Abstract(in English) In reverberant environment, speech recognition accuracy is seriously degraded. An effective method is to train acoustic models using reverberant speech which are generated from clean speech data and reverberant impulse response. It is not clear, however, what kind of impulse response is suitable for environmental variations. In this research, we show the range of reverberant time that changes speech recognition accuracy drastically through evaluation with CENSREC-4. Then we point out that the range of reverberant time which is effective for model training is shorter than that of test conditions. We also show the multi-condition training is effective for speech recognition under unknown environments using speech data of the range of reverberant time we showed.
