This paper presents a writer independent system for large vocabulary recognition of on-line handwritten cursive words. The system first uses a filtering module, based on simple letter features, to quickly reduce a large reference dictionary (lexicon) to a more manageable size; the reduced lexicon is subsequently fed to a recognition module. The recognition module uses a temporal representation of the input, instead of a static two-dimensional image, thereby preserving the sequential nature of the data and enabling the use of a Time-Delay Neural Network (TDNN); such networks have been previously successful in the continuous speech recognition domain. Explicit segmentation of the input words into characters is avoided by sequentially presenting the input word representation to the neural network-based recognizer. The outputs of the recognition module are collected and converted into a string of characters that is matched against the reduced lexicon using an extended Damerau-Levenshtein function. Trained on 2,443 unconstrained word images (11 k characters) from 55 writers and using a 21 k lexicon we reached a 97.9% and 82.4% top-5 word recognition rate on a writer-dependent and writer-independent test, respectively 相似文献

在语音情感识别研究中,已有基于深度学习的方法大多没有针对语音时频两域的特征进行建模,且存在网络模型训练时间长、识别准确性不高等问题。语谱图是语音信号转换后具有时频两域的特殊图像,为了充分提取语谱图时频两域的情感特征,提出了一种基于参数迁移和卷积循环神经网络的语音情感识别模型。该模型把语谱图作为网络的输入,引入AlexNet网络模型并迁移其预训练的卷积层权重参数,将卷积神经网络输出的特征图重构后输入LSTM(Long Short-Term Memory)网络进行训练。实验结果表明,所提方法加快了网络训练的速度,并提高了情感识别的准确率。 相似文献

In order to determine priorities for the improvement of timing in synthetic speech this study looks at the role of segmental duration prediction and the role of phonological symbolic representation in the perceptual quality of a text-to-speech system. In perception experiments using German speech synthesis, two standard duration models (Klatt rules and CART) were tested. The input to these models consisted of a symbolic representation which was either derived from a database or a text-to-speech system. Results of the perception experiments show that different duration models can only be distinguished when the symbolic representation is appropriate. Considering the relative importance of the symbolic representation, post-lexical segmental rules were investigated with the outcome that listeners differ in their preferences regarding the degree of segmental reduction. As a conclusion, before fine-tuning the duration prediction, it is important to derive an appropriate phonological symbolic representation in order to improve timing in synthetic speech. 相似文献

Automatic recognition of the speech of children is a challenging topic in computer-based speech recognition systems. Conventional feature extraction method namely Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) is not efficient for children's speech recognition. This paper proposes a novel fuzzy-based discriminative feature representation to address the recognition of Malay vowels uttered by children. Considering the age-dependent variational acoustical speech parameters, performance of the automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems degrades in recognition of children's speech. To solve this problem, this study addresses representation of relevant and discriminative features for children's speech recognition. The addressed methods include extraction of MFCC with narrower filter bank followed by a fuzzy-based feature selection method. The proposed feature selection provides relevant, discriminative, and complementary features. For this purpose, conflicting objective functions for measuring the goodness of the features have to be fulfilled. To this end, fuzzy formulation of the problem and fuzzy aggregation of the objectives are used to address uncertainties involved with the problem.The proposed method can diminish the dimensionality without compromising the speech recognition rate. To assess the capability of the proposed method, the study analyzed six Malay vowels from the recording of 360 children, ages 7 to 12. Upon extracting the features, two well-known classification methods, namely, MLP and HMM, were employed for the speech recognition task. Optimal parameter adjustment was performed for each classifier to adapt them for the experiments. The experiments were conducted based on a speaker-independent manner. The proposed method performed better than the conventional MFCC and a number of conventional feature selection methods in the children speech recognition task. The fuzzy-based feature selection allowed the flexible selection of the MFCCs with the best discriminative ability to enhance the difference between the vowel classes. 相似文献

随着自动大规模语音识别的不断发展,以自动语音识别为基础的计算机辅助发音教学也随之进步,作为传统教学方法的补充,它极大地弥补了传统教育资源不足以及传统教育方法无法及时给学习者反馈的缺陷。二语学习者的发音偏误确认和评价在计算机辅助发音训练中是较为重要的研究课题之一。针对二语者发音偏误的确认任务中缺少二语偏误发音标注问题,该文提出了一种基于声学音素向量和孪生网络的方法,将带有配对信息的成对的语音特征作为系统输入,通过神经网络将语音特征映射到高层表示,期望将不同的音素区分开。训练过程引入了孪生网络,依照输出的两个音素向量是否来自于同一类音素来调整和优化输出向量之间的距离,并通过相应的损失函数实现优化过程。结果表明使用基于余弦最大间隔距离损失函数的孪生网络获得了89.93%的准确率,优于实验中其它方法。此方法应用在发音偏误确认任务时,不使用标注的二语发音偏误数据训练的情况下,也获得了89.19%的诊断正确率。 相似文献

