Abstract(in English) In this paper, we applied convolutional denoising autoencoder (CDAE) as the prefilter of voice recognition and evaluated recognition accuracy of under the noise environoment such as BGM/environmental sound. To improve the voice recognition accuracy under the noise environment, prefilter requires not only noise reduction but also speech feature restoration. We trained CDAE which is the model that the noise signal converts into the speech signal. And, for restoration of speech features, we applied U-Net structure which connects same layer of multiple stacked autoencoder. Furthermore, considering further improvement of speech features, generative adversarial networks (GAN) are added to the model. We evaluated the voice recognition accuracy under the noise environment using prefilter that trained the voice of 20 people and 5 patterns of BGM/environmental sound. In the result, we confirmed that the speech recognition accuracy improved more than 10 points under the SNR 10dB.
