Title
Speech activity detection fusing acoustic phonetic and energy features
Abstract
With the wider deployment of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, the importance of robust speech activity de- tection has been elevated both as a means of reducing band- width in client/server ASR and for overall system stability from barge-in through the recognition process. In this paper we in- vestigate a novel technique for speech activity detection, that we have found to be effective in handling non-stationary noise events without negatively impacting the recognition process. This technique is based on combining acoustic phonetic like- lihood based features with energy features extracted from the signal waveform. Reported results on two speech activity de- tection tasks demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms techniques which rely solely on acoustic or energy features.
