HMM-based techniques for speech segments extraction
The goal of the speech segments extraction process is to separate acoustic events of interest (the speech segment to be recognised) in a continuously recorded signal from other parts of the signal (background). The recognition rate of many voice command systems is very much dependent on speech segment extraction accuracy. This paper discusses two novel HMM based techniques that segregate a spee...
متن کاملHMM-Based Speech Enhancement Using Pitch Period Information in Voiced Speech Segments
An extension of the HMM-based speech enhancement approach [1] is presented. The HMM-based scheme uses hidden Markov models (HMM) to control a state-dependent Wiener filter, which is used to process the noisy speech signal. This scheme gives enhanced speech signals without the annoying tonal artefacts (‘musical noise’) of the spectral subtraction approach. However, parts of the enhanced signal o...
متن کاملHMM-based smoothing for concatenative speech synthesis
This paper will focus on our recent efforts to further improve the acoustic quality of the Whistler Text-to-Speech engine. We have developed an advanced smoothing system that a small pilot study indicates significantly improves quality. We represent speech as being composed of a number of frames, where each frame can be synthesized from a parameter vector. Each frame is represented by a state i...
متن کاملMixed excitation for HMM-based speech synthesis
This paper describes improvements on the excitation model of an HMM-based text-to-speech system. In our previous work, natural sounding speech can be synthesized from trained HMMs. However, it has a typical quality of “vocoded speech” since the system uses a traditional excitation model with either a periodic impulse train or white noise. In this paper, in order to reduce the synthetic quality,...
متن کاملConfidence measures for HMM-based speech recognition
In this paper, we describe our work on the field of confidence measures for HMM-based speech recognition. Confidence measures are a means of estimating the recognition reliability for single words of the recognizer output. The possible applications of such measures are manifold. We present our experiments with well known approaches and propose some new ones. Particularly, we propose to combine ...
