Improved robustness for speech recognition under noisy conditions using correlated parallel model combination
نویسندگان
چکیده
The parallel model combination (PMC) technique has been shown to achieve very good performance for speech recognition under noisy conditions. In this approach, the speech signal and the noise are assumed uncorrelated during modeling. In this paper, a new correlated PMC is proposed by properly estimating and modeling the nonzero correlation between the speech signal and the noise. Preliminary experimental results show that this correlated PMC can provide significant improvements over the original PMC in terms of both the model differences and the recognition accuracies. Error rate reduction on the order of 14% can be achieved.

Speech 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...
متن کاملImproved parallel model combination based on better domain transformation for speech recognition under noisy environments
The parallel model combination (PMC) technique has been shown to achieve very good performance for speech recognition under noisy conditions. However, there still exist some problems based on the PMC formula. In this paper, we first investigated these problems and some modifications on the transformation process of PMC were proposed. Experimental results show that this modified PMC can provide ...
متن کاملMultiple Timescale Feature Combination Towards Robust Speech Recognition
While a lot of progress has been made during the last years in the field of Automatic Speech recognition (ASR), one of the main remaining problems is that of robustness. Typically, state-of-the-art ASR systems work very efficiently in well-defined environments, e.g. for clean speech or known noise conditions. However, their performance degrades drastically under different conditions. Many appro...
متن کاملText-dependent speaker verification under noisy conditions using parallel model combination
In real speaker verification applications, additive or convolutive noise creates a mismatch between training and recognition environments, degrading performance. Parallel Model Combination (PMC) is used successfully to improve the noise robustness of Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based speech recognisers [5]. This paper presents the results of applying PMC to compensate for additive noise in HMM-ba...
متن کاملNoise-robust multi-stream fusion for text-independent speaker authentication
Multi-stream approaches have proven to be very successful in speech recognition tasks and to a certain extent in speaker authentication tasks. In this study we propose a noiserobust multi-stream text-independent speaker authentication system. This system has two steps: first train the stream experts under clean conditions and then train the combination mechanism to merge the scores of the strea...
