| Abstract(in English) | This paper proposes imitated word models that represent non-verbal sounds, especially cough sounds here, as phoneme sequences. In conventional speech recognition systems, non-verbal sounds, so-called human noises, are processed as burden noises that cause mis-recognition. Non-verbal sounds are, however, important information to know user's physical and psychological condition. In particular, coughing is one of the most important barometers of daily health check, so we propose an approach to detect the cough sounds from user utterances using the imitated word models constructed by clustering of phoneme sequences obtained in phoneme recognition. The experimental results show that this approach can improve the correct rates and the accuracies for words and coughs compared with the approach using HMM constructed from cough waveforms. |
