The use of heterogeneous features in automatic speech recognition has been shown to increase clean speech performance. This paper focuses on the noise robustness of systems with heterogeneous features. In particular a system where di erent features are extracted for di erent sets of phonemes. The employed features are computed by applying a linear transformation, estimated in a data-driven fash...
