Abstract | The transformer architecture has shown great capability in learning long-term dependency and works well in multiple domains. However, transformer has been less considered in audio-visual speech enhancement (AVSE) research, partly due to the convention that treats speech enhancement as a short-time signal processing task. In this paper, we challenge this common belief and show that an audio-visual transformer can significantly improve AVSE performance, by learning the long-term dependency of both intra-modality and inter-modality. We test this new transformer-based AVSE model on the GRID and AVSpeech datasets, and show that it beats several state-of-the-art models by a large margin. |
