Abstract(in English) Exemplar-based feature enhancement by non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) was proposed for noise-robust speech recognition. When we consider only additive noises, we can decompose a noisy speech spectrum into a linear but sparse combination of speech and noise bases. In the conventional NMF, decomposition is unsupervised. If we can give the phoneme sequence of an input utterance to the NMF processing, it is surely possible to realize much more precise decomposition. However, in the task of speech recognition, the phoneme sequence is unknown and unavailable. In this paper, therefore, we introduce unsupervised GMM clustering and classify each input frame by using GMM indexes. For NMF, speech bases are built separately for each GMM index. Experiments show that our proposed method of combining NMF with GMM clustering gives higher robustness of recognizing noisy speech than the original NMF.
