The dynamically-adjustable histogram pruning method for embedded voice dialing

چکیده
Memory and speed are two key factors that must be faced when applying voice dialer to Pocket PCs. To provide a solution, a novel decoding method integrated with the score differences of token paths is proposed, named as “Dynamically-Adjustable Histogram Pruning”. Additionally, the computation of likelihood score is accelerated by means of dynamic score lookup table. Furthermore, a new acoustic modeling method based on Extended Initial/Final (XIF) with less dimensioned acoustic feature is proven suitable for embedded speech command recognition. By adopting the methods developed above, we implement a speaker-independent, user definable voice dialing speech recognition system with good performance on a real PDA device. For a 200-Chinese-word vocabulary, its recognition accuracy reaches 97.80%. Meanwhile, it obtains better recognition speed by 80 times and saves decoding space by 30% in comparison to the baseline system using standard Viterbi decoding method.

Pruning redundant synthesis units based on static and delta unit appearance frequency
In order to reduce the footprint of concatenative speech synthesis systems for embedded devices, a novel method for pruning redundant units is introduced in this work. Instead of using only a unit appearance frequency-based pruning criterion, as in the conventional method, the new method introduces the concept of “delta unit appearance frequency” which indicates whether a unit is replaceable or...
متن کاملRuntime Neural Pruning
In this paper, we propose a Runtime Neural Pruning (RNP) framework which prunes the deep neural network dynamically at the runtime. Unlike existing neural pruning methods which produce a fixed pruned model for deployment, our method preserves the full ability of the original network and conducts pruning according to the input image and current feature maps adaptively. The pruning is performed i...
متن کاملSteganalysis Method for LSB Replacement Based on Local Gradient of Image Histogram
In this paper we present a new accurate steganalysis method for the LSBreplacement steganography. The suggested method is based on the changes that occur in thehistogram of an image after the embedding of data. Every pair of neighboring bins of ahistogram are either inter-related or unrelated depending on whether embedding of a bit ofdata in the image could affect both bins or not. We show that...
متن کاملA confidence-guided dynamic pruning approach - utilization of confidence measurement in speech recognition
Improved efficiency of pruning accelerates the search process and leads to a more time efficient speech recognition system. The goal of this work was to develop a new pruning technique which optimizes the well known probability-based pruning (beam width) by utilization of confidence measurement. We use normalized hypotheses scores to guide the beam width of the pruning process dynamically frame...
متن کاملSteganalysis of embedding in difference of image pixel pairs by neural network
In this paper a steganalysis method is proposed for pixel value differencing method. This steganographic method, which has been immune against conventional attacks, performs the embedding in the difference of the values of pixel pairs. Therefore, the histogram of the differences of an embedded image is di_erent as compared with a cover image. A number of characteristics are identified in the di...
