Speech Modeling Using Variational Baye
نویسنده
چکیده
The topic of this paper is speech modeling using the Variational Bayesian Mixture of Gaussians algorithm proposed by Hagai Attias (2000). Several mixtures of Gaussians were trained for representing cepstrum vectors computed from the TIMIT database. The VB-MOG algorithm was compared to the standard EM algorithm. VB-MOG was clearly better, its convergence was faster, there was no tendency to overfitting, and finally, it gave consistently better likelihoods for unseen test data using any given number of the mixture components.

متن کاملBayesian Approaches in Speech Recognition
This paper focuses on applications of Bayesian approaches to speech recognition. Bayesian approaches have been widely studied in statistics and machine learning fields, and one of the advantages of the Bayesian approaches is to improve generalization ability compared to maximum likelihood approaches. The effectiveness for speech recognition is shown experimentally in speaker adaptation tasks by...
متن کاملModeling and Transforming Speech Using Variational Autoencoders
Latent generative models can learn higher-level underlying factors from complex data in an unsupervised manner. Such models can be used in a wide range of speech processing applications, including synthesis, transformation and classification. While there have been many advances in this field in recent years, the application of the resulting models to speech processing tasks is generally not exp...
متن کاملSimulation of Singular Fourth- Order Partial Differential Equations Using the Fourier Transform Combined With Variational Iteration Method
In this paper, we present a comparative study between the modified variational iteration method (MVIM) and a hybrid of Fourier transform and variational iteration method (FTVIM). The study outlines the efficiencyand convergence of the two methods. The analysis is illustrated by investigating four singular partial differential equations with variable coefficients. The solution of singular partia...
متن کاملVariational inference and learning for segmental switching state space models of hidden speech dynamics
This paper describes novel and powerful variational EM algorithms for the segmental switching state space models used in speech applications, which are capable of capturing key internal (or hidden) dynamics of natural speech production. Hidden dynamic models (HDMs) have recently become a class of promising acoustic models to incorporate crucial speech-specific knowledge and overcome many inhere...
