Abstract

In this paper DNN paradigm was successfully used for design of modulation frequency FIR filters. This technique optimized the whole process of deriving posterior probabilities of speech sound classes
(three-state phonemes).

Annotation

We propose a novel approach to design modulation frequency filters for the first stage processing of critical band spectrum of speech using deep neural network (DNN). These filters replace conventional modulation frequency filters currently used in state-of-the-art BUT speech recognition system and yield about 10% relative improvement in phoneme recognition accuracy. The resulting filters are consistent with some known temporal properties of higher levels of mammalian auditory processing and suggest more efficient scheme for pre-processing of speech for ASR.
