  We address the problem of speech enhancement generalisation to unseen
environments by performing two manipulations. First, we embed an additional
recording from the environment alone, and use this embedding to alter
activations in the main enhancement subnetwork. Second, we scale the number of
noise environments present at training time to 16,784 different environments.
Experiment results show that both manipulations reduce word error rates of a
pretrained speech recognition system and improve enhancement quality according
to a number of performance measures. Specifically, our best model reduces the
word error rate from 34.04% on noisy speech to 15.46% on the enhanced speech.
