author = {Garner, Philip N.},
projects = {IM2},
month = oct,
title = {Cepstral normalisation and the signal to noise ratio spectrum in automatic speech recognition},
journal = {Speech Communication},
volume = {53},
number = {8},
year = {2011},
pages = {991--1001},
doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.specom.2011.05.007},
crossref = {Garner_Idiap-RR-15-2011},
abstract = {Cepstral normalisation in automatic speech recognition is
investigated in the context of robustness to additive noise. In
this paper, it is argued that such normalisation leads naturally to
a speech feature based on signal to noise ratio rather than absolute
energy (or power). Explicit calculation of this SNR-cepstrum
by means of a noise estimate is shown to have theoretical and
practical advantages over the usual (energy based) cepstrum. The
relationship between the SNR-cepstrum and the articulation index,
known in psycho-acoustics, is discussed. Experiments are presented
suggesting that the combination of the SNR-cepstrum with the well
known perceptual linear prediction method can be beneficial in noisy
environments.},
