Audio-visual speech enhancement aims to extract clean speech from a noisy environment by leveraging not only the audio itself but also the target speaker's lip movements. This approach has been shown to yield improvements over audio-only…

This work proposes the use of clean speech vocoder parameters as the target for a neural network performing speech enhancement. These parameters have been designed for text-to-speech synthesis so that they both produce high-quality…
