Exploiting models intrinsic robustness for noisy speech recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose in this paper an original approach to build masks in the framework of missing data recognition. The proposed soft masks are estimated from the models themselves, and not from the test signal as it is usually the case. They represent the intrinsic robustness of model’s log-spectral coefficients. The method is validated with cepstral models, on two synthetic and two real-life noises, at different signal-to-noise ratios. We further discuss how such masks can be combinedwith other signal-based masks and noise compensation techniques.

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 کاملAn Information-Theoretic Discussion of Convolutional Bottleneck Features for Robust Speech Recognition
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown their performance in speech recognition systems for extracting features, and also acoustic modeling. In addition, CNNs have been used for robust speech recognition and competitive results have been reported. Convolutive Bottleneck Network (CBN) is a kind of CNNs which has a bottleneck layer among its fully connected layers. The bottleneck fea...
متن کاملPersian Phone Recognition Using Acoustic Landmarks and Neural Network-based variability compensation methods
Speech recognition is a subfield of artificial intelligence that develops technologies to convert speech utterance into transcription. So far, various methods such as hidden Markov models and artificial neural networks have been used to develop speech recognition systems. In most of these systems, the speech signal frames are processed uniformly, while the information is not evenly distributed ...
متن کاملEdit Machines for Robust Multimodal Language Processing
Multimodal grammars provide an expressive formalism for multimodal integration and understanding. However, handcrafted multimodal grammars can be brittle with respect to unexpected, erroneous, or disfluent inputs. Spoken language (speech-only) understanding systems have addressed this issue of lack of robustness of hand-crafted grammars by exploiting classification techniques to extract fillers...
متن کاملImproving the performance of MFCC for Persian robust speech recognition
The Mel Frequency cepstral coefficients are the most widely used feature in speech recognition but they are very sensitive to noise. In this paper to achieve a satisfactorily performance in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications we introduce a noise robust new set of MFCC vector estimated through following steps. First, spectral mean normalization is a pre-processing which applies to t...
