Abstract
En 中文
The most widely used speech representation is based on the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, which incorporates biologically inspired characteristics into artificial recognizers. However, the recognition performance with these features can still be enhanced, specially in adverse conditions. Recent advances have been made with the introduction of wavelet based representations for different kinds of signals, which have shown to improve the classification performance. However, the problem of finding an adequate wavelet based representation for a particular problem is still an important challenge. In this work we propose a genetic algorithm to evolve a speech representation, based on a non-orthogonal wavelet decomposition, for phoneme classification. The results, obtained for a set of spanish phonemes, show that the proposed genetic algorithm is able to find a representation that improves speech recognition results. Moreover, the optimized representation was evaluated in noise conditions. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
