Deep learning technology has been widely applied to speech enhancement. While testing the effectiveness of various network structures, researchers are also exploring the improvement of the loss function used in network training. Although the existing methods have considered the auditory characteristics of speech or the reasonable expression of signal-to-noise ratio, the correlation with the auditory evaluation score and the applicability of the calculation for gradient optimization still need to be improved. In this paper, a signal-to-noise ratio loss function based on auditory power compression is proposed. The experimental results show that the overall correlation between the proposed function and the indexes of objective speech intelligibility, which is better than other loss functions. For the same speech enhancement model, the training effect of this method is also better than other comparison methods.

Conventional deep neural network (DNN)-based speech enhancement (SE) approaches aim to minimize the mean square error (MSE) between enhanced speech and clean reference. The MSE-optimized model may not directly improve the performance of an automatic
speech recognition (ASR) system. If the target is to minimize the recognition error, the recognition results should be used to design the objective function for optimizing the SE model. However, the structure of an ASR system, which consists of multiple units, such as acoustic and language models, is usually complex and not differentiable. In this study, we proposed to adopt the reinforcement learning algorithm to optimize the SE model based on the recognition results. We evaluated the propsoed SE system on the Mandarin Chinese broadcast news corpus (MATBN). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively improve the ASR results with a notable 12.40% and 19.23% error rate reductions for signal to noise ratio at 0 dB and 5 dB conditions, respectively.
In this paper, we propose VoiceID loss, a novel loss function for training a speech enhancement model to improve the robustness of speaker verification. In contrast to the commonly used loss functions for speech enhancement such as the L2 loss, the V
oiceID loss is based on the feedback from a speaker verification model to generate a ratio mask. The generated ratio mask is multiplied pointwise with the original spectrogram to filter out unnecessary components for speaker verification. In the experiments, we observed that the enhancement network, after training with the VoiceID loss, is able to ignore a substantial amount of time-frequency bins, such as those dominated by noise, for verification. The resulting model consistently improves the speaker verification system on both clean and noisy conditions.
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.
Supervised learning for single-channel speech enhancement requires carefully labeled training examples where the noisy mixture is input into the network and the network is trained to produce an output close to the ideal target. To relax the condition
s on the training data, we consider the task of training speech enhancement networks in a self-supervised manner. We first use a limited training set of clean speech sounds and learn a latent representation by autoencoding on their magnitude spectrograms. We then autoencode on speech mixtures recorded in noisy environments and train the resulting autoencoder to share a latent representation with the clean examples. We show that using this training schema, we can now map noisy speech to its clean version using a network that is autonomously trainable without requiring labeled training examples or human intervention.
We propose to implement speech enhancement by the regeneration of clean speech from a salient representation extracted from the noisy signal. The network that extracts salient features is trained using a set of weight-sharing clones of the extractor
network. The clones receive mel-frequency spectra of different noi
