Combining packet loss compensation methods for robust distributed speech recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a combined packet loss compensation system for distributed speech recognition (DSR). Compensation is applied at three stages within the DSR process beginning with interleaving on the terminal device to reduce burst lengths in the received feature vector stream. On the receiver side estimation of missing vectors is applied to reconstruct the feature vector stream prior to recognition. Finally, the decoding process of the recogniser is modified to take into account the varying reliability of these estimated feature vectors. Experiments performed on both the Aurora connected digits task and the WSJCAM0 large vocabulary task show substantial gains in recognition accuracy across a range of packet loss conditions.

Robust distributed speech recognition in noise and packet loss conditions
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t This paper examines the performance of a Distributed Speech Recognition (DSR) system in the presence of both background noise and packet loss. Recognition performance is examined for feature vectors extracted from speech using a physiologically-based auditory model, as an alternative to the more commonly-used Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) front-...
متن کاملAnalysis and compensation of packet loss in distributed speech recognition using interleaving
The aim of this work is to improve the robustness of speech recognition systems operating in burst-like packet loss. First a set of highly artificial packet loss profiles are used to analyse their effect on both recognition performance and on the underlying feature vector stream. This indicates that the simple technique of vector repetition can make the recogniser robust to high percentages of ...
متن کاملPacket Loss Modelling for Distributed Speech Recognition
The evaluation of packet loss compensation techniques for distributed speech recognition requires an effective model of packet loss that is capable of reproducing the burst-like occurrence of loss. Several models have been applied to this task and are based on two or three state Markov chains or Markov models. This work reviews these models in terms of their channel characteristics such as the ...

This work compares the performance of three compensation methods for speech recognition in the presence of packet loss. Two methods, cubic interpolation and a novel maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation, aim to restore the feature vector stream in the event of packet loss, while the third technique applies compensation in the decoding stage of recognition through missing feature theory. To impr...
متن کاملPersian Phone Recognition Using Acoustic Landmarks and Neural Network-based variability compensation methods
Speech recognition is a subfield of artificial intelligence that develops technologies to convert speech utterance into transcription. So far, various methods such as hidden Markov models and artificial neural networks have been used to develop speech recognition systems. In most of these systems, the speech signal frames are processed uniformly, while the information is not evenly distributed ...