This paper presents a new technique to enhance the performance of the input interface of spoken dialogue systems based on a procedure that combines during speech recognition the advantages of using prompt-dependent language models with those of using a language model independent of the prompts generated by the dialogue system. The technique proposes to create a new speech recognizer, termed contextual speech recognizer, that uses a prompt-independent language model to allow recognizing any kind of sentence permitted in the application domain, and at the same time, uses contextual information (in the form of prompt-dependent language models) to take into account that some sentences are more likely to be uttered than others at a particular moment of the dialogue. The experiments show the technique allows enhancing clearly the performance of the input interface of a previously developed dialogue system based exclusively on prompt-dependent language models. But most important, in comparison with a standard speech recognizer that uses just one prompt-independent language model without contextual information, the proposed recognizer allows increasing the word accuracy and sentence understanding rates by 4.09% and 4.19% absolute, respectively. These scores are slightly better than those obtained using linear interpolation of the prompt-independent and prompt-dependent language models used in the experiments. 相似文献

Some applications of speech recognition, such as automatic directory information services, require very large vocabularies. In this paper, we focus on the task of recognizing surnames in an Interactive telephone-based Directory Assistance Services (IDAS) system, which supersedes other large vocabulary applications in terms of complexity and vocabulary size. We present a method for building compact networks in order to reduce the search space in very large vocabularies using Directed Acyclic Word Graphs (DAWGs). Furthermore, trees, graphs and full-forms (whole words with no merging of nodes) are compared in a straightforward way under the same conditions, using the same decoder and the same vocabularies. Experimental results showed that, as we move from full-form lexicons to trees and then to graphs, the size of the recognition network is reduced, as is the recognition time. However, recognition accuracy is retained since the same phoneme combinations are involved. Subsequently, we refine the N-best hypotheses' list provided by the speech recognizer by applying context-dependent phonological rules. Thus, a small number N in the N-best hypotheses' list produces multiple solutions sufficient to retain high accuracy and at the same time achieve real-time response. Recognition tests with a vocabulary of 88,000 surnames that correspond to 123,313 distinct pronunciations proved the efficiency of the approach. For N = 3 (a value that ensures we have fast performance), before the application of rules the recognition accuracy was 70.27%. After applying phonological rules the recognition performance rose to 86.75%. 相似文献

This paper proposes a novel method based on Spectral Regression (SR) for efficient scene recognition. First, a new SR approach, called Extended Spectral Regression (ESR), is proposed to perform manifold learning on a huge number of data samples. Then, an efficient Bag-of-Words (BOW) based method is developed which employs ESR to encapsulate local visual features with their semantic, spatial, scale, and orientation information for scene recognition. In many applications, such as image classification and multimedia analysis, there are a huge number of low-level feature samples in a training set. It prohibits direct application of SR to perform manifold learning on such dataset. In ESR, we first group the samples into tiny clusters, and then devise an approach to reduce the size of the similarity matrix for graph learning. In this way, the subspace learning on graph Laplacian for a vast dataset is computationally feasible on a personal computer. In the ESR-based scene recognition, we first propose an enhanced low-level feature representation which combines the scale, orientation, spatial position, and local appearance of a local feature. Then, ESR is applied to embed enhanced low-level image features. The ESR-based feature embedding not only generates a low dimension feature representation but also integrates various aspects of low-level features into the compact representation. The bag-of-words is then generated from the embedded features for image classification. The comparative experiments on open benchmark datasets for scene recognition demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms baseline approaches. It is suitable for real-time applications on mobile platforms, e.g. tablets and smart phones. 相似文献

Subjects recalled items from short‐term memory by speaking into a speech recognizer. Two experiments examined effects of the type of feedback provided by the device during this data entry task. Three types of feedback were compared, varying in: modality, either auditory or visual; timing, either concurrent or terminal, and specificity, either verbal or nonverbal. Recognizer performance was better with concurrent feedback than with terminal feedback and better with nonverbal feedback than with verbal feedback. In terms of the efficiency of memory (the number of errors and the rate of data throughput), performance was more impaired by concurrent verbal feedback than by nonverbal feedback. Two main functional features of feedback in automatic speech recognition were identified: (1) the degree of similarity between the feedback and the phonologically‐coded information held in short‐term memory, which pointed to the dangers of spoken feedback and to a lesser extent the use of verbal visual feedback, and (2) the extent to which prompting is required to establish the timeliness of data input, a feature which is especially important with isolated‐word speech recognition. 相似文献

