Phone-dependent channel compensated hidden Markov model for telephone speech recognition

In this letter, we propose the phone-dependent channel compensated hidden Markov model (PDCC-HMM) for telephone speech recognition. The PDCC-HMM is derived by modifying the conventional hidden Markov model (HMM) with the phone-dependent channel compensation vectors. The telephone speech is recognized efficiently by using the derived PDCC-HMM. Experiments demonstrate the robustness of PDCC-HMM in speech recognition and show the significant reduction of recognition error rate by 50% as comparing to the conventional HMM method.
