On Variable-Scale Piecewise Stationary Spectral Analysis of Speech Signals for ASR

Hervé Bourlard, Vivek Tyagi

It is often acknowledged that speech signals contain short-term and long-term temporal properties that are difficult to capture and model by using the usual fixed scale (typically 20ms) short time spectral analysis used in hidden Markov models (HMMs), base ...

Using Pitch as Prior Knowledge in Template-Based Speech Recognition

Hervé Bourlard, Guillermo Aradilla

In a previous paper on speech recognition, we showed that templates can better capture the dynamics of speech signal compared to parametric models such as hidden Markov models. The key point in template matching approaches is finding the most similar templ ...

Nonlinear feature transformations for noise robust speech recognition

Shajith Ikbal

Robustness against external noise is an important requirement for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, when it comes to deploying them for practical applications. This thesis proposes and evaluates new feature-based approaches for improving the ASR ...

Spectro-Temporal Activity Pattern (STAP) Features for Noise Robust ASR

Hervé Bourlard, Hemant Misra, Shajith Ikbal

In this paper, we introduce a new noise robust representation of speech signal obtained by locating points of potential importance in the spectrogram, and parameterizing the activity of time-frequency pattern around those points. These features are referre ...

Robust Speech Recognition and Feature Extraction Using HMM2

Hervé Bourlard, Samy Bengio, Katrin Weber, Shajith Ikbal

This paper presents the theoretical basis and preliminary experimental results of a new HMM model, referred to as HMM2, which can be considered as a mixture of HMMs. In this new model, the emission probabilities of the temporal (primary) HMM are estimated ...

HMM mixtures (HMM2) for robust speech recognition

Katrin Weber

State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) techniques are typically based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) for the modeling of temporal sequences of feature vectors extracted from the speech signal. At the level of each HMM state, Gaussian mixture m ...

Automatic Speech Recognition using Dynamic Bayesian Networks with the Energy as an Auxiliary Variable

In current automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, the energy is not used as part of the feature vector in spite of being a fundamental feature in the speech signal. The noise inherent in its estimation degrades the system performance. In this report w ...
