Beginning of utterance detection algorithm for low complexity ASR engines
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a novel method for beginning of utterance detection is proposed for low complexity ASR systems. Assuming MFCC calculations in the ASR front-end, the additional computational load due to the algorithm is negligible. The algorithm makes use of the delay between the MFCC calculation and decoding process, which is typical in front-ends with feature normalization. The main steps of the algorithm involve LDA projection of MFCC features, mean calculation over the projected features, simple implicit SNR estimation and weighting of the decision statistics according to the estimate. Our experimental results show that high performance is obtained down to fairly low SNR conditions as the beginning of utterance detection starts to fail in a safe way at about 5 dB SNR. These properties make the algorithm an attractive choice for low complexity ASR engines.

We develop a method to detect erroneous interpretation results of user utterances by exploiting utterance histories of individual users in spoken dialogue systems that were deployed for the general public and repeatedly utilized. More specifically, we classify barge-in utterances into correctly and erroneously interpreted ones by using features of individual users’ utterance histories such as t...

The structure of the community is one of the important features of social networks. A community is a sub graph which nodes have a lot of connections to nodes of inside the community and have very few connections to nodes of outside the community. The objective of community detection is to separate groups or communities that are linked more closely. In fact, community detection is the clustering...
متن کاملA Robust, Real-time Endpoint Detector with Energy Normalization for Asr in Adverse Environments
When automatic speech recognition (ASR) is applied to hands-free or other adverse acoustic environments, endpoint detection and energy normalization can be crucial to the entire system. In low signal-to-noise (SNR) situations,conventional approaches of endpointing and energy normalization often fail and ASR performances usually degrade dramatically. The goal of this paper is to find a fast, acc...
