the mel frequency cepstral coefficients are the most widely used feature in speech recognition but they are very sensitive to noise. in this paper to achieve a satisfactorily performance in automatic speech recognition (asr) applications we introduce a noise robust new set of mfcc vector estimated through following steps. first, spectral mean normalization is a pre-processing which applies to t...

近幾十年來,無數的學者先進對於此雜訊干擾問題提出了豐富眾多的演算法,略分成兩 大類別:強健性語音特徵參數表示法(robust speech feature representation)與語音模型調適 法(speech model adaptation),第一類別之方法主要目的在抽取不易受到外在環境干擾下 而失真的語音特徵參數,或從原始語音特徵中儘量削減雜訊造成的效應,比較知名的方 法有:倒頻譜平均值與變異數正規化法 (cepstral mean and variance normalization, CMVN)[1]、倒頻譜統計圖正規化法(cepstral histogram normalization, CHN)[2]、倒頻譜平 均值與變異數正規化結合自動回歸動態平均濾波器法(cepstral mean and variance normalization plus auto-r...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, endogenous non-coding RNAs that function as guide molecules to regulate transcription of their target messenger RNAs. Several methods including low-density qPCR arrays are being increasingly used to profile the expression of these molecules in a variety of different biological conditions. Reliable analysis of expression profiles demands removal of technical variati...

We proposed an augmented cepstral mean normalization algorithm that differentiates noise and speech during normalization, and computes a different mean for each. The new procedure reduced the error rate slightly for the case of sameenvironment testing, and significantly reduced the error rate by 25% when an environmental mismatch exists over the case of standard cepstral mean normalization.

Cepstral normalization has been popularly used as a powerful approach to produce robust features for speech recognition. Good examples of approaches in this family include the well known Cepstral Mean Subtraction (CMS) and Cepstral Mean and Variance Normalization (CMVN), in which either the first or both the first and the second moments of the Mel-frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) are nor...

In this paper, we propose an effective compression method for electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. 1-D ECG signals are reconstructed to 2-D ECG data by period and complexity sorting schemes with image compression techniques to increase inter and intra-beat correlation. The proposed method added block division and mean period normalization techniques on top of conventional 2-D data ECG compression m...
