Model synthesis for band-limited speech recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
A recognizer trained with full-bandwidth speech performs badly when recognizing band-limited speech because of environment mismatch. In this paper, we have proposed a novel model synthesis method for band-limited speech recognition. It detects speech bandwidth automatically and synthesizes a new acoustic model only using a full-bandwidth model when the bandwidth has been changed. Experiments conducted on TIMIT/NTIMIT databases show that the proposed method has achieved substantial improvement over the baseline speech recognizer.

Missing-feature reconstruction for band-limited speech recognition in spoken document retrieval
In spoken document retrieval, it is necessary to support a variety of audio corpora from sources that have a range of conditions (e.g., channels, microphones, noise conditions, recording media, etc.). Varying band-limited speech represents one of the most challenging factors for robust speech recognition. The missing-feature reconstruction method shows the effectiveness in recognition of the sp...
متن کاملMissing-feature method for speaker recognition in band-restricted conditions
In this study, the missing-feature method is considered to address band-limited speech for speaker recognition. In an effort to mitigate possible degradation due to the general speaker independent model, a two-step reconstruction scheme is developed, where speaker class independent/dependent models are used separately. An advanced marginalization in the cepstral domain is proposed employing a h...

In recent years, sub−band speech recognition has been found useful in robust speech recognition, especially for speech signals contaminated by band−limited noise. In sub−band speech recognition, full band speech is divided into several frequency sub−bands and then sub−band feature vectors or their generated likelihoods by corresponding sub−band recognizers are combined to give the result of rec...
