Title
A noise-robust front-end for distributed speech recognition in mobile communications
Abstract
Abstract This paper investigates a new front-end processing that aims at improving the performance of speech recognition in noisy mobile environments. This approach combines features based on conventional Mel-cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs), Line Spectral Frequencies (LSFs) and formant-like (FL) features to constitute robust multivariate feature vectors. The resulting front-end constitutes an alternative to the DSR-XAFE (XAFE: eXtended Audio Front-End) available in GSM mobile communications. Our results showed that for highly noisy speech, using the paradigm that combines these spectral cues leads to a significant improvement in recognition accuracy on the Aurora 2 task.
