Abstract(in English) We suggest viewing noisy speech recognition based on Jump Markov State Space model. In this model, noise parameters and state sequences are hidden and estimated by a computational Bayesian approach for parameter estimation. Particularly, the Monte-Carlo particle filters were adopted to estimate time-varying additive noise parameter for model-based noise compensation. Each particle corresponds to a certain state space of noise. The particles randomly transit to new state spaces of noise according to the transition probability given by acoustic models and language models for speech recognition. Higher likelihood particles generate larger number of new particles with newly evolved state space, whereas the lower likelihood particles may be stopped by a selection step. The state space after a particular transition was evolved using an extended Kalman filter. Likelihood of each state space contributes to Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) estimation of the noise parameter from all the particles. Primary experiments on N-Best rescoring are shown in this paper.
