Adaptation of acoustic model using the gain-adapted HMM decomposition method

چکیده
In a real environment, it is essential to adapt acoustic models to variations in background noises in order to realize robust speech recognition. In this paper, we construct an extended acoustic model by combining a mismatch model with a clean acoustic model trained using only clean speech data. We assume the mismatch model conforms to a Gaussian distribution with timevarying population parameters. The proposed method adapts on-line the extended acoustic model to the unknown noises by estimating the time-varying population parameters using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Gain-Adapted Hidden Markov Model (GA-HMM) decomposition method. We performed recognition experiments under noisy conditions using the AURORA2 database in order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

On the Use of Gaussian Mixture Model Framework to Improve Speaker Adaptation of Deep Neural Network Acoustic Models
In this paper we investigate the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) framework for adaptation of context-dependent deep neural network HMM (CD-DNN-HMM) acoustic models. In the previous work an initial attempt was introduced for efficient transfer of adaptation algorithms from the GMM framework to DNN models. In this work we present an extension, further detailed exploration and analysis of the method ...

Noise and speaker adaptation techniques are essential to realize robust speech recognition in real noisy environments . In this paper, we applied spectral subtraction to an unsupervised speaker adaptation algorithm in noisy environments. The adaptation algorithm consists of the following five steps. (1) Spectral subtraction is carried out for noise added database. (2) Noise matched acoustic mod...
متن کاملModel adaptation based on HMM decomposition for reverberant speech recognition
The performance of a speech recognizer is degraded drastically in reverberant environments. We proposed a novel algorithm which can model an observation signal by composition of HMMs of clean speech, noise and an acoustic transfer function[1]. However, how to estimate HMM parameters of the acoustic transfer function is a remaining serious problem. In our previous paper[1], we measured real impu...

In this paper, a new Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based face recognition system is proposed. As a novel point despite of five-state HMM used in pervious researches, we used 7-state HMM to cover more details. Indeed we add two new face regions, eyebrows and chin, to the model. As another novel point, we used a small number of quantized Singular Values Decomposition (SVD) coefficients as feature...
