Title
Towards subband-based speech recognition
Abstract
In the framework of hidden Markov models (HMM) or hybrid HMM/Artificial Neural Network (ANN) systems, we present a new approach towards speech recognition. The general idea is to split the whole frequency band (represented in terms of critical bands) into a few sub-bands on which different recognizers are independently applied and then recombined at a certain speech unit level to yield global scores and a global recognition decision. The preliminary results presented in this paper show that such an approach, even using quite simple recombination strategies, can yield at least comparable performance on clean speech while providing significantly better robustness in the case of speech corrupted by narrowband noise.
