A blockwise EM algorithm is derived for the estimation of the state and observation noise covariance from noise-only input data. It is supposed to be used during the offline training mode of a speech recognizer. Further a sequential online EM algorithm is developed to adapt the observation noise covariance on noisy speech cepstra at its input. The estimated parameters are then used in model-based speech feature enhancement for noise-robust automatic speech recognition. Experiments on the AURORA4 database lead to improved recognition results with a linear state model compared to the assumption of stationary noise.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing","type":"journal_article","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["AURORA4 database","blockwise EM algorithm","covariance analysis","linear state model","noise covariance","noise-robust automatic speech recognition","noisy speech cepstra","offline training mode","parameter estimation","speech recognition","speech recognition equipment","speech recognizer","state-space methods","state-space model"],"department":[{"_id":"54"}],"user_id":"44006","_id":"11938"},{"publication":"IEEE Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP 2004)","type":"conference","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"The paper is concerned with binaural signal processing for a bimodal human-robot interface with hearing and vision. The two microphone signals are processed to obtain an enhanced single-channel input signal for the subsequent speech recognizer and to localize the acoustic source, an important information for establishing a natural human-robot communication. We utilize a robust adaptive algorithm for filter-and-sum beamforming (FSB) and extract speaker direction information from the resulting FIR filter coefficients. Further, particle filtering is applied which conducts a nonlinear Bayesian tracking of speaker movement. Good location accuracy can be achieved even in highly reverberant environments. The results obtained outperform the conventional generalized cross correlation (GCC) method."}],"status":"public","_id":"11931","department":[{"_id":"54"}],"user_id":"44006","keyword":["bimodal human-robot interface","binaural signal processing","enhanced single-channel input signal","filter-and-sum beamforming","filtering theory","FIR filter coefficient","generalized cross correlation method","microphones","microphone signal","nonlinear Bayesian tracking","particle filtering","robust adaptive algorithm","robust speaker direction estimation","signal processing","speech enhancement","speech recognition","speech recognizer","user interfaces"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2004","page":"367-370","citation":{"apa":"Warsitz, E., &#38; Haeb-Umbach, R.
