Speech modeling using variational Bayesian mixture of Gaussians
نویسنده
چکیده
The topic of this paper is speech modeling using the Variational Bayesian Mixture of Gaussians algorithm proposed by Hagai Attias (2000). Several mixtures of Gaussians were trained for representing cepstrum vectors computed from the TIMIT database. The VB-MOG algorithm was compared to the standard EM algorithm. VB-MOG was clearly better, its convergence was faster, there was no tendency to overfitting, and finally, it gave consistently better likelihoods for unseen test data using any given number of the mixture components.

متن کاملUnderdetermined Model-Based Blind Source Separation of Reverberant Speech Mixtures using Spatial Cues in a Variational Bayesian Framework
In this paper, we propose a new method for underdetermined blind source separation of reverberant speech mixtures by classifying each time-frequency (T-F) point of the mixtures according to a combined variational Bayesian model of spatial cues, under sparse signal representation assumption. We model the T-F observations by a variational mixture of circularly-symmetric complex-Gaussians. The spa...
متن کاملVariational Bayesian Learning of ICA with Missing Data
Missing data are common in real-world data sets and are a problem for many estimation techniques. We have developed a variational Bayesian method to perform independent component analysis (ICA) on highdimensional data containing missing entries. Missing data are handled naturally in the Bayesian framework by integrating the generative density model. Modeling the distributions of the independent...

متن کاملAdvanced Acoustic Modeling with the Hybrid HMM/BN Framework
Most of the current state-of-the-art speech recognition systems are based on HMMs which usually use mixture of Gaussian functions as state probability distribution model. It is a common practice to use EM algorithm for Gaussian mixture parameter learning. In this case, the learning is done in a ”blind”, data-driven way without taking into account how the speech signal has been produced and whic...
