Abstract
The parametric Bayesian Feature Enhancement (BFE) and a datadriven Denoising Autoencoder (DA) both bring performance gains in severe single-channel speech recognition conditions. 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.
