In this letter, we propose a novel speech enhancement technique based on global soft decision incorporating a support vector machine (SVM). Global soft decision in the proposed approach is performed employing the probabilistic outputs of the SVM rather than the conventional Bayes' rule. Actually, global speech absence probability (GSAP) is determined by the sigmoid function based on key parameters estimated by the model-trust minimization algorithm of the SVM output. Improved results are obtained in terms of speech quality measures for various types of noise and at different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels when the proposed SVM is adopted in the global soft decision for speech enhancement.
