SRTNet: Time Domain Speech Enhancement Via Stochastic Refinement
share
Diffusion model, as a new generative model which is very popular in image generation and audio synthesis, is rarely used in speech enhancement. In this paper, we use the diffusion model as a module for stochastic refinement. We propose SRTNet, a novel method for speech enhancement via Stochastic Refinement in complete Time domain. Specifically, we design a joint network consisting of a deterministic module and a stochastic module, which makes up the “enhance-and-refine” paradigm. We theoretically demonstrate the feasibility of our method and experimentally prove that our method achieves faster training, faster sampling and higher quality. Our code and enhanced samples are available at https://github.com/zhibinQiu/SRTNet.git.
