Sparse, Hierarchical and Semi-Supervised Base Learning for Monaural Enhancement of Conversational Speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the learning of noise bases in a monaural speaker-independent speech enhancement framework based on non-negative matrix factorization. Bases are estimated from training data in batch processing by means of hierarchical and non-hierarchical sparse coding, or determined during the speech enhancement process based on the divergence of the observed noisy speech signal and the speech base. In extensive test runs on the Buckeye corpus of highly spontaneous speech and the CHiME corpus of nonstationary real-life noise, we observe that semi-supervised learning of noise bases leads to overall best results while a-priori learning of noise bases is useful to speed up computation.

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...

We address the speaker independent automatic recognition of spontaneous speech in highly variable noise by applying semisupervised sparse non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) for speech enhancement coupled with our recently proposed frontend utilizing bottleneck (BN) features generated by a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) recurrent neural network. In our evaluation, we unite the...

We propose the application of a semi-supervised learning method to improve the performance of acoustic modelling for automatic speech recognition with limited linguistically annotated material. Our method combines sparse autoencoders with feed-forward networks, thus taking advantage of both unlabelled and labelled data simultaneously through mini-batch stochastic gradient descent. We tested the...
