Claim One:
1. A method for noise suppression, comprising: receiving, by a first processor communicatively coupled with a first memory, first noisy speech, the first noisy speech obtained using two or more microphones; extracting, by the first processor, one or more first cues from the first noisy speech, the one or more first cues including cues associated with noise suppression and automatic speech processing; and creating clean automatic speech processing features using a mapping and the extracted one or more first cues, the clean automatic speech processing features being for use in automatic speech processing and the mapping being provided by a process including: receiving, by a second processor communicatively coupled with a second memory, clean speech and noise; producing, by the second processor, second noisy speech using the clean speech and the noise; extracting, by the second processor, one or more second cues from the second noisy speech, the one or more second cues including cues associated with noise suppression and noisy automatic speech processing; extracting clean automatic speech processing cues from the clean speech; and generating, by the second processor, the mapping from the one or more second cues to the clean automatic speech processing cues, the generating including at least one machine-learning technique.
