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 ...

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 ...

Offline Cursive Handwriting: From Word To Text Recognition

Alessandro Vinciarelli

This thesis presents a PhD work on offline cursive handwriting recognition, the automatic transcription of cursive data when only its image is available. Two main approaches were used in the literature to solve the problem. The first one attempts to segmen ...

Speech/Music Discrimination using Entropy and Dynamism Features in a HMM Classification Framework

Hervé Bourlard, Jitendra Ajmera

In this paper, we present a new approach towards high performance speech/music discrimination on realistic tasks related to the automatic transcription of broadcast news. In the approach presented here, the (local) Probability Density Function (PDF) estima ...

Speech recognition with auxiliary information

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a very challenging problem due to the wide variety of the data that it must be able to deal with. Being the standard tool for ASR, hidden Markov models (HMMs) have proven to work well for ASR when there are controls ov ...

Nonlinear Spectral Transformations for Robust Speech Recognition

Hervé Bourlard, Hynek Hermansky, Shajith Ikbal

Recently, a nonlinear transformation of autocorrelation coefficients named Phase AutoCorrelation (PAC) coefficients has been considered for feature extraction \cite{ikbal03}. PAC based features show improved robustness to additive noise as a result of two ...