A conventional approach to noise robust speech recognition consists of employing a speech enhancement pre-processor prior to recognition. However, such a pre-processor usually introduces artifacts that limit recognition performance improvement. In this paper we discuss a framework for improving the interconnection between speech enhancement pre-processors and a recognizer. The framework relies on recent proposals for increasing robustness by replacing the point estimate of the enhanced features with a distribution with a dynamic (i.e. time varying) feature variance. We have recently proposed a model for the dynamic feature variance consisting of a dynamic feature variance root obtained from the pre-processor, which is multiplied by a weight representing the pre-processor uncertainty, and that uses adaptation data to optimize the pre-processor uncertainty weight. The formulation of the method is general and could be used with any speech enhancement pre-processor. However, we observed that in case of noise reduction based on spectral subtraction or related approaches, adaptation could fail because the proposed model is weak at representing well the actual dynamic feature variance. The dynamic feature variance changes according to the level of speech sound, which varies with the HMM states. Therefore, we propose improving the model by introducing HMM state dependency. We achieve this by using a cluster-based representation, i.e. the Gaussians of the acoustic model are grouped into clusters and a different pre-processor uncertainty weight is associated with each cluster. Experiments with various pre-processors and recognition tasks prove the generality of the proposed integration scheme and show that the proposed extension improves the performance with various speech enhancement pre-processors. 相似文献

In this paper we demonstrate the use of prosody models for developing speech systems in Indian languages. Duration and intonation
models developed using feedforward neural networks are considered as prosody models. Labelled broadcast news data in the languages
Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada is used for developing the neural network models for predicting the duration and intonation.
The features representing the positional, contextual and phonological constraints are used for developing the prosody models.
In this paper, the use of prosody models is illustrated using speech recognition, speech synthesis, speaker recognition and
language identification applications. Autoassociative neural networks and support vector machines are used as classification
models for developing the speech systems. The performance of the speech systems has shown to be improved by combining the
prosodic features along with one popular spectral feature set consisting of Weighted Linear Prediction Cepstral Coefficients

目的 基于深度学习的多聚焦图像融合方法主要是利用卷积神经网络(convolutional neural network,CNN)将像素分类为聚焦与散焦。监督学习过程常使用人造数据集,标签数据的精确度直接影响了分类精确度,从而影响后续手工设计融合规则的准确度与全聚焦图像的融合效果。为了使融合网络可以自适应地调整融合规则,提出了一种基于自学习融合规则的多聚焦图像融合算法。 方法 采用自编码网络架构,提取特征,同时学习融合规则和重构规则,以实现无监督的端到端融合网络;将多聚焦图像的初始决策图作为先验输入,学习图像丰富的细节信息;在损失函数中加入局部策略,包含结构相似度(structural similarity index measure,SSIM)和均方误差(mean squared error,MSE),以确保更加准确地还原图像。 结果 在Lytro等公开数据集上从主观和客观角度对本文模型进行评价,以验证融合算法设计的合理性。从主观评价来看,模型不仅可以较好地融合聚焦区域,有效避免融合图像中出现伪影,而且能够保留足够的细节信息,视觉效果自然清晰;从客观评价来看,通过将模型融合的图像与其他主流多聚焦图像融合算法的融合图像进行量化比较,在熵、 Qw、相关系数和视觉信息保真度上的平均精度均为最优,分别为7.457 4,0.917 7,0.978 8和0.890 8。 结论 提出了一种用于多聚焦图像的融合算法,不仅能够对融合规则进行自学习、调整,并且融合图像效果可与现有方法媲美,有助于进一步理解基于深度学习的多聚焦图像融合机制。 相似文献

In contrast to speech recognition, whose speech features have been extensively explored in the research literature, feature extraction in Sign Language Recognition (SLR) is still a very challenging problem. In this paper we present a methodology for feature extraction in Brazilian Sign Language (BSL, or LIBRAS in Portuguese) that explores the phonological structure of the language and relies on RGB-D sensor for obtaining intensity, position and depth data. From the RGB-D images we obtain seven vision-based features. Each feature is related to one, two or three structural elements in BSL. We investigate this relation between extracted features and structural elements based on shape, movement and position of the hands. Finally we employ Support Vector Machines (SVM) to classify signs based on these features and linguistic elements. The experiments show that the attributes of these elements can be successfully recognized in terms of the features obtained from the RGB-D images, with accuracy results individually above 80% on average. The proposed feature extraction methodology and the decomposition of the signs into their phonological structure is a promising method to help expert systems designed for SLR. 相似文献

This paper proposes a speaker recognition system using acoustic features that are based on spectral-temporal receptive fields (STRFs). The STRF is derived from physiological models of the mammalian auditory system in the spectral-temporal domain. With the STRF, a signal is expressed by rate (in Hz) and scale (in cycles/octaves). The rate and scale are used to specify the temporal response and spectral response, respectively. This paper uses the proposed STRF based feature to perform speaker recognition. First, the energy of each scale is calculated using the STRF representation. A logarithmic operation is then applied to the scale energies. Finally, a discrete cosine transform is utilized to the generation of the proposed STRF feature. This paper also presents a feature set that combines the proposed STRF feature with conventional Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). The support vector machines (SVMs) are adopted to be the speaker classifiers. To evaluate the performance of the proposed speaker recognition system, experiments on 36-speaker recognition were conducted. Comparing with the MFCC baseline, the proposed feature set increases the speaker recognition rates by 3.85 % and 18.49 % on clean and noisy speeches, respectively. The experiments results demonstrate the effectiveness of adopting STRF based feature in speaker recognition. 相似文献
