  • Publication number: 20250111857
    Abstract: Examples herein provide an approach to enhance an audio mixture of a teleconference application by switching between noise suppression modes using a single model. Specifically, a machine learning (ML) model may be configured to, in response to receiving an audio mixture representation as input, suppress either a background noise of the audio mixture or suppress all noise of the audio mixture except a user's voice. In some examples, the ML model may be trained on speech and background noise training data during a training phase. In addition, the ML model may be trained on a user's voice during an enrollment phase. In addition, during an inference phase, the ML model may enhance the audio mixture by suppressing a portion of the audio mixture.

  • Patent number: 12167223
    Abstract: Real-time low-complexity stereo speech enhancement with spatial cue preservation may be performed. A stereo speech enhancement system receives a stereo input signal (e.g., a left and right input signal). The stereo speech enhancement system estimates spatial cues for a target speaker and downmixes the stereo input signal into a monaural signal. A low-complexity model may then process the monaural signal to generate an enhanced monaural signal. The stereo speech enhancement system upmixes the enhanced monaural signal based on the estimated spatial cues for the target speaker, to generate an enhanced stereo output signal.
