چکیده

In this work we study variance in the results of neural network training on a wide variety of configurations in automatic speech recognition. Although this variance itself is well known, this is, to the best of our knowledge, the first paper that performs an extensive empirical study on its effects in speech recognition. We view training as sampling from a distribution and show that these distributions can have a substantial variance. These observations have important implications on way results in the literature are reported and interpreted.

شبکه عصبی پیچشی با پنجره‌های قابل تطبیق برای بازشناسی گفتار

Although, speech recognition systems are widely used and their accuracies are continuously increased, there is a considerable performance gap between their accuracies and human recognition ability. This is partially due to high speaker variations in speech signal. Deep neural networks are among the best tools for acoustic modeling. Recently, using hybrid deep neural network and hidden Markov mo...

Persian Phone Recognition Using Acoustic Landmarks and Neural Network-based variability compensation methods

Speech recognition is a subfield of artificial intelligence that develops technologies to convert speech utterance into transcription. So far, various methods such as hidden Markov models and artificial neural networks have been used to develop speech recognition systems. In most of these systems, the speech signal frames are processed uniformly, while the information is not evenly distributed ...

روشی جدید در بازشناسی مقاوم گفتار مبتنی بر دادگان مفقود با استفاده از شبکه عصبی دوسویه

Performance of speech recognition systems is greatly reduced when speech corrupted by noise. One common method for robust speech recognition systems is missing feature methods. In this way, the components in time - frequency representation of signal (Spectrogram) that present low signal to noise ratio (SNR), are tagged as missing and deleted then replaced by remained components and statistical ...

Improving the speech activity detection for the DARPA RATS phase-3 evaluation

This paper presents the work that we conducted for building the speech activity detection (SAD) systems for the phase 3 evaluation of the RATS program. The work focused on improving the SAD performance with the neural network (NN) approach. The major efforts include reducing the false rejections errors by extensions of speech regions in the training references and use of post-processing NNs, an...
