Robust automatic speech recognition

• Over the years, much effort has been devoted on developing techniques for noise robust Automatic Speech Recognition(ASR).

• The goal is to make the ASR system more resistant to the mismatch between training and testing condition.

• Noise reduction techniques:– Speech enhancement at the signal level– Robust feature extraction– Adapting the back-end models.

Solve the problem in reverberant environments

• It is well known that the distortions caused by reverberation, background noise, etc., are highly nonlinear in the cepstral domain.

• Dereverberation via suppression and enhancement can be applied for reverberation compensation.

• The drawback is undesirable if the late reverberation is not estimated precisely.

Joint sparse representation based cepstral-domain dereverberation for distant-talking speech recognition

• Most existing sparse representation methods only consider sparse modeling in a single signal space, and few considers dictionary learning across different signal spaces.
