Performance comparisons of the integrated parallel model combination approaches with front-end noise reduction

چکیده
In this paper, to find the best noise robustness approach, we study on approaches implemented at both-end (i.e. front-end and back-end) of speech recognition system. To reduce the noise with lower speech distortion at front-end, we investigate the Two-stage Mel-warped Wiener Filtering (TMWF) in the integrated Parallel Model Combination (PMC) approach. Furthermore, the first-stage of TMWF (i.e. One-stage Mel-warped Wiener Filgering (OMWF)), as well as the well-known Wiener Filtering (WF), is effective to reduce the noise, so we integrate PMC with those front-end noise reduction approaches. From the recognition performance, TMWF-PMC shows improved performance comparing with the well-known WF-PMC, and OMWF-PMC also shows a comparable performance in all noises.

متن کاملAdaptive Line Enhancement Using a Parallel IIR Filter with A Step-By-step Algorithm
A step-by-step algorithm for enhancement of periodic signals that are highly corrupted by additive uncorrelated white gausian noise is proposed. In each adaptation step a new parallel second-order section is added to the previous filters. Every section has only one adjustable parameter, i.e., the center frequency of the self-tuning filter. The bandwidth and the convergence factor of each secti...

متن کاملEvaluation of missing data techniques for in-car automatic speech recognition
One of the major concerns in deploying speech recognition applications is the lack of robustness of the technology. One key aspect is the sensitivity to stationary or non-stationary background noise. Many approaches to noise robust speech recognition have been proposed before. Some modify the front-end signal processing of the recogniser while others work on the back-end, i.e. modelling and dec...

Control of wellbore pressure during drilling operations has always been important in the oil industry as this can prevent the possibility of well blowout. The present research employs a combination of automatic process control and statistical process control for the first time for the identification, monitoring, and control of both random and special causes in drilling operations. To this end, ...
