Abstract

Recently, a new method for sub-band based ASR has been introduced which approximates the ideal 'full combination' (FC) approach. We show how this ideal approach can be set up as a nonlinear combination function and how it can be approximated by estimating the posteriors for each combination as a function of the posteriors from the individual sub-bands alone [Hagen98:SBS,Morris99:TFC]. Sub-band based ASR is especially promising in stationary and time-varying band-limited noise as long as the remaining clean sub-bands supply sufficiently reliable information. For the first time, experiments will be presented which compare the FC approach and its approximation on these noise characteristics. They were carried out on PLP [Hermansky90:PLP] and J-RASTA-PLP [Hermansky94:RPO] features in the framework of HMM/ANN Hybrid systems.

Noise music

Noise music is a genre of music that is characterised by the expressive use of noise. This type of music tends to challenge the distinction that is made in conventional musical practices between musical and non-musical sound. Noise music includes a wide range of musical styles and sound-based creative practices that feature noise as a primary aspect. Noise music can feature acoustically or electronically generated noise, and both traditional and unconventional musical instruments.

Noise reduction

Noise reduction is the process of removing noise from a signal. Noise reduction techniques exist for audio and images. Noise reduction algorithms may distort the signal to some degree. Noise rejection is the ability of a circuit to isolate an undesired signal component from the desired signal component, as with common-mode rejection ratio. All signal processing devices, both analog and digital, have traits that make them susceptible to noise.

White noise

In signal processing, white noise is a random signal having equal intensity at different frequencies, giving it a constant power spectral density. The term is used, with this or similar meanings, in many scientific and technical disciplines, including physics, acoustical engineering, telecommunications, and statistical forecasting. White noise refers to a statistical model for signals and signal sources, rather than to any specific signal.
