Abstract
Improving the robustness of speech recognition systems to cope with adverse background noise is a challenging research topic. Extraction of noise robust acoustic features is one of the prominent methods used for incorporating robustness in speech recognition systems. Prior studies have proposed several perceptually motivated noise robust acoustic features, and the normalized modulation cepstral coefficient (NMCC) is one such feature which uses amplitude modulation estimates to create cepstrum-like parameters. Studies have shown that articulatory features in combination with traditional mel-cepstral features help to improve robustness of speech recognition systems in noisy conditions. This paper shows that fusion of multiple noise robust feature streams ……
