A method for noise adaptation by means of a transformed matrices, in automatic speech recognition

摘要

The improved noise adaptation technique employs a linear or non-linear transformation to the set of Jacobian matrices corresponding to an initial noise condition. An &agr;-adaptation parameter or artificial intelligence operation is employed in a linear or non-linear way to increase the adaptation bias added to the speech models. This corrects shortcomings of conventional Jacobian adaptation, which tend to underestimate the effect of noise. The improved adaptation technique is further enhanced by a reduced dimensionality, principal component analysis technique that reduces the computational burden, making the adaptation technique beneficial in embedded recognition systems.
