Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we propose a new framework of non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) applied to segmental speech for spectrogram compression in STRAIGHT. Non-negative matrix factorization is a matrix decomposition method using non-negative constraints, and it is possible to extract various characteristic features as the form of decomposed matrix by controlling the initial values and the constraints of optimization measures. If an NMF is applied to a whole sentence, higher levels of some specific phoneme spectra would be involuntarily biased. In this case, although the higher-level spectra can be well approximated, the lower-level spectra may not be well approximated. The proposed method performs NMF based on the characteristics of speech segments. It is shown that the obtained spectrogram model provides better basis spectra for each cluster than normal NMF and mel-cepstral representations.
