Non-parallel training is a difficult but essential task for DNN-based speech enhancement methods, for the lack of adequate noisy and paired clean speech corpus in many real scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive attention-in-attention CycleGAN (AIA-CycleGAN) for non-parallel speech enhancement. In previous CycleGAN-based non-parallel speech enhancement methods, the limited mapping ability of the generator may cause performance degradation and insufficient feature learning. To alleviate this degradation, we propose an integration of adaptive time-frequency attention (ATFA) and adaptive hierarchical attention (AHA) to form an attention-in-attention (AIA) module for more flexible feature learning during the mapping procedure. More specifically, ATFA can capture the long-range temporal-spectral contextual information for more effective feature representations, while AHA can flexibly aggregate different AFTAs intermediate output feature maps by adaptive attention weights depending on the global context. Numerous experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves consistently more superior performance over previous GAN-based and CycleGAN-based methods in non-parallel training. Moreover, experiments in parallel training verify that the proposed AIA-CycleGAN also outperforms most advanced GAN-based and Non-GAN based speech enhancement approaches, especially in maintaining speech integrity and reducing speech distortion.

The generative adversarial networks (GANs) have facilitated the development of speech enhancement recently. Nevertheless, the performance advantage is still limited when compared with state-of-the-art models. In this paper, we propose a powerful Dyna
mic Attention Recursive GAN called DARGAN for noise reduction in the time-frequency domain. Different from previous works, we have several innovations. First, recursive learning, an iterative training protocol, is used in the generator, which consists of multiple steps. By reusing the network in each step, the noise components are progressively reduced in a step-wise manner. Second, the dynamic attention mechanism is deployed, which helps to re-adjust the feature distribution in the noise reduction module. Third, we exploit the deep Griffin-Lim algorithm as the module for phase postprocessing, which facilitates further improvement in speech quality. Experimental results on Voice Bank corpus show that the proposed GAN achieves state-of-the-art performance than previous GAN- and non-GAN-based models
This paper proposes an noise type classification aided attention-based neural network approach for monaural speech enhancement. The network is constructed based on a previous work by introducing a noise classification subnetwork into the structure an
d taking the classification embedding into the attention mechanism for guiding the network to make better feature extraction. Specifically, to make the network an end-to-end way, an audio encoder and decoder constructed by temporal convolution is used to make transformation between waveform and spectrogram. Additionally, our model is composed of two long short term memory (LSTM) based encoders, two attention mechanism, a noise classifier and a speech mask generator. Experiments show that, compared with OM-LSA and the previous work, the proposed noise classification aided attention-based approach can achieve better performance in terms of speech quality (PESQ). More promisingly, our approach has better generalization ability to unseen noise conditions.
A person tends to generate dynamic attention towards speech under complicated environments. Based on this phenomenon, we propose a framework combining dynamic attention and recursive learning together for monaural speech enhancement. Apart from a maj
or noise reduction network, we design a separated sub-network, which adaptively generates the attention distribution to control the information flow throughout the major network. To effectively decrease the number of trainable parameters, recursive learning is introduced, which means that the network is reused for multiple stages, where the intermediate output in each stage is correlated with a memory mechanism. As a result, a more flexible and better estimation can be obtained. We conduct experiments on TIMIT corpus. Experimental results show that the proposed architecture obtains consistently better performance than recent state-of-the-art models in terms of both PESQ and STOI scores.
End-to-end models are favored in automatic speech recognition (ASR) because of their simplified system structure and superior performance. Among these models, Transformer and Conformer have achieved state-of-the-art recognition accuracy in which self
-attention plays a vital role in capturing important global information. However, the time and memory complexity of self-attention increases squarely with the length of the sentence. In this paper, a prob-sparse self-attention mechanism is introduced into Conformer to sparse the computing process of self-attention in order to accelerate inference speed and reduce space consumption. Specifically, we adopt a Kullback-Leibler divergence based sparsity measurement for each query to decide whether we compute the attention function on this query. By using the prob-sparse attention mechanism, we achieve impressively 8% to 45% inference speed-up and 15% to 45% memory usage reduction of the self-attention module of Conformer Transducer while maintaining the same level of error rate.
Existing generative adversarial networks (GANs) for speech enhancement solely rely on the convolution operation, which may obscure temporal dependencies across the sequence input. To remedy this issue, we propose a self-attention layer adapted from n
on-local attention, coupled with the convolutional and deconvolutional layers of a speech enhancement GAN (SEGAN) using raw signal input. Further, we empirically study the effect of placing the self-attention layer at the (de)convolutional layers with varying layer indices as well as at all of them when memory allows. Our experiments show that introducing self-attention to SEGAN leads to consistent improvement across the objective evaluation metrics of enhancement performance. Furthermore, applying at different (de)convolutional layers does not significantly alter performance, suggesting that it can be conveniently applied at the highest-level (de)convolutional layer with the smallest memory overhead.
