Noise robust sub-band ASR using a HMM/BN framework

Abstract:This document will present the research work I conducted in ATR for five months from April to August 2003. Many approaches have been proposed in the past to deal with noise in robust speech recognition, mainly feature-based and model-based. Here we consider the use of a hybrid HMM/BN framework to increase ASR robustness, by computing the posterior likelihood of noise in each frame's sub bands, and then marginalizing corrupted channels.
