Abstract

A method includes receiving, as input, reference audio data representing a reference audio signal captured by an audio input device. The method also includes receiving, as input, from a beamformer, spatially-filtered audio data representing an output of the beamformer, the beamformer configured to spatially filter, based on additional audio data captured by one or more additional audio input devices, the reference audio data to attenuate one or more interfering signals in the spatially-filtered audio data. The method processes, using a trained guided speech-enhancement network, the reference audio data and the spatially-filtered audio data to generate, as output, enhanced audio data, the guided speech-enhancement network processing the reference audio data and the spatially-filtered audio data to further attenuate, in the enhanced audio data, the one or more interfering signals attenuated by the beamformer.
