Abstract
In accordance with implementations of the subject matter described herein, a solution for speech enhancement is proposed. In this solution, a target time-frequency representation at least indicating intensities of an input audio signal at different frequencies over time is obtained. The input audio signal comprises a speech component and a noise component. Frequency correlation information and time correlation information of the input audio signal is determined based on the target time-frequency representation. A target feature representation is generated based on the frequency correlation information, the time correlation information, and the target time-frequency representation. The target feature representation is for distinguishing the speech component and the noise component. An output audio signal is generated based on the target feature representation and the target time-frequency representation. The speech component is enhanced relative to the noise component in the output audio signal. In this way, the performance of speech enhancement can be improved.
