ARTIFREE: DETECTING AND REDUCING GENERATIVE ARTIFACTS IN DIFFUSION-BASED SPEECH ENHANCEMENT
ICASSP 2026poster
Diffusion-based speech enhancement (SE) achieves natural-sounding speech and strong generalization, yet suffers from key limitations like generative artifacts and high inference latency. In this work, we systematically study artifact prediction and reduction in diffusion-based SE. We show that varia…
