Multi-band continuous speech recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem addressed by this paper is to enhance the continuous speech recognizers robustness to noise. For this purpose, the acoustic signal is filtered into several spectral bands, and independent recognition is achieved in each band. Then, the system recombines the results given by each recognizer and delivers a unique solution. The main advantage of this method is to consider the signal only in the bands which are relevant, and to ignore spectral bands which are corrupted by noise. We are developping a speaker-independent continuous speech recognizer based on this principle.

On the robustness of the critical-band adaptive filtering method for multi-source noisy speech recognition
In extensive experiments, the recognition score of a speaker independent isolated word speech recognition system based on a continuous density HMM (CDHMM) has been measured in the presence of real life noises in various SNRs. In all experiments the results show improvement in the mean recognition score when the subband adaptive filtering LMS method is used in comparison to the full-band LMS met...
متن کاملDiscriminative weighting of multi-resolution sub-band cepstral features for speech recognition
This paper explores possible strategies for the recombination of independent multi-resolution sub-band based recognisers. The multi-resolution approach is based on the premise that additional cues for phonetic discrimination may exist in the spectral correlates of a particular sub-band, but not in another. Weights are derived via discriminative training using the ‘Minimum Classification Error’ ...
متن کاملLinear transformations in sub-band groups for speech recognition
Linear transforms have been demonstrated to successfully achieve on-line speaker and environmental adaptation for robust recognition. This paper explores the gains in computational speed, speaker adaptation convergence rate and recognition performance obtained through the use of multi-resolution sub-band linear transforms in speech recognition. A useful feature of multiresolution processing is ...
متن کاملCombining connectionist multi-band and full-band probability streams for speech recognition of natural numbers
Multi-band automatic speech recognition is a new and exploratory area of speech recognition which has been getting much attention in the research community. It has been shown that multiband ASR reduces word error in noisy conditions, particularly in the case of narrow band noise. In this work we show that multi-band ASR could be used to improve the speech recognition accuracy of natural numbers...
متن کاملDevelopment of an asynchronous multi-band system for continuous speech recognition
Recently, multi-band automatic speech recognition (MBASR) is proposed to combat environmental noises. In this paper, we describe the two major efforts in the development of our asynchronous MBASR system for continuous speech recognition. Firstly, we successfully introduce asynchrony among sub-bands under the HMM composition framework. An asynchrony limit of one state is found adequate — relaxin...
