A Robust Frame-based Nonlinear Prediction System for Automatic Speech Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a neural-based coding scheme in which an artificial neural network is exploited to automatically compress and decompress speech signals by a trainable approach. Having a two-stage training phase, the system can be fully specified to each speech frame and have robust performance across different speakers and wide range of spoken utterances. Indeed, Frame-based nonlinear predictive coding (FNPC) would code a frame in the procedure of training to predict the frame samples. The motivating objective is to analyze the system behavior in regenerating not only the envelope of spectra, but also the spectra phase. This scheme has been evaluated in time and discrete cosine transform (DCT) domains and the output of predicted phonemes show the potentiality of the FNPC to reconstruct complicated signals. The experiments were conducted on three voiced plosive phonemes, b/d/g/ in time and DCT domains versus the number of neurons in the hidden layer. Experiments approve the FNPC capability as an automatic coding system by which /b/d/g/ phonemes have been reproduced with a good accuracy. Evaluations revealed that the performance of FNPC system, trained to predict DCT coefficients is more desirable, particularly for frames with the wider distribution of energy, compared to time samples.

A new signal process based on a nonlinear local prediction model(NLLP) is presented and applied to speech coding. With the same implemention, the speech coding based on the NLLP gives improved performance compared to reference versions of the standard ITUT G.728 and linear local scheme. The computational e orts for the NLLP analysis does not increase over the conventional linear prediction(LP),...

Speech recognition is a subfield of artificial intelligence that develops technologies to convert speech utterance into transcription. So far, various methods such as hidden Markov models and artificial neural networks have been used to develop speech recognition systems. In most of these systems, the speech signal frames are processed uniformly, while the information is not evenly distributed ...
