Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Deep neural network (DNN)-based speech enhancement usually uses a clean speech as a training target. However, it is hard to collect large amounts of clean speech because its recording is very costly. To relax this limitation, we proposed Noisy-target Training (NyTT) that utilizes noisy speech as a training target. It has been experimentally shown that NyTT can train a DNN without clean speech. However, sufficient investigations have not been conducted to clarify the reason why NyTT works, its detailed property, and the effectiveness of utilizing large amounts of noisy speech. In this paper, we conduct various analyses to deepen our understanding of NyTT. Based on the property of NyTT, we also propose a refined method that performs higher-quality speech enhancement. Furthermore, we investigate whether using a huge amount of noisy speech is effective for improving speech enhancement performance.
