Spectral Peak-Weighted Liftering of Cepstral Coefficients for Speech Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a peak-weighted cepstral lifter (PWL) for enhancing the spectral peaks of an all-pole model spectrum in the cepstral domain. The design parameter of the PWL is the degree of pole enhancement or pole shifting toward the unit circle. The optimal pole shifting factor is chosen by considering the sensitivity to spectral resonance peaks, the variability of cepstral variances, and the recognition accuracy. Next, we generalize the PWL so that the optimal shifting factor is adaptively determined in frame-by-frame basis. Compared with other cepstral lifters, a speech recognizer employing the frame-adaptive PWL provides better recognition performance. key words: speech recognition, cepstral analysis, peak-weighted cepstral lifter, frame-adaptive cepstral lifter

Alstract-In a template-based speech recognition system, distortion measures that compute the distance or dissimilarity between two spectral representations have a strong influence on the performance of the recognizer. Accordingly, extensive comparative studies have been conducted to determine good distortion measures for improved recognition accuracy. Previous studies have shown that the log li...

In this paper, cepstral features derived from the differential power spectrum (DPS) are proposed for improving the robustness of a speech recognizer in presence of background noise. These robust features are computed from the speech signal of a given frame through the following four steps. First, the short-time power spectrum of speech signal is computed from the speech signal through the fast ...
متن کاملPerceptual harmonic cepstral coefficients as the front-end for speech recognition
Perceptual harmonic cepstral coefficients (PHCC) are proposed as features to extract for speech recognition. Pitch estimation and classification into voiced, unvoiced, and transitional speech are performed by a spectro-temporal auto-correlation technique. A peak picking algorithm is then employed to precisely locate pitch harmonics. A weighting function, which depends on the classification and ...
