Recent high-performance transformer-based speech enhancement models demonstrate that time domain methods could achieve similar performance as time-frequency domain methods. However, time-domain speech enhancement systems typically receive input audio sequences consisting of a large number of time steps, making it challenging to model extremely long sequences and train models to perform adequately. In this paper, we utilize smaller audio chunks as input to achieve efficient utilization of audio information to address the above challenges. We propose a dual-phase audio transformer for denoising (DPATD), a novel model to organize transformer layers in a deep structure to learn clean audio sequences for denoising. DPATD splits the audio input into smaller chunks, where the input length can be proportional to the square root of the original sequence length. Our memory-compressed explainable attention is efficient and converges faster compared to the frequently used self-attention module. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

通过利用较小的音频块作为输入，我们提出了一种名为DPATD的双相音频变压器模型，该模型组织了一个深层结构的变压器层以学习用于降噪的清洁音频序列。广泛的实验证明我们的模型优于现有技术方法。
