Abstract
An estimate of clean speech vector, typically Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) given its noisy observation is provided. The method makes use of two Gaussian mixtures. The first one is trained on clean speech and the second is derived from the first one using some noise samples. The method gives an estimate of a clean speech feature vector as the conditional expectancy of clean speech given an observed noisy vector.
