Investigating Modulation Spectrogram Features for Deep Neural Network-Based Automatic Speech Recognition

Deep neural network (DNN) based acoustic modelling has been shown to yield significant improvements over Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) for a variety of automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks. In addition, it is also becoming popular to use rich …

Noise Robust Exemplar Matching for Speech Enhancement: Applications to Automatic Speech Recognition

We present a novel automatic speech recognition (ASR) scheme which uses the recently proposed noise robust exemplar matching framework for speech enhancement in the front-end. The proposed system employs a GMM-HMM back-end to recognize the enhanced …

Hybrid input spaces for exemplar-based noise robust speech recognition using coupled dictionaries

Exemplar-based feature enhancement successfully exploits a wide temporal signal context. We extend this technique with hybrid input spaces that are chosen for a more effective separation of speech from background noise. This work investigates the use …

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 …
