Abstract

The invention discloses a speech enhancement method and system. The method comprises: the constructed speech enhancement network model includes two parallel modules: the predictive adaptive weight module judges the signal-to-noise ratio according to input features, thereby adjusting the proportion of speech distortion and residual noise through weights; Ratio; the predicted time-frequency mask module estimates the time-frequency mask used to suppress noise according to the input features. By training the network, the proportion of speech distortion and residual noise in the enhanced speech can be adaptively adjusted according to the signal-to-noise ratio, and the trained network model can be used for the actual noise reduction task to obtain an enhanced speech signal. The invention uses a neural network to adaptively adjust and enhance speech distortion and residual noise in speech to obtain better speech enhancement effects, and can train different adaptive weight ranges according to different task requirements to obtain a speech enhancement algorithm more suitable for related tasks.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of speech enhancement, in particular to a speech enhancement method and system. Background technique [0002] Voice signal is one of the most convenient and fast ways for human communication and information transmission. Background noise is everywhere, and human ears and microphones actually receive speech signals interfered by noise. Noise can seriously affect human speech perception and the performance of speech products (eg hearing aids, automatic speech recognition systems, voice communications). Speech enhancement is a technique that removes or suppresses noise from noisy speech and is widely used in front-end processing for various speech-related tasks. In actual processing, speech enhancement algorithms will inevitably introduce speech distortion and residual noise. Although deep learning has achieved very significant results in speech enhancement, most deep learning-based methods only consider the...
