Speech Recognition under Stress Condition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this work is to conduct a speech recognition study and evaluate the performance of the same under stressed condition. The speech recognition study is conducted both in isolated word recognition and keyword spotting approaches. The word models are built during training using speech collected from neutral condition. During testing these models are tested with speech signals collected under different stressed conditions to quantify the amount of degradation in each stress condition. It is observed that the performance of the speech recognition system decreases significantly under stressed condition.

A novel training approach for improving speech recognition under adverse stressful conditions
This paper presents a new training approach for improving recognition of speech under emotional and environmental stress. The proposed approach consists of training a speech recognizer with synthetically generated speech under each stress condition using stress perturbation models previously formulated in [4, 1]. The perturbation models were previously formulated to statistically model the para...
متن کاملN-channel hidden Markov models for combined stressed speech classification and recognition
Robust speech recognition systems must address variations due to perceptually induced stress in order to maintain acceptable levels of performance in adverse conditions. One approach for addressing these variations is to utilize front-end stress classification to direct a stress dependent recognition algorithm which separately models each speech production domain. This study proposes a new appr...
متن کاملSpeech Emotion Recognition Based on Power Normalized Cepstral Coefficients in Noisy Conditions
Automatic recognition of speech emotional states in noisy conditions has become an important research topic in the emotional speech recognition area, in recent years. This paper considers the recognition of emotional states via speech in real environments. For this task, we employ the power normalized cepstral coefficients (PNCC) in a speech emotion recognition system. We investigate its perfor...

A hands-free speech recognition system and a hands-free telecommunication system are essential for realizing an intuitive, unconstrained, and stress free human-machine interface. In an actual acoustic environment, however, not only user’s speech but also interference source signals such as background noise and interference speech are existing. Such interferences disturb high-quality speech reco...

This work is aimed at exploiting Second-Order Circular Suprasegmental Hidden Markov Models (CSPHMM2s) as classifiers to enhance talking condition recognition in stressful and emotional talking environments (completely two separate environments). The stressful talking environment that has been used in this work uses Speech Under Simulated and Actual Stress (SUSAS) database, while the emotional t...
