LLM-Guided Reinforcement Learning for Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement

In existing Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement (AVSE) methods, objectives such as Scale-Invariant Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SI-SNR) and Mean Squared Error (MSE) are widely used; however, they often correlate poorly with perceptual quality and provide limited interpretability for optimization. This work proposes a reinforcement learning-based AVSE framework with a Large Language Model (LLM)-based interpretable reward model. An audio LLM generates natural language descriptions of enhanced speech, which are converted by a sentiment analysis model into a 1-5 rating score serving as the PPO reward for fine-tuning a pretrained AVSE model. Compared with scalar metrics, LLM-generated feedback is semantically rich and explicitly describes improvements in speech quality. Experiments on the 4th COG-MHEAR AVSE Challenge (AVSEC-4) dataset show that the proposed method outperforms a supervised baseline and a DNSMOS-based RL baseline in PESQ, STOI, neural quality metrics, and subjective listening tests.
