Enhancement of connected words in an extremely noisy environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
A speech enhancement algorithm that is based on a connected-word hidden Markov model (HMM) is developed. Speech is assumed to be highly degraded by statistically independent additive noise. The minimum mean square error estimator is derived for a connected-word HMM. Further, we derive an estimator based on a connected-word HMM with explicit state duration. Listening experiments performed with digit strings have shown an increase of intelligibility. The best results were achieved when subjects who listened to the enhanced speech were given the results of an automatic recognition system.

A New Method for Speech Enhancement Based on Incoherent Model Learning in Wavelet Transform Domain
Quality of speech signal significantly reduces in the presence of environmental noise signals and leads to the imperfect performance of hearing aid devices, automatic speech recognition systems, and mobile phones. In this paper, the single channel speech enhancement of the corrupted signals by the additive noise signals is considered. A dictionary-based algorithm is proposed to train the speech...
متن کاملA Convolutional Neural Network based on Adaptive Pooling for Classification of Noisy Images
Convolutional neural network is one of the effective methods for classifying images that performs learning using convolutional, pooling and fully-connected layers. All kinds of noise disrupt the operation of this network. Noise images reduce classification accuracy and increase convolutional neural network training time. Noise is an unwanted signal that destroys the original signal. Noise chang...

متن کاملA perception and PDE based nonlinear transformation for processing spoken words
A perception and PDE (partial di erential equation) based nonlinear transformation is proposed to process spoken words in noisy environment. The transformation was designed to reduce noise through time adaptation and spectral enhancement by evolving a focusing quadratic fourth order nonlinear PDE (the Cahn-Hillard equation). Constant, low SNR signals were adaptively decreased to reduce noise. O...
