HIWIRE MEETINGTrento, January 11-12, 2007 José C. Segura, Javier Ramírez
Schedule • PEQ • HAFE • IS07 setup • New improvements in robust VAD • Revised multiple observation LRT (MO-LRT) • Improve noise reduction and frame-dropping
PEQ • Evaluation • AURORA2, AURORA3, AURORA4 • Compared to HEQ • PEQ shows better performance on all databases • Results using Loquendo recognizer • Improved results • Slight degradation on clean conditions
HAFE • In collaboration with TUC-NTUA • Released two C modules, integrated in HAFE V1.0 • Basic Analysis • VAD (LTSD) • Wiener filter (optional) • Output: WAV / MFCC / FB • Post-Processing • PEQ (optional) • Regression computation (optional) • Frame-Dropping (optional) • CMS /CMVN (optional)
IS07 setup • Prepared an HTK setup for evaluation on the HIWIRE database • Training scripts based on LORIA ones • Test scripts include MLLR adaptation with variable number of utterances • Baseline results • Only for clean data • With and without adaptation
A review of MO-LRT VAD • Multiple observation likelihood ratio test: • Given 2N+1 independent observations of the noisy speech • Hypothesis test: • G0 : All the observations in the buffer are non-speech • G1 : “ “ “ noisy speech • Gaussian model: where
Revised MO-LRT • Given 2N+1 independent observations of the noisy speech: • All the possible hypothesis on the individual observations: hk= 0 : xk = n hk= 1 : xk = s + n • Hypothesis subsets
Revised MO-LRT • We assume that just a single speech to non-speech or non-speech to speech transition can occur in h
ROC curves in quiet noise conditions (stopped car and engine running) and close talking microphone.
ROC curves in high noise conditions (high speed over a good road) and distant talking microphone.
