Noise Estimation for Enhancement and Recognition within an Autoregressive Hidden-markov-model Framework
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a new algorithm to enhance and recognise noisy speech when only the noisy signal is available. The system uses autoregressive hidden Markov models (HMMs) to model the clean speech and noise and combines these to form a model for the noisy speech. The combined model is used to determine the likelihood of each observation being just noise. These likelihoods are used to weight each observation to form a new estimate of the noise and the process is repeated. Enhancement is performed using Wiener lters formed from the clean speech and noise models. Results are presented for additive stationary Gaussian and coloured noise.

Speech enhancement based on hidden Markov model using sparse code shrinkage
This paper presents a new hidden Markov model-based (HMM-based) speech enhancement framework based on the independent component analysis (ICA). We propose analytical procedures for training clean speech and noise models by the Baum re-estimation algorithm and present a Maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator based on Laplace-Gaussian (for clean speech and noise respectively) combination in the HMM ...
متن کاملEnhancement and recognition of noisy speech within an autoregressive hidden Markov model framework using noise estimates from the noisy signal
This paper describes a new algorithm to enhance and recognise noisy speech when only the noisy signal is available. The system uses autoregressive hidden Markov models (HMMs) to model the clean speech and noise and combines these to form a model for the noisy speech. The probability framework developed is then used to reestimate the noise models from the corrupted speech waveform and the proces...
متن کاملSpeech recognition and enhancement by a nonstationary AR HMM with gain adaptation under unknown noise
In this paper, a gain-adapted speech recognition in unknown noise is developed in time domain. The noise is assumed to be the colored noise. The nonstationary autoregressive (NAR) hidden markov model (HMM) used to model clean speeches, The nonstationary AR is modeled by polynomial functions with a linear combination of A4 known basis functions. Enhancement using multiple Kalman filters is perfo...
متن کاملUsing AR HMM state-dependent filtering for speech enhancement
In this paper we address the problem of enhancing speech which has been degraded by additive noise. As proposed by Ephraim et al., autoregressive hidden Markov models (AR-HMM) for the clean speech and an autoregressive Gaussian for the noise are used. The filter applied to a given frame of noisy speech is estimated using the noise model and the autoregressive Gaussian having the highest a poste...
متن کاملRecognition of Noisy Speech: A Comparative Survey of Robust Model Architecture and Feature Enhancement
Performance of speech recognition systems strongly degrades in the presence of background noise, like the driving noise inside a car. In contrast to existing works, we aim to improve noise robustness focusing on all major levels of speech recognition: feature extraction, feature enhancement, speech modelling, and training. Thereby, we give an overview of promising auditory modelling concepts, s...
