Optimizing Wavelet Parameters for Dereverberation in Automatic Speech Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an optimization method of the wavelet parameters for dereverberation in automatic speech recognition (ASR). By tuning the wavelet parameters to improve the acoustic model likelihood, wavelet-based dereverberation methods become more effective in the ASR application. We evaluate several existing wavelet-based methods and optimize them, based on our proposed scheme. Experimental evaluations through ASR experiments demonstrate significant improvement for all methods with the proposed optimization.

This paper describes a multiple-resolution signal analysis to suppress late reflection of reverberation for robust automatic speech recognition (ASR). Wavelet packet tree (WPT) decomposition offers a finer resolution to discriminate the late reflection subspace from the speech subspace. By selecting appropriate wavelet basis in the WPT for speech and late reflection, we can effectively estimate...
متن کاملRobust Speech Recognition in Reverberant Environment by Optimizing Multi-band Spectral Subtraction
Reverberant environment poses a problem in speech recognition application where performance degrades drastically depending on the extent of reverberation. Thus, it is important to employ front-end speech processing, such as dereverberation to minimize its effect. Most dereverberation techniques used to address this problem enhance the reverberant waveform prior to speech recognition. Although t...

This work is about dereverberation for automatic speech recognition. The use of a linear minimum mean-square error estimator for enhancing a recently proposed dereverberation method is investigated. The conducted phoneme recognition experiments show that the resynthesis step, which was done in the original work of the dereverberation method, can be omitted. Furthermore, it is shown that the rec...
