Corrupted Speech Data Considered Useful
نویسندگان
چکیده
The success of Voice-over-IP technology will crucially depend on the provision of a certain level of perceptual speech quality. In this paper we demonstrate that keeping as much corrupted speech data as possible results in a major step towards this goal. To this end, we explore the combination of two key factors which influence the speech quality as perceived by the user: networking mechanisms and signal processing algorithms. We present three strategies of dealing with voice packets that have been damaged by bit errors. The performance of these strategies is assessed using the standardized PESQalgorithm. Results of extensive simulations give a detailed insight into the behavior of the different strategies, and thus prove that corrupted speech data in fact have to be considered useful.

A New Method for Speech Enhancement Based on Incoherent Model Learning in Wavelet Transform Domain
Quality of speech signal significantly reduces in the presence of environmental noise signals and leads to the imperfect performance of hearing aid devices, automatic speech recognition systems, and mobile phones. In this paper, the single channel speech enhancement of the corrupted signals by the additive noise signals is considered. A dictionary-based algorithm is proposed to train the speech...
متن کاملReconstruction of damaged spectrographic features for robust speech recognition
We present two missing-feature based algorithms that recover noise-corrupted regions of spectrographic representations of speech for noise-robust speech recognition. These algorithms modify the incoming feature vector without any changes to the speech recognition system, in contrast to previously-described approaches. The first approach clusters the feature vectors representing clean speech. Mi...

متن کاملSpeech Emotion Recognition Based on Power Normalized Cepstral Coefficients in Noisy Conditions
Automatic recognition of speech emotional states in noisy conditions has become an important research topic in the emotional speech recognition area, in recent years. This paper considers the recognition of emotional states via speech in real environments. For this task, we employ the power normalized cepstral coefficients (PNCC) in a speech emotion recognition system. We investigate its perfor...
