The first can be adjusted to different conditions by an appropriate parameter setting, while the latter needs to be trained on conditions similar to the ones expected at decoding time, making it vulnerable to a mismatch between training and test conditions. We use a DNN backend and study reverberant ASR under three types of mismatch conditions: different room reverberation times, different speaker to microphone distances and the difference between artificially reverberated data and the recordings in a reverberant environment. We show that for these mismatch conditions BFE can provide the targets for a DA. This unsupervised adaptation provides a performance gain over the direct use of BFE and even enables to compensate for the mismatch of real and simulated reverberant data."}],"type":"conference","publication":"Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2015 IEEE International Conference on"},{"date_created":"2019-07-12T05:29:42Z","author":[{"full_name":"Leutnant, Volker","last_name":"Leutnant","first_name":"Volker"},{"first_name":"Alexander","full_name":"Krueger, Alexander","last_name":"Krueger"},{"last_name":"Haeb-Umbach","full_name":"Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold","id":"242","first_name":"Reinhold"}],"volume":21,"date_updated":"2022-01-06T06:51:11Z","doi":"10.1109/TASL.2013.2258013","title":"Bayesian Feature Enhancement for Reverberation and Noise Robust Speech Recognition","issue":"8","citation":{"apa":"Leutnant, V., Krueger, A., &#38; Haeb-Umbach, R.

A recently proposed observation model is employed whose time-variant observation error statistics are obtained as a side product of the inference of the a posteriori probability density function of the clean speech feature vectors. Further a reduction of the computational effort and the memory requirements are achieved by using a recursive formulation of the observation model. The performance of the proposed algorithms is first experimentally studied on a connected digits recognition task with artificially created noisy reverberant data. It is shown that the use of the time-variant observation error model leads to a significant error rate reduction at low signal-to-noise ratios compared to a time-invariant model. Further experiments were conducted on a 5000 word task recorded in a reverberant and noisy environment. A significant word error rate reduction was obtained demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach on real-world data."}]},{"title":"A Statistical Observation Model For Noisy Reverberant Speech Features and its Application to Robust ASR","main_file_link":[{"url":"http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6335731","open_access":"1"}],"oa":"1","date_updated":"2022-01-06T06:51:11Z","date_created":"2019-07-12T05:29:44Z","author":[{"last_name":"Leutnant","full_name":"Leutnant, Volker","first_name":"Volker"},{"first_name":"Alexander","last_name":"Krueger","full_name":"Krueger, Alexander"},{"full_name":"Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold","id":"242","last_name":"Haeb-Umbach","first_name":"Reinhold"}],"year":"2012","citation":{"ama":"Leutnant V, Krueger A, Haeb-Umbach R.

It relates the features of the noisy reverberant speech to those of the non-reverberant speech and the noise. In contrast to enhancement of features only corrupted by reverberation (reverberant features), enhancement of noisy reverberant features requires a more sophisticated model for the error introduced by the proposed observation model. In a first consideration, it will be shown that this error is highly dependent on the instantaneous ratio of the power of reverberant speech to the power of the noise and, moreover, sensitive to the phase between reverberant speech and noise in the short-time discrete Fourier domain. Afterwards, a statistically motivated approach will be presented allowing for the model of the observation error to be inferred from the error model previously used for the reverberation only case. Finally, the developed observation error model will be utilized in a Bayesian feature enhancement scheme, leading to improvements in word accuracy on the AURORA5 database.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","publication":"Signal Processing, Communications and Computing (ICSPCC), 2012 IEEE International Conference on","type":"conference"}]
