Data Driven Design of Filter Bank for Speech Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Filter bank approach is commonly used in feature extraction phase of speech recognition (e.g. Mel frequency cepstral coefficients). Filter bank is applied for modification of magnitude spectrum according to physiological and psychological findings. However, since mechanism of human auditory system is not fully understood, the optimal filter bank parameters are not known. This work presents a method where the filter bank, optimized for discriminability between phonemes, is derived directly from phonetically labeled speech data using Linear Discriminant Analysis. This work can be seen as another proof of the fact that incorporation of psychoacoustic findings into feature extraction can lead to better recognition performance.

Data-Driven Filter-Bank-based Feature Extraction for Speech Recognition
Selecting good feature is especially important to achieve high speech recognition accuracy. Although the mel-cepstrum is a popular and effective feature for speech recognition, it is still unclear that the filter-bank in the mel-cepstrum is always optimal regardless of speech recognition environments or the characteristics of specific speech data. In this paper, we focus on the data-driven filt...

The Mel Frequency cepstral coefficients are the most widely used feature in speech recognition but they are very sensitive to noise. In this paper to achieve a satisfactorily performance in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications we introduce a noise robust new set of MFCC vector estimated through following steps. First, spectral mean normalization is a pre-processing which applies to t...

Adverse environments not only corrupt speech signal by additive and convolutional noises, which can be successfully addressed by a number of suppression algorithms, but also affect the way how speech is produced. Speech production variations introduced by a speaker in reaction to a noisy background (Lombard effect) may result in a severe degradation of automatic speech recognition. This paper c...

e present a new filter bank design method for subband adaptive beamforming. Filter bank design for adaptive filtering poses many problems not encountered in more traditional applications such as subband coding of speech or music. The popular class of perfect reconstruction filter banks is not well-suited for applications involving adaptive filtering because perfect reconstruction is achieved th...

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown their performance in speech recognition systems for extracting features, and also acoustic modeling. In addition, CNNs have been used for robust speech recognition and competitive results have been reported. Convolutive Bottleneck Network (CBN) is a kind of CNNs which has a bottleneck layer among its fully connected layers. The bottleneck fea...
