Boosting Local Spectro-Temporal Features for Speech Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce the problem of phone classification in the context of speech recognition, and explore several sets of local spectro-temporal features that can be used for phone classification. In particular, we present some preliminary results for phone classification using two sets of features that are commonly used for object detection: Haar features and SVMclassified Histograms of Gradients (HoG).

Phoneme Classification Using Temporal Tracking of Speech Clusters in Spectro-temporal Domain
This article presents a new feature extraction technique based on the temporal tracking of clusters in spectro-temporal features space. In the proposed method, auditory cortical outputs were clustered. The attributes of speech clusters were extracted as secondary features. However, the shape and position of speech clusters change during the time. The clusters temporally tracked and temporal tra...
متن کاملGeneralization performance of spetro-temporal speech features
Introduction Despite the fact that the dynamic aspects of speech are very important, conventional speech features as Mel Ceptstral Coefficients (Mfccs) [1] and RelAtive SpecTrAl Perceptual Linear Predictive (Rasta-Plp) features [2] capture only stationary spectral information. We could previously show that a combination of conventional speech features with spectro-temporal speech features yield...
متن کاملEstimating sparse spectro-temporal receptive fields with natural stimuli.
Several algorithms have been proposed to characterize the spectro-temporal tuning properties of auditory neurons during the presentation of natural stimuli. Algorithms designed to work at realistic signal-to-noise levels must make some prior assumptions about tuning in order to produce accurate fits, and these priors can introduce bias into estimates of tuning. We compare a new, computationally...
متن کاملMulti-stream spectro-temporal features for robust speech recognition
A multi-stream approach to utilizing the inherently large number of spectro-temporal features for speech recognition is investigated in this study. Instead of reducing the featurespace dimension, this method divides the features into streams so that each represents a patch of information in the spectrotemporal response field. When used in combination with MFCCs for speech recognition under both...
متن کاملRobustness of spectro-temporal features against intrinsic and extrinsic variations in automatic speech recognition
The effect of bio-inspired spectro-temporal processing for automatic speech recognition (ASR) is analyzed for two different tasks with focus on the robustness of spectro-temporal Gabor features in comparison to mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). Experiments aiming at extrinsic factors such as additive noise and changes of the transmission channel were carried out on a digit classifica...
