An Efficient Front-End for Distributed Speech Recognition over Mobile

Addou Djamel, Selouani Sid Ahmed, Malika Boudraa, and Bachir Boudraa
Abstract—To improve the robustness of distributed speech front-ends in mobile communication we introduce, in this paper, a new set of feature vector which is estimated through three steps. First, the Mel-Line Spectral Frequencies (MLSFs) coefficients are combined with conventional MFCCs, after extracted from a denoised acoustic frame using the wiener filter. Also, we optimize the stream weights of multi-stream HMMs by deploying a discriminative approach. Finally, these features are adequately transformed and reduced in a multi-stream scheme using Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT). Recognition experiments on the Aurora 2 connected digits database reveal that the proposed front-end leads to a significant improvement in speech recognition accuracy for highly noisy GSM.

Index Terms—Distributed speech recognition, front-end processing, mel-frequency coefficients, Mobile communications, noise robustness.
