Tree-structured noise-adapted HMM modeling for piecewise linear-transformation-based adaptation

چکیده
This paper proposes the application of tree-structured clustering to various noise samples or noisy speech in the framework of piecewise-linear transformation (PLT)-based noise adaptation. According to the clustering results, a noisy speech HMM is made for each node of the tree structure. Based on the likelihood maximization criterion, the HMM that best matches the input speech is selected by tracing the tree from top to bottom, and the selected HMM is further adapted by linear transformation. The proposed method is evaluated by applying it to a Japanese dialogue recognition system. The results confirm that the proposed method is effective in recognizing noise-added speech under various noise conditions.

This paper uses the AURORA2 task to investigate the performance of our proposed tree-structured piecewise-linear transformation (PLT) noise adaptation. In our proposed method, an HMM that best matches the input speech is selected based on the likelihood maximization criterion by tracing a tree structured HMM space that is prepared in the training step, and the selected HMM is further adapted by...
متن کاملPiecewise-linear transformation-based HMM adaptation for noisy speech
This paper proposes a new method using piecewise-linear transformation for adapting phone HMMs to noisy speech. Various noises are clustered according to their acoustical property and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), and noisy speech HMM corresponding to each clustered noise is made. Based on the likelihood maximization criterion, the HMM which best matches an input speech is selected and further...
متن کاملCombined simulated data adaptation and piecewise linear transformation for robust speech recognition
This paper proposes a combination of simulated data adaptation and piecewise linear transformation (PLT) for robust continuous speech recognition. The original PLT selects an appropriate acoustic model using tree-structured HMMs and the acoustic model is adapted by the input speech in an unsupervised scheme. This adaptation can improve the acoustic model if the input speech is long enough and i...

In this paper, the problem of the adaptation of a speech recognition system to a new environment is addressed. Recently, a Structural Maximum a Posteriori adaptation (SMAP) for a frame-based HMM model adaptation has been developed. In this method, acoustic model pdfs are organised in a tree and the means and variances of the pdfs are adapted using the linear transformations estimated under MAP ...
متن کاملSpeech Recognition Based on Tree-Structured Clustering and Aspect Model in Multiple Noise Environments
In this paper, we propose speech recognition by using cluster-specific aspect model based on tree-structured clustering in multiple noise environments. Multi-condition hidden Markov model (MC-HMM) is one of the standard methods for speech recognition in noisy environment. While MC-HMM is pretty simple, it is known to be robust against various noises, thus this method is regarded as a “standard”...
