Robust Continuous Speech Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pnrnary objective of this basic research program is to develop robust methods and models for speaker-independent acoustic recognition of spontaneously-produced, :ontinuous speech. The work has focussed on developing accurate and detailed models of phonemes and their coarticulation for the purpose of large-vocabulary continuous speech recognition. Important goals of this work are to achieve the highest possible word recognition accuracy in continuous speech and to develop methods for the rapid adaptation of phonetic models to the voice of a new speaker.

An Information-Theoretic Discussion of Convolutional Bottleneck Features for Robust Speech Recognition
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown their performance in speech recognition systems for extracting features, and also acoustic modeling. In addition, CNNs have been used for robust speech recognition and competitive results have been reported. Convolutive Bottleneck Network (CBN) is a kind of CNNs which has a bottleneck layer among its fully connected layers. The bottleneck fea...
متن کاملImproving the performance of MFCC for Persian robust speech recognition
The Mel Frequency cepstral coefficients are the most widely used feature in speech recognition but they are very sensitive to noise. In this paper to achieve a satisfactorily performance in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications we introduce a noise robust new set of MFCC vector estimated through following steps. First, spectral mean normalization is a pre-processing which applies to t...
متن کاملSpeaker Adaptation in Continuous Speech Recognition Using MLLR-Based MAP Estimation
A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...

متن کاملImproved Bayesian Training for Context-Dependent Modeling in Continuous Persian Speech Recognition
Context-dependent modeling is a widely used technique for better phone modeling in continuous speech recognition. While different types of context-dependent models have been used, triphones have been known as the most effective ones. In this paper, a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimation approach has been used to estimate the parameters of the untied triphone model set used in data-driven clust...
متن کاملAn Efficient Block-based Dynamic Range Adjustment Method in Noise-robust Continuous Speech Recognition
This paper proposes a new technique for speech feature estimation under noise circumstances. This new approach yields noise-robust continuous speech recognition (CSR). Noiserobust techniques for isolated word speech recognition typically employ the running spectrum analysis (RSA), the running spectrum filtering (RSF) and the dynamic range adjustment (DRA) methods. Among them, only RSA has been ...
