Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing an audio signal are disclosed. According to an example embodiment, a method of processing an audio signal may include acquiring a final audio signal for an initial audio signal using a plurality of neural network models generating output audio signals by encoding and decoding input audio signals, calculating a difference between the initial audio signal and the final audio signal in a time domain, converting the initial audio signal and the final audio signal into Mel-spectra, calculating a difference between the Mel-spectra of the initial audio signal and the final audio signal in a frequency domain, training the plurality of neural network models based on results calculated in the time domain and the frequency domain, and generating a new final audio signal distinguished from the final audio signal from the initial audio signal using the trained neural network models.
