Robust vocabulary recognition clustering model using an average estimator least mean square filter in noisy environments

Noise estimation and detection algorithms must adapt to a changing environment quickly, so they use a least mean square (LMS) filter. However, there is a downside. An LMS filter is very low, and it consequently lowers speech recognition rates. In order to overcome such a weak point, we propose a method to establish a robust speech recognition clustering model for noisy environments. Since this proposed method allows the cancelation of noise with an average estimator least mean square (AELMS) filter in a noisy environment, a robust speech recognition clustering model can be established. With the AELMS filter, which can preserve source features of speech and decrease the degradation of speech information, noise in a contaminated speech signal gets canceled, and a Gaussian state model is clustered as a method to make noise more robust. By composing a Gaussian clustering model, which is a robust speech recognition clustering model, in a noisy environment, recognition performance was evaluated. The study shows that the signal-to-noise ratio of speech, which was improved by canceling environment noise that kept changing, was enhanced by 2.8 dB on average, and recognition rate improved by 4.1 %.
