20130185067 | NOISE REDUCTION METHOD. PROGRAM PRODUCT AND APPARATUS - A probability model represented as the product of the probability distribution of a mismatch vector g (or clean speech x) with an observed value y as a factor and the probability distribution of a mismatch vector g (or clean speech x) with a confidence index β for each band as a factor, executes MMSE estimation on the probability model, and estimates a clean speech estimated value x̂. As a result, each band influences the result of MMSE estimation, with a degree of contribution in accordance with the level of its confidence. Further, the higher the S/N ratio of observation speech, the more the output value becomes shifted to the observed value. As a result, the output of a front-end is optimized. | 07-18-2013 |

20130096915 | System and Method for Dynamic Noise Adaptation for Robust Automatic Speech Recognition - A speech processing method and arrangement are described. A dynamic noise adaptation (DNA) model characterizes a speech input reflecting effects of background noise. A null noise DNA model characterizes the speech input based on reflecting a null noise mismatch condition. A DNA interaction model performs Bayesian model selection and re-weighting of the DNA model and the null noise DNA model to realize a modified DNA model characterizing the speech input for automatic speech recognition and compensating for noise to a varying degree depending on relative probabilities of the DNA model and the null noise DNA model. | 04-18-2013 |
20140257809 | SPARSE MAXIMUM A POSTERIORI (MAP) ADAPTION - Techniques disclosed herein include using a Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) adaptation process that imposes sparseness constraints to generate acoustic parameter adaptation data for specific users based on a relatively small set of training data. The resulting acoustic parameter adaptation data identifies changes for a relatively small fraction of acoustic parameters from a baseline acoustic speech model instead of changes to all acoustic parameters. This results in user-specific acoustic parameter adaptation data that is several orders of magnitude smaller than storage amounts otherwise required for a complete acoustic model. This provides customized acoustic speech models that increase recognition accuracy at a fraction of expected data storage requirements. | 09-11-2014 |
