Minimum Description Length Criterion
نویسنده
چکیده
he intelligibility of speech in communication systems is generally reduced by interfering noise. This interference, which can take the form of environmental noise, reverberation, competing speech, or electronic channel noise, reduces intelligibility by masking the signal of interest. The reduction in intelligibility is particularly troublesome for listeners with hearing impairments, who have greater difficulty understanding speech in the presence of noise than do normal-hearing listeners. Numerous digital signal processing (DSP)-based speech enhancement systems have been proposed to improve intelligibility in the presence of noise. Several of these systems have difficulty distinguishing between noise and consonants, and consequently attenuate both. Other methods, which use imprecise estimates of the noise, create audible artifacts that further mask consonants. The objective of the present study is to develop a new noise-reduction method that can reduce additive noise without impairing intelligibility. The new method could be used to improve intelligibility in a wide variety o f applications, with special attention given to digital hearing aids and other portable communication systems (e.g., cellular telephones). In this article, we present a new wavelet-based method for reducing correlated noise in noisy speech signals. We provide background information on the intelligibility problem and on previous attempts to address it. A theoretical framework is then proposed for reduction of correlated noise, along with some preliminary experimental results.

Shrinkage and Denoising by Minimum Message Length
This paper examines orthonormal regression and wavelet denoising within the Minimum Message Length (MML) framework. A criterion for hard thresholding that naturally incorporates parameter shrinkage is derived from a hierarchical Bayes approach. Both parameters and hyperparameters are jointly estimated from the data directly by minimisation of a two-part message length, and the threshold implied...
متن کاملEstimator for Number of Sources Using Minimum Description Length Criterion for Blind Sparse Source Mixtures
In this paper I present a Minimum Description Length Estimator for number of sources in an anechoic mixture of sparse signals. The criterion is roughly equal to the sum of negative normalized maximum log-likelihood and the logarithm of number of sources. Numerical evidence supports this approach and compares favorabily to both the Akaike (AIC) and Bayesian (BIC) Information Criteria. 1 Signal a...
متن کاملMinimum complexity density estimation
The minimum complexity or minimum description-length criterion developed by Kolmogorov, Rissanen, Wallace, So&in, and others leads to consistent probability density estimators. These density estimators are defined to achieve the best compromise between likelihood and simplicity. A related issue is the compromise between accuracy of approximations and complexity relative to the sample size. An i...
متن کاملThe Minimum Description Length Principle in Coding and Modeling
We review the principles of Minimum Description Length and Stochastic Complexity as used in data compression and statistical modeling. Stochastic complexity is formulated as the solution to optimum universal coding problems extending Shannon’s basic source coding theorem. The normalized maximized likelihood, mixture, and predictive codings are each shown to achieve the stochastic complexity to ...
