To this end, the SPP estimation is formulated as the posterior probability estimation of the states of a two-dimensional (2D) Hidden Markov Model (HMM). We derive an iterative algorithm to decode the 2D-HMM which is based on the turbo principle. The experimental results show that indeed the SPP estimates improve from iteration to iteration, and further clearly outperform another state-of-the-art SPP estimation algorithm. author: - first_name: Dang Hai Tran full_name: Vu, Dang Hai Tran last_name: Vu - first_name: Reinhold full_name: Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold id: '242' last_name: Haeb-Umbach citation: ama: 'Vu DHT, Haeb-Umbach R.

They are based on a new method for estimating the acoustical transfer function ratios in the presence of stationary noise. The estimation method relies on solving a generalized eigenvalue problem in each frequency bin. An adaptive eigenvector tracking utilizing the power iteration method is employed and shown to achieve a high convergence speed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed beamformer leads to better noise and interference reduction and reduced speech distortions compared to other blocking matrix designs from the literature. author: - first_name: Alexander full_name: Krueger, Alexander last_name: Krueger - first_name: Ernst full_name: Warsitz, Ernst last_name: Warsitz - first_name: Reinhold full_name: Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold id: '242' last_name: Haeb-Umbach citation: ama: Krueger A, Warsitz E, Haeb-Umbach R.

In this paper, these model types are combined in order to obtain a novel iterative speech feature enhancement and recognition architecture. It is shown that speech feature enhancement with SLDMs can be improved by feeding back information from the HMM to the enhancement stage. Two different feedback structures are derived. In the first, the posteriors of the HMM states are used to control the model probabilities of the SLDMs, while in the second they are employed to directly influence the estimate of the speech feature distribution. Both approaches lead to improvements in recognition accuracy both on the AURORA2 and AURORA4 databases compared to non-iterative speech feature enhancement with SLDMs. It is also shown that a combination with uncertainty decoding further enhances performance. author: - first_name: Stefan full_name: Windmann, Stefan last_name: Windmann - first_name: Reinhold full_name: Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold id: '242' last_name: Haeb-Umbach citation: ama: Windmann S, Haeb-Umbach R.

The system consists of a particle filter for tracking line spectral pair (LSP) parameters and a Kalman filter per particle for speech enhancement. The state model for the LSPs has been learnt on clean speech training data. In our approach parameters and speech samples are processed at different time scales by assuming the parameters to be constant for small blocks of data. Further enhancement is obtained by an iteration which can be applied on these small blocks. The experiments show that similar SNR gains are obtained as with the Kalman-LM-iterative algorithm.

In this paper we propose a novel adaptation algorithm for a filter-and-sum beamformer to adjust the coefficients of FIR filters to changing acoustic room impulses, e.g. due to speaker movement. A deterministic and a stochastic gradient ascent algorithm are derived from a constrained optimization problem, which iteratively estimates the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue of the cross power spectral density of the microphone signals. The method does not require an explicit estimation of the speaker location. The experimental results show fast adaptation and excellent robustness of the proposed algorithm. author: - first_name: Ernst full_name: Warsitz, Ernst last_name: Warsitz - first_name: Reinhold full_name: Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold id: '242' last_name: Haeb-Umbach citation: ama: 'Warsitz E, Haeb-Umbach R.
