On the Use of Artificial Reverberation for Asr in Highly Reverberant Environments
In this paper, we discuss the use of artificial room reverberation methods to increase the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems in highly reverberant enclosures. Our approach consists in training acoustic models on artificially reverberated speech material. In order to obtain the desired reverberated speech training database, we propose to use a reverberating filter whose i...
متن کاملModel-based blind estimation of reverberation time: application to robust ASR in reverberant environments
This paper presents a method for blind estimation of reverberation times in reverberant enclosures. The proposed algorithm is based on a statistical model of short-term log-energy sequences for echo-free speech. Given a speech utterance recorded in a reverberant room, it computes a Maximum Likelihood estimate of the room full-band reverberation time. The estimation method is shown to require li...
متن کاملDouble the trouble: handling noise and reverberation in far-field automatic speech recognition
Far-field microphone speech signals cause high error rates for automatic speech recognition systems, due to room reverberation and lower signal-to-noise ratios. We have observed large increases in speech recognition word error rates when using a far-field (3-6 feet) microphone in a conference room, in comparison with recordings from close-talking microphones. In an earlier paper, we showed impr...
متن کاملAcoustic Study of an Auditorium by the Determination of Reverberation Time and Speech Transmission Index
The quality of the communication between teachers and students and ultimately, of classroom education itself, is closely linked to the acoustic quality of the auditorium. This acoustic quality can be characterized based on the reverberation time (RT), speech transmission index (STI) and the sound insulation. In this context, an acoustic study was conducted in an auditorium located in the Higher...
متن کاملA binaural processor for missing data speech recognition in the presence of noise and small-room reverberation
In this study we describe a binaural auditory model for recognition of speech in the presence of spatially separated noise intrusions, under small-room reverberation conditions. The principle underlying the model is to identify time–frequency regions which constitute reliable evidence of the speech signal. This is achieved both by determining the spatial location of the speech source, and by gr...
