Abstract

Systems and methods for audio signal processing including an input interface to receive a noisy audio signal including a mixture of target audio signal and noise. An encoder to map each time-frequency bin of the noisy audio signal to one or more phase-related value from one or more phase quantization codebook of phase-related values indicative of the phase of the target signal. Calculate, for each time-frequency bin of the noisy audio signal, a magnitude ratio value indicative of a ratio of a magnitude of the target audio signal to a magnitude of the noisy audio signal. A filter to cancel the noise from the noisy audio signal based on the phase-related values and the magnitude ratio values to produce an enhanced audio signal. An output interface to output the enhanced audio signal.
