Auditory based front-ends for speech recognition have been compared before, but this paper focuses on two of the most promising algorithms for noise robustness in automatic speech recognition (ASR). The feature sets are Zero-Crossings with Peak Amplitudes (ZCPA) and the recently introduced Power-Law Nonlinearity and Power-Bias Subtraction (PNCC). Standard Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC)...
The goal of this work was to explore the optimization of the feature extraction module (front-end) parameters to improve bird species recognition. We explored optimizing the spectral and temporal parameters of a Mel cepstrum feature-based front-end, starting from common parameter values used in speech processing experiments. These features were modeled using a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) system....
A conventional automatic speech recognizer does not perform well in the presence of noise, while human listeners are able to segregate and recognize speech in noisy conditions. We study a novel feature based on an auditory periphery model for robust speech recognition. Specifically, gammatone frequency cepstral coefficients are derived by applying a cepstral analysis on gammatone filterbank responses...
To study effective speech features which can represent different emotion styles in infant voice, nonlinear features based on Teager Energy Operator are investigated. Neutral state and 4 emotional states (i.e. happiness, impatience, anger and fear) are classified from the infant voice database. MFCC extraction and HMM-based emotion classification are used as baseline system to evaluate the emotional...
