Robust Online Multi-Channel Speech Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a system for robust online far-field multi-channel speech recognition with minimal assumptions on microphone configuration and target location. We employ an online-enabled Generalized Eigenvalue (GEV) beamformer and a Long Short-TermMemory (LSTM) network to robustly calculate the signal statistics necessary for the beamforming operation in the front-end. After multiple channels have been condensed to one, a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) acoustic model is applied on a running window of input speech. This enables online decoding in combination with the beamforming front-end. To assess the performance of the system we test it on the real evaluation set of the CHiME 3 data where we achieve a Word Error Rate (WER) of 10.4 %.

Robust feature space adaptation for telephony speech recognition
Speaker adaptation is critical for modern speech recognition systems. Due to the computational and multi-channel model sharing considerations, the use of model adaptation techniques is limited in telephony speech recognition systems. On the other hand, feature space adaptation methods such as feature space maximum likelihood linear regression (fMLLR) are efficient approaches suitable for teleph...

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 کاملMulti-microphone Correlation-based Processing for Robust Speech Recognition
In this paper we present a new method of signal processing for robust speech recognition using multiple microphones. The method, loosely based on the human binaural hearing system, consists of passing the speech signals detected by multiple microphones through bandpass filtering and nonlinear rectification operations, and then cross-correlating the outputs from each channel within each frequenc...
