Robust Speech Recognition Usin Intra-speaker Ada
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inter-speaker variation can be coped rather well in speech recognition by speaker adaptation techniques such as MLLR and MAP. However, when dealing with speech other than reading style, such as conversational speech, emotional speech and so on, current recognition systems cannot achieve a satisfactory performance even after speaker adaptation. In view of this situation, two-level adaptation method was newly proposed, where adaptation technique was applied in two levels to handle inter-speaker and intra-speaker variations. A speaker independent model is first adapted to a specific speaker to generate a speaker dependent model. Then, after classifying the training data into several categories, the speaker dependent model is further adapted to each category using data classified to it (category dependent model). The recognition is done in parallel using the speaker dependent model and each category dependent model, and the result with highest likelihood is selected as the final recognition result. Recognition experiments were conducted for speech with various emotions (emotion of input speech is unknown), and the results showed that the proposed method outperformed the conventional MLLR-based speaker adaptation.

Although, speech recognition systems are widely used and their accuracies are continuously increased, there is a considerable performance gap between their accuracies and human recognition ability. This is partially due to high speaker variations in speech signal. Deep neural networks are among the best tools for acoustic modeling. Recently, using hybrid deep neural network and hidden Markov mo...

A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...

Many of the problems arising in speech processing are characterized by extremely large training and testing sets, constraining the kinds of models and algorithms that lead to tractable implementations. In particular, we would like the amount of processing associated with each test frame to be sublinear (i.e., logarithmic) in the number of training points. In this paper, we consider smoothed ker...
