Abstract

Speech enhancement plays an essential role in improving the quality of speech signals in noisy environments. This paper investigates the efficacy of integrating Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units (BGRU) and Transformer models for speech enhancement tasks. Through a comprehensive experimental evaluation, our study demonstrates the superiority of this hybrid architecture over traditional methods and standalone models. The combined BGRU-Transformer framework excels in capturing temporal dependencies and learning complex signal patterns, leading to enhanced noise reduction and improved speech quality. Results show significant performance gains compared to existing approaches, highlighting the potential of this integrated model in real-world applications. The seamless integration of BGRU and Transformer architectures not only enhances system robustness but also opens the road for advanced speech processing techniques. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts in speech enhancement technology and sets a solid foundation for future investigations into optimizing model architectures, exploring many application scenarios, and advancing the field of speech processing in noisy environments.
