SepFormer trained on Microsoft DNS-4 (Deep Noise Suppression Challenge 4 – ICASSP 2022) for speech enhancement (16k sampling frequency)

This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform speech enhancement (denoising) with a SepFormer model, implemented with SpeechBrain. The model is trained on 1300HRS of Microsoft-DNS 4 dataset with 16k sampling frequency. For a better experience we encourage you to learn more about SpeechBrain. Evaluation on DNS4 2022 baseline dev set using DNSMOS are-

Release	SIG	BAK	OVRL
08-01-23	2.999	3.076	2.437

DNSMOS - deep noise suppression (DNS)- mean opinion score (MOS) is a non-intrusive evaluation metric. It computes 3 scores– SIG (speech quality), BAK (background noise quality), and OVRL (overall quality) each on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best quality.

Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install SpeechBrain with the following command:

pip install speechbrain

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about SpeechBrain.

Perform speech enhancement on your own audio file

from speechbrain.pretrained import SepformerSeparation as separator
import torchaudio

model = separator.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/sepformer-dns4-16k-enhancement", savedir='pretrained_models/sepformer-dns4-16k-enhancement')

# for custom file, change path
est_sources = model.separate_file(path='speechbrain/sepformer-dns4-16k-enhancement/example_dns4-16k.wav') 

torchaudio.save("enhanced_dns4-16k.wav", est_sources[:, :, 0].detach().cpu(), 16000)

Inference on GPU

To perform inference on the GPU, add run_opts={"device":"cuda"} when calling the from_hparams method.

You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) here.

Limitations

The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
