Acoustic variability and automatic recognition of children's speech
This paper presents several acoustic analyses carried out on read speech collected from Italian children aged from 7 to 13 years and North American children aged from 5 to 17 years. These analyses aimed at achieving a better understanding of spectral and temporal changes in speech produced by children of various ages in view of the development of automatic speech recognition applications. The r...
متن کاملAutomatic Speech Recognition in Adverse Acoustic Conditions
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology has reached maturity to the extent that it can be used successfully in various applications. However, it is by no means the “solved problem ” that some marketing campaigns are promoting it to be. One o f the biggest challenges that operational ASR systems are faced with, is to maintain recognition performance in adverse acoustic conditions. The trai...
متن کاملAutomatic speech recognition and speech variability: A review
Major progress is being recorded regularly on both the technology and exploitation of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and spoken language systems. However, there are still technological barriers to flexible solutions and user satisfaction under some circumstances. This is related to several factors, such as the sensitivity to the environment (background noise), or the weak representation of ...
متن کاملIssues in acoustic modeling of speech for automatic speech recognition
Stochastic modeling is a exible method for handling the large variability in speech for recognition applications. In contrast to dynamic time warping where heuris-tic training methods for estimating word templates are used, stochastic modeling allows a probabilistic and automatic training for estimating models. This paper deals with the improvement of stochastic techniques, especially for a bet...
متن کاملSpeaker Variability in Automatic Speech Recognition
i Preface In the report, the natural logarithm is denoted with log, and the base is stated otherwise. If both time and vector indices are used, the variable h j (k) is the j'th coefficient at time index k, where the bold face represent a vector. Literature references are represented with numbers in IEEE style, e.g. [number], and a the full list of references is found in the References section. ...
