Abstract
- When the linear prediction coefficients (LPC) are used as a feature parameter of speech, a problem in speech recognition is the variation of LPC due to the difference of the speaker and the effect of the preceding or succeeding utterances. Because of this variation, LPC is distributed in a certain region in the LPC space. This paper proposes a method which approximated the region of distribution by a linear manifold model described in [1], and recognizes the category permitting the variation of LPC. The method is applied to the vowel recognition of CV syllable, and its usefulness is verified experimentally. It is shown first by spectrum analysis experiment that the linear manifold model is useful in the approximation of the variation of the vowel spectrum due to the preceding consonant. Second, a recognition experiment is carried out based on the model, and it is shown that the recognition rate can be improved by a simple model of linear manifold which is suited to computation.
