Model Adaptation via MAP for Speech Recognition in Noisy Environments

Abstract

The accuracy of speech recognition systems degrades severely when operating in noisy environments, mainly due to the mismatch between training and testing environmental conditions. The use of noise corrupted training utterances is being used with success in many works. However, as the type and intensity of the noise at operation time is unpredictable, the present work proposes a step beyond: the use of the MAP method to use samples of the actual audio signal that is being processed to adapt such systems to the real noise condition. Experimental results show an increase of almost 2% on average in the recognition rates, when compared to systems trained with noisy utterances.
