoustic frequency domain of speech signals in a diffuse-noise field environment. Evaluation experiments were conducted on the Taiwan Mandarin Hearing in Noise Test (TMHINT) database, and the results indicate that all the three DNN-based SE systems provide the original noise-corrupted signals with improved speech quality and intelligibility, whereas the third system delivers the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement and optimal speech intelligibility.
The purpose of speech dereverberation is to remove quality-degrading effects of a time-invariant impulse response filter from the signal. In this report, we describe an approach to speech dereverberation that involves joint estimation of the dry spee
ch signal and of the room impulse response. We explore deep learning models that apply to each task separately, and how these can be combined in a joint model with shared parameters.
Generative adversarial networks have seen rapid development in recent years and have led to remarkable improvements in generative modelling of images. However, their application in the audio domain has received limited attention, and autoregressive m
odels, such as WaveNet, remain the state of the art in generative modelling of audio signals such as human speech. To address this paucity, we introduce GAN-TTS, a Generative Adversarial Network for Text-to-Speech. Our architecture is composed of a conditional feed-forward generator producing raw speech audio, and an ensemble of discriminators which operate on random windows of different sizes. The discriminators analyse the audio both in terms of general realism, as well as how well the audio corresponds to the utterance that should be pronounced. To measure the performance of GAN-TTS, we employ both subjective human evaluation (MOS - Mean Opinion Score), as well as novel quantitative metrics (Frechet DeepSpeech Distance and Kernel DeepSpeech Distance), which we find to be well correlated with MOS. We show that GAN-TTS is capable of generating high-fidelity speech with naturalness comparable to the state-of-the-art models, and unlike autoregressive models, it is highly parallelisable thanks to an efficient feed-forward generator.

Multi-channel deep clustering (MDC) has acquired a good performance for speech separation. However, MDC only applies the spatial features as the additional information. So it is difficult to learn mutual relationship between spatial and spectral feat
ures. Besides, the training objective of MDC is defined at embedding vectors, rather than real separated sources, which may damage the separation performance. In this work, we propose a deep attention fusion method to dynamically control the weights of the spectral and spatial features and combine them deeply. In addition, to solve the training objective problem of MDC, the real separated sources are used as the training objectives. Specifically, we apply the deep clustering network to extract deep embedding features. Instead of using the unsupervised K-means clustering to estimate binary masks, another supervised network is utilized to learn soft masks from these deep embedding features. Our experiments are conducted on a spatialized reverberant version of WSJ0-2mix dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms MDC baseline and even better than the oracle ideal binary mask (IBM).
In this work, we tackle a denoising and dereverberation problem with a single-stage framework. Although denoising and dereverberation may be considered two separate challenging tasks, and thus, two modules are typically required for each task, we sho
w that a single deep network can be shared to solve the two problems. To this end, we propose a new masking method called phase-aware beta-sigmoid mask (PHM), which reuses the estimated magnitude values to estimate the clean phase by respecting the triangle inequality in the complex domain between three signal components such as mixture, source and the rest. Two PHMs are used to deal with direct and reverberant source, which allows controlling the proportion of reverberation in the enhanced speech at inference time. In addition, to improve the speech enhancement performance, we propose a new time-domain loss function and show a reasonable performance gain compared to MSE loss in the complex domain. Finally, to achieve a real-time inference, an optimization strategy for U-Net is proposed which significantly reduces the computational overhead up to 88.9% compared to the naive version.
