Bone-conduction Guided Multimodal Speech Enhancement with Conditional Diffusion Models

preprint2026arXivOpen access

Abstract

Single-channel speech enhancement models face significant performance degradation in extremely noisy environments. While prior work has shown that complementary bone-conducted speech can guide enhancement, effective integration of this noise-immune modality remains a challenge. This paper introduces a novel multimodal speech enhancement framework that integrates bone-conduction sensors with air-conducted microphones using a conditional diffusion model. Our proposed model significantly outperforms previously established multimodal techniques and a powerful diffusion-based single-modal baseline across a wide range of acoustic conditions.
