| Abstract(in English) | Conventional speaker-independent HMMs ignore the speaker differences and collect speech data in an observation space. This causes a problem that the output probability distribution of the HMMs becomes vague so that, it deteriorates the recognition accuracy. To solve this problem, we construct the speaker subspace for an individual speaker and correlate them by o-space canonical correlation analysis between the standard speaker and input speaker. In order to remove the constraint that input speakers have to speak the same sentences as the standard speaker in the supervised normalization, we propose in this paper an unsupervised speaker normalization method which automatically segments the speech data into phoneme data by Viterbi decoding algorithm and then associates the mean feature vectors of phoneme data between speakers by o-space canonical correlation analysis. |
