Exemplar-based speech enhancement for deep neural network based automatic speech recognition

Deep neural network (DNN) based acoustic modelling has been successfully used for a variety of automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks, thanks to its ability to learn higher-level information using multiple hidden layers. This paper investigates the …

Exemplar-based noise robust automatic speech recognition using modulation spectrogram features

We propose a novel exemplar-based feature enhancement method for automatic speech recognition which uses coupled dictionaries: an input dictionary containing atoms sampled in the modulation (envelope) spectrogram domain and an output dictionary with …

Coupled dictionary training for exemplar-based speech enhancement

In exemplar-based speech enhancement systems, lower dimensional features are preferred over the full-scale DFT features for their reduced computational complexity and the ability to better generalize for the unseen cases. But in order to obtain the …
