Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Linear prediction (LP) is a mathematical operation estimating an all-pole spectrum from the speechsignal. It is an essential methodology in speech coding since LP coefficients can be determined using a smallamount of computation and quantized efficiently using vector quantization (VQ). l2-norm regularized LP (RLP) and context-aware time-regularized LP (TRLP) analysis have been proposed and shown to improve performance. The former one suppresses rapid spectral changes in the frequency domain and the latter one suppresses the rapidspectral changes in the time domain. In our previous study, we proposed the MMSE-based time-varying complexAR (TV-CAR) speech analysis that is the complex and time-varying version of the LP and recently offered theRLP-based TV-CAR analysis. In this paper, we propose the novel l2-norm regularized TV-CAR analysis based onnot only the TRLP but also the RLP, and the objective evaluation using F0 estimation applied with the estimatedcomplex residual signals shows that the proposed method performs best.
