Search for Information Bearing Components in Speech

چکیده
In this paper, we use mutual information to characterize the distributions of phonetic and speaker/channel information in a timefrequency space. The mutual information (MI) between the phonetic label and one feature, and the joint mutual information (JMI) between the phonetic label and two or three features are estimated . The Miller's bias formulas for entropy and mutual information estimates are extended to include higher order terms. The MI and the JMI for speaker/channel recognition are also estimated. The results are complementary to those for phonetic classification. Our results show how the phonetic information is locally spread and how the speaker/channel information is globally spread in time and frequency.

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 ...

متن کاملA New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...

متن کاملTightly coupling Speech Recognition and Search
In this paper, we discuss the benefits of tightly coupling speech recognition and search components in the context of a speech-driven search application. We demonstrate that by incorporating constraints from the information repository that is being searched not only improves the speech recognition accuracy but also results in higher search accuracy.
