Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide for a machine-learning architecture system that enhances the speech audio of a user-defined target speaker by suppressing interfering speakers, as well as background noise and reverberations. The machine-learning architecture includes a speech separation engine for separating the speech signal of a target speaker from a mixture of multiple speakers' speech, and a noise suppression engine for suppressing various types of noise in the input audio signal. The speaker-specific speech enhancement architecture performs speaker mixture separation and background noise suppression to enhance the perceptual quality of the speech audio. The output of the machine-learning architecture is an enhanced audio signal improving the voice quality of a target speaker on a single-channel audio input containing a mixture of speaker speech signals and various types of noise.
