# SepFormer trained on RescueSpeech for speech enhancement (16k sampling frequency)
This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform speech enhancement (denoising) with a [SepFormer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.13154v2) model, implemented with SpeechBrain. The model was first trained on Microsoft-DNS 4 dataset and further fine-tuned on RescueSpeech dataset 16k sampling frequency. For a better experience we encourage you to learn more about [SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io). Given below is model performance on RescueSpeech test set.


| Release | Test-Set SI-SNRi | Test-Set SI-SDRi |Test-Set PESQ |
|:-------------:|:--------------:|:--------------:|:--------------:|
| 07-01-23 | 7.849 | 8.414 | 2.24 |

where SI-SNRi and SI-SDRi indicates the improvement in SI-SNR and SI-SDR metric.

## Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install SpeechBrain with the following command:

```
pip install speechbrain
```

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about [SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io).

### Perform speech enhancement on your own audio file

```python
from speechbrain.pretrained import SepformerSeparation as separator
import torchaudio

model = separator.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/rescuespeech_sepformer", savedir='pretrained_models/rescuespeech_sepformer')

# for custom file, change path
est_sources = model.separate_file(path='speechbrain/rescuespeech_sepformer/example_rescuespeech16k.wav') 

torchaudio.save("enhanced_rescuespeech16k.wav", est_sources[:, :, 0].detach().cpu(), 16000)

```

### Inference on GPU
To perform inference on the GPU, add  `run_opts={"device":"cuda"}`  when calling the `from_hparams` method.

### Limitations
The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
