Abstract

See full text

A computer-implemented method is described for front end speech processing for automatic speech recognition. A sequence of speech features which characterize an unknown speech input is received with a computer process. A first subset of the speech features is normalized with a computer process using a first feature normalizing function. A second subset of the speech features is normalized with a computer process using a second feature normalizing function different from the first feature normalizing function. The normalized speech features in the first and second subsets are combined with a computer process to produce a sequence of mixed normalized speech features for automatic speech recognition.
