چکیده

Robust speech recognition system is necessary in real environment, whereas tone in Thai speech recognition system is an importance as well. Therefore, we attempt to find tone model for enhancing Thai speech recognition system in noisy environment. In this paper we present an empirical study by configuration fundamental frequency contour, which one of prosodic information for tone language. Fundamental frequency (F0) and its first order time derivatives (dF0) are composed to three tone models: F0, dF0, and F0_dF0. They are appended with non-tonal speech recognition system that used RSF/DRA algorithm to improve noise robust recognition. We evaluated tone models using seven words in five different tones with three types of noise from NOISEX-92; babble, car, and white noises, resulting in a corpus of 6,370 utterances. Experimental results show that the F0_dF0 model gives significantly improve phonetic, tonal, and word recognition.

Classification of Thai Tone Sequences in Syllable-Segmented Speech Using the Analysis-by-Synthesis M - Speech and Audio Processing, IEEE Transactions on

Tone classification is important for Thai speech recognition because tone affects the lexical identification of words. An analysisby-synthesis algorithm for classifying Thai tones in syllable-segmented speech is presented that uses an extension to Fujisaki’s model for tone languages that incorporates tonal assimilation and declination. The classifier correctly identifies all of the tones in 89....

A Hidden Conditional Random Field-Based Approach for Thai Tone Classification

In Thai, tonal information is a crucial component for identifying the lexical meaning of a word. Consequently, Thai tone classification can obviously improve performance of Thai speech recognition system. In this article, we therefore reported our study of Thai tone classification. Based on our investigation, most of Thai tone classification studies relied on statistical machine learning approa...
