Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In practical speech recognition, it is required to recognize precisely the speech data spoken by many speakers. But it is a difficult problem, because of difference among speakers and phonetic contexts. To this problem, if phonetic information and speaker information included in speech data can be separated and only phonetic information is extracted, robust speaker normalization will be realized. If speaker information included in speech data can be extracted, robust speaker adaptation will be also realized. We have already proposed a speaker verification method by projection to speaker space, under the assumption that a space with large variation of within-speaker is a "phonetic space" and a space with small variation of within-speaker variance is a "speaker space". In this study, we studied a speaker normalization method by projection to phonetic space based on this insight.
