Professor B: I I really would like to suggest looking a little bit at the kinds of errors I know you can get lost in that and go forever and not see too much but sometimes but but just seeing that each of these things did not make things better may not be enough It may be that they are making them better in some ways and worse in others or increasing insertions and decreasing deletions or or you know helping with noisy case but hurting in quiet case And if you saw that then maybe you it would something would occur to you of how to deal with that
PhD C: Alright Mmm W So that s it I think for the on line normalization I ve been playing a little bit with some kind of thresholding and mmm as a first experiment I think I Well what I did is t is to take to measure the average no the maximum energy of s each utterance and then put a threshold Well this for each mel band Then put a threshold that s fifteen DB below well a couple of DB below this maximum and Actually it was not a threshold it was just adding noise So I was adding a white noise energy that s fifteen DB below the maximum energy of the utterance And When we look at at the MFCC that result from this they are pause a lot more smoother when we compare like a channel zero and channel one utterance so a clean and the same noisy utterance well there is almost no difference between the cepstral coefficients of the two And And the result that we have in term of speech recognition actually it s not it s not worse it s not better neither but it s kind of surprising that it s not worse because basically you add noise that s fifteen DB just fifteen DB below pause the maximum energy
PhD F: So why does that m pause smooth things out ? I do not I do not understand that
Professor B: Well there s less difference Right ?
PhD C: It s I think it s whitening This the portion that are more silent as you add a white noise that are has a very high energy it whitens everything and and the high energy portion of the speech do not get much affected anyway by the other noise And as the noise you add is the same is pause the shape it s also the same So they have the trajectory are very very similar And and
Professor B: So I mean again if you trained in one kind of noise and tested in the same kind of noise you would you know given enough training data you do not do b do badly The reason that we d that we have the problems we have is because pause it s different in training and test Even if the general kind is the same the exact instances are different And and so when you whiten it then it s like you the the only noise to to first order the only th noise that you have is white noise and you ve added the same thing to training and test
PhD F: So would that pause be similar to like doing the smoothing then over time or ?
Professor B: Well it s a kind of smoothing
PhD C: I think it s I think it s different It s it s something that that affects more or less the silence portions because Well anyway the sp the portion of speech that ha have high energy are not ch a lot affected by the noises in the Aurora database If if you compare th the two shut channels of SpeechDat Car during speech portion it s n n n the MFCC are not very different They are very different when energy s lower like during fricatives or during speech pauses And
Professor B: but you are still getting more recognition errors which means that the differences even though they look like they are not so big are are hurting your recognition | The professor suggested delving deep into the different types of errors in the difference between silence and speech means. He thought that training and testing in the same kind of white noise would be an effective strategy. In his opinion, the differences were hurting the recognition, even though they were not too big. |

Grad E: Now and this concept to speech module has pause certain rules on how pause if you get the following syntactic structure how to map this onto prosodic rules And Fey has foolheartedly agreed to rewrite the German concept syntax to prosody rules
Grad B: I did not know she spoke German Oh Rewrite the German ones into English OK got it
Grad E: Into English And therefore pause the if it s OK that we give her a couple of more hours per week then pause she will do that
Grad D: What pause language is that pause written i Is that that Scheme thing that you showed me ?
Grad E: That s the LISP type scheme
Grad D: She knows how to program in Scheme ? I hope ?
Grad E: No I My guess is I I asked for a commented version of that file ? If we get that then it s pause doable even without getting into it even though the Scheme li stuff is really well documented in the pause Festival
Grad D: Well I guess if you are not used to functional programming Scheme can be completely incomprehensible Cuz there s no Like pause there s lots of unnamed functions
Professor C: Anyway it We will sort this out But anyway send me the note and then I will I will check with Morgan on the money I I do not anticipate any problem but we have to pause ask Oh so this was nonvocalsound You know on the generation thing if comment sh y she s really going to do that then we should be able to get prosody as well So it will say it s nonsense with perfect intonation
Grad D: Are we going to Can we change the voice of the of the thing because right now the voice sounds like a murderer
Grad E: Yep We ha we have to change the voice
Grad D: The the little Smarticus Smarticus sounds like a murderer | As the translation of the german SmartKom into English moves on, the generation rules may prove difficult to tackle for someone without experience in functional programming, as they are written in LISP. |
