Robust isolated word recognition using WSP-PMC combination
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new robust algorithm for isolated word recognition in low SNR environments is suggested. The algorithm, called WSP, is described here for left to right models with no skips. It is shown that the algorithm outperforms the conventional HMM in the SNR range of 5 to 20db, and the PMC algorithm in the range 0 to-9db.

Robust continuous speech recognition using parallel model combination
This paper addresses the problem of automatic speech recognition in the presence of interfering noise. It focuses on the Parallel Model Combination (PMC) scheme, which has been shown to be a powerful technique for achieving noise robustness. Most experiments reported on PMC to date have been on small, 10-50 word vocabulary systems. Experiments on the Resource Management (RM) database, a 1000 wo...
متن کاملModel-based approach for robust speech recognition in noisy environements with multiple noise sources
In this paper, we consider the hidden Markov model(HMM) parameter compensation in noisy environments with multiple noise sources based on the vector Taylor series(VTS) approach. General formulations for multiple environmental variables are derived and systematic expectation-maximization(EM) solutions are presented in maximum likelihood(ML) sense. It is assumed that each noise source is independ...

متن کاملImproved model parameter compensation methods for noise-robust speech recognition
In this paper we study model parameter compensation methods for noise-robust speech recognition based on CDHMM. First, we propose a modified PMC method where adjustment term in the model parameter adaptation is varied depending on mixture components of HMM to obtain more reliable modeling. A statedependent association factor that controls the average parameter variability of Gaussian mixtures a...
متن کاملSpeech recognition in noisy environments using first-order vector Taylor series
Ž . In this paper, we generalize relations between clean and noisy speech signal using vector Taylor series VTS expansion Ž . for noise-robust speech recognition. We use it for both the noisy data compensation and hidden Markov model HMM parameter adaptation, and apply it for the cepstral domain directly, while Moreno used it to estimate the log-spectral parameters. Also, we develop a detailed ...
