Dbnet: A Dual-branch Network Architecture Processing On Spectrum And Waveform For Single-channel Speech Enhancement

Abstract

In real acoustic environment, speech enhancement is an arduous task to improve the quality and intelligibility of speech interfered by background noise and reverberation. Over the past years, deep learning has shown great potential on speech enhancement. In this paper, we propose a novel real-time framework called DBNet which is a dual-branch structure with alternate interconnection. Each branch incorporates an encoder-decoder architecture with skip connections. The two branches are responsible for spectrum and waveform modeling, respectively. A bridge layer is adopted to exchange information between the two branches. Systematic evaluation and comparison show that the proposed system substantially outperforms related algorithms under very challenging environments. And in INTERSPEECH 2021 Deep Noise Suppression (DNS) challenge, the proposed system ranks the top 8 in real-time track 1 in terms of the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) of the ITU-T P.835 framework.
