Keywords

speech recognition, speaker recognition, language recognition, keyword spotting, robustness, noise, transmission channels

Abstract

Existing speech signal processing technologies are inadequate for most noisy or degraded speech signals that are important to military intelligence. The Robust Automatic Transcription of Speech (RATS) program is creating algorithms and software for performing the following tasks on potentially speech-containing signals received over communication channels that are extremely noisy and/or highly distorted: Speech Activity Detection, Language Identification, Speaker Identification and Key Word Spotting.
