Abstract

The performance of speech recognition is degraded by the mismatch between training and test environments. Many methods have been presented to compensate for additive noise and channel effect in the cepstral domain, and Cepstral Mean Subtraction (CMS) is the representative method among them. Recently, high order cepstral moment normalization method has introduced to improve recognition accuracy. In this paper, we apply high order moment normalization method and smoothing filter for real-time processing. In experiments using Aurora2 DB, we obtained error rate reduction of 49.7% with the proposed algorithm in comparison with baseline system.
