ARMA Filtering of Speech Features Using Energy Based Weights
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a robust feature compensation method to deal with the environmental mismatch is proposed. The proposed method applies energy based weights according to the degree of speech presence to the Mean subtraction, Variance normalization, and ARMA filtering (MVA) processing. The weights are further smoothed by the moving average and maximum filters. The proposed feature compensation algorithm is evaluated on AURORA 2 task and distant talking experiment using the robot platform, and we obtain error rate reduction of 14.4 % and 44.9 % by using the proposed algorithm comparing with MVA processing on AURORA 2 task and distant talking experiment, respectively.

Improved feature enhancement using temporal filtering in speech recognition
The difference between training and testing environments is the major reason of performance degradation of speech recognition. In this paper, to further decrease the mismatch, we apply temporal filtering, Auto-Regression and Moving-Average (ARMA) filtering or RelAtive SpecTrAl (RASTA) filtering, as a post-processor for the log-Energy dynamic Range Normalization-Cepstral Mean and Variance Normal...
متن کاملClassification of emotional speech using spectral pattern features
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a new and challenging research area with a wide range of applications in man-machine interactions. The aim of a SER system is to recognize human emotion by analyzing the acoustics of speech sound. In this study, we propose Spectral Pattern features (SPs) and Harmonic Energy features (HEs) for emotion recognition. These features extracted from the spectrogram ...
