The paper proposes a single‑utterance test‑time adaptation (TTA) method for speech enhancement that uses an autoregressive prior trained on clean speech latent representations from a neural audio codec. The adaptation regularizes a pretrained enhancement model by minimizing the Kullback‑Leibler divergence between the enhanced speech distribution and the clean speech prior. Experiments on multiple noisy speech datasets demonstrate consistent improvements in speech quality, especially when training and testing noise conditions differ.

The paper addresses challenges in extracting target and multiple speakers from real conversational speech, noting that real conversations contain more silence and enrolment samples that differ from the target speech. It introduces a new loss function that reduces the impact of excess silence during training, yielding improvements in STOI (from 0.55 to 0.60) and frequency‑weighted segmental SNR (from 4.35 to 5.12). The study also investigates how mismatches between enrolment and target speech affect performance.
