An Analysis of the Variance of Diffusion-based Speech Enhancement

no code implementations1 Feb 2024 Bunlong Lay, Timo Gerkmann

The speech enhancement performance varies depending on the choice of the stochastic differential equation that controls the evolution of the mean and the variance along the diffusion processes when adding environmental and Gaussian noise.

Single and Few-step Diffusion for Generative Speech Enhancement

1 code implementation18 Sep 2023 Bunlong Lay, Jean-Marie Lemercier, Julius Richter, Timo Gerkmann

While the performance of usual generative diffusion algorithms drops dramatically when lowering the number of function evaluations (NFEs) to obtain single-step diffusion, we show that our proposed method keeps a steady performance and therefore largely outperforms the diffusion baseline in this setting and also generalizes better than its predictive counterpart.

EMOCONV-DIFF: Diffusion-based Speech Emotion Conversion for Non-parallel and In-the-wild Data

no code implementations14 Sep 2023 Navin Raj Prabhu, Bunlong Lay, Simon Welker, Nale Lehmann-Willenbrock, Timo Gerkmann

Subsequently, at inference, a target emotion embedding is employed to convert the emotion of the input utterance to the given target emotion.

Speech Signal Improvement Using Causal Generative Diffusion Models

no code implementations15 Mar 2023 Julius Richter, Simon Welker, Jean-Marie Lemercier, Bunlong Lay, Tal Peer, Timo Gerkmann

In this paper, we present a causal speech signal improvement system that is designed to handle different types of distortions.
