Diffusion-based methods represented as stochastic differential equations on a continuous-time domain have recently proven successful as a non-adversarial generative model. Training such models relies on denoising score matching, which can…

Speech enhancement (SE) aims to improve the clarity, intelligibility, and quality of speech signals for various speech enabled applications. However, air-conducted (AC) speech is highly susceptible to ambient noise, particularly in low…

This paper proposes a novel lip-reading driven deep learning framework for speech enhancement. The proposed approach leverages the complementary strengths of both deep learning and analytical acoustic modelling (filtering based approach) as…

Many parametric statistical models are not properly normalised and only specified up to an intractable partition function, which renders parameter estimation difficult. Examples of unnormalised models are Gibbs distributions, Markov random…

Diffusion-based generative models (DBGMs) perturb data to a target noise distribution and reverse this process to generate samples. The choice of noising process, or inference diffusion process, affects both likelihoods and sample quality.…

Common target sound extraction (TSE) approaches primarily relied on discriminative approaches in order to separate the target sound while minimizing interference from the unwanted sources, with varying success in separating the target from…

Diffusion models have become fundamental tools for modeling data distributions in machine learning. Despite their success, these models face challenges when generating data with extreme brightness values, as evidenced by limitations…

In this paper, we propose to utilise diffusion models for data augmentation in speech emotion recognition (SER). In particular, we present an effective approach to utilise improved denoising diffusion probabilistic models (IDDPM) to…

We present DiffusionBERT, a new generative masked language model based on discrete diffusion models. Diffusion models and many pre-trained language models have a shared training objective, i.e., denoising, making it possible to combine the…

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…

Existing deep learning based speech enhancement (SE) methods either use blind end-to-end training or explicitly incorporate speaker embedding or phonetic information into the SE network to enhance speech quality. In this paper, we perceive…

In this study, we propose a modulation decoupling based single channel speech enhancement subspace framework, in which the spectrogram of noisy speech is decoupled as the product of a spectral envelop subspace and a spectral details…

Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models have shown extraordinary ability on various generative tasks. However, their slow inference speed renders them impractical in speech synthesis. This paper proposes a linear diffusion model (LinDiff)…

In this paper, we present a causal speech signal improvement system that is designed to handle different types of distortions. The method is based on a generative diffusion model which has been shown to work well in scenarios with missing…

It is promising to design a single model that can suppress various distortions and improve speech quality, i.e., universal speech enhancement (USE). Compared to supervised learning-based predictive methods, diffusion-based generative models…

Current generative models are able to generate high-quality artefacts but have been shown to struggle with compositional reasoning, which can be defined as the ability to generate complex structures from simpler elements. In this paper, we…

We propose DiffSpEx, a generative target speaker extraction method based on score-based generative modelling through stochastic differential equations. DiffSpEx deploys a continuous-time stochastic diffusion process in the complex…

In this study, we aim to explore the effect of pre-trained conditional generative speech models for the first time on dysarthric speech due to Parkinson's disease recorded in an ideal/non-noisy condition. Considering one category of…

Score-based generative models (SGMs) learn a family of noise-conditional score functions corresponding to the data density perturbed with increasingly large amounts of noise. These perturbed data densities are linked together by the…

Since the advent of Deep Learning (DL), Speech Enhancement (SE) models have performed well under a variety of noise conditions. However, such systems may still introduce sonic artefacts, sound unnatural, and restrict the ability for a user…
