The key approaches taken are: (a) use no additional data (i.e. use only speakers data, no data for noise) for training and (b) no adaptation phase for noise. Instead of making adaptation in the recognition, preprocessing or both stages, we make a noise tolerant (rejection) speech recognition system where the system tries to reject noise automatically because of its inherent structure. We call our approach a noise rejection-based approach. Noise rejection is achieved by using multiple views and dynamic features of the input sequences. Multiple views exploit more information from the available data that is used for training multiple HMMs (Hidden Markov Models). This makes the training process simpler, faster and avoids the need to use a noise database, which is often difficult to obtain. The dynamic features (added to the HMM using vector emission probabilities) add more information about the input speech during training. Since the values of dynamic features of noise are usually much smaller than that of the speech signal, it helps reject the noise during recognition. Multiple views (we also call these scrambles) can be used at different stages in the recognition processes. This paper explore these possibilities. Also, multiple views of the input sequence are applied to multiple HMMs during recognition and the outcome of the multiple HMMs are combined using maximum evidence criterion. The accuracy of the noise rejection-based approach is further improved by using Higher Level Decision Making (HLD) - our method for data fusion. HLD improves accuracy by efficiently resolving conflicts. The key approaches taken for HLD are: meta reasoning, single cycle training (SCT), confidence factors and view minimization. Our tests show very encouraging results. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218213099000051","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,22]],"date-time":"2003-04-22T07:42:22Z","timestamp":1050997342000},"page":"53-71","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["ROBUST SPEECH RECOGNITION USING A NOISE REJECTION APPROACH"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"08","author":[{"given":"EMDAD","family":"KHAN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internet Speech, San Jose, California, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ROBERT","family":"LEVINSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CS Dept., UC Santa Cruz, California, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"p_3","first-page":"849","author":"Acero A.","year":"1990","journal-title":"IEEE International Confer ence on Acoustic, Speech and Signal Processing, ICASSP"},{"key":"p_4","first-page":"684","volume":"95","author":"Ahadi M","journal-title":"ICASSP"},{"key":"p_5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1162\/neco.1994.6.2.307"},{"key":"p_6","first-page":"69","author":"Berouti M.","year":"1983","journal-title":"Speech Enhance ment, J.S Lim, ed., Prentice Hall"},{"key":"p_7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TASSP.1979.1163188"},{"key":"p_8","first-page":"186","volume":"2","author":"Bourlard H.","journal-title":"NIPS"},{"key":"p_11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TASSP.1986.1164788"},{"key":"p_13","first-page":"1","volume":"92","author":"Gales F","journal-title":"ICASSP"},{"key":"p_14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0167-6393(93)90093-Z"},{"key":"p_15","first-page":"133","volume":"95","author":"Gales F","journal-title":"ICASSP"},{"key":"p_18","first-page":"810","volume":"2","author":"Khan E.","journal-title":"Proc. of the Int. conf. on Multisource-Multisensor Information Fusion (FUSION98)"},{"key":"p_21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/29.46548"},{"key":"p_22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/89.221371"},{"key":"p_23","first-page":"129","volume":"95","author":"Minami Y.","journal-title":"ICASSP"},{"key":"p_24","first-page":"145","volume":"95","author":"Moon S.","journal-title":"ICASSP"},{"key":"p_26","first-page":"57","author":"Nakamura S.","year":"1990","journal-title":"ICASSP"},{"key":"p_27","first-page":"141","author":"Neumeyer L.","year":"1995","journal-title":"ICASSP"},{"key":"p_28","first-page":"417","author":"Niles L.","year":"1990","journal-title":"ICASP"},{"key":"p_32","first-page":"49","volume":"95","author":"Takagi K.","journal-title":"ICASSP"},{"key":"p_33","first-page":"553","volume":"1988","author":"Waibel A.","journal-title":"ICASSP"},{"key":"p_35","first-page":"845","author":"Varga P","year":"1990","journal-title":"ICASSP"}],"container-title":["International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1142\/S0218213099000051","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,7]],"date-time":"2019-08-07T13:46:03Z","timestamp":1565185563000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1142\/S0218213099000051"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1999,3]]},"references-count":21,"journal-issue":{"issue":"01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,21]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[1999,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1142\/S0218213099000051"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1142\/s0218213099000051","relation":{},"ISSN":["0218-2130","1793-6349"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0218-2130","type":"print"},{"value":"1793-6349","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1999,3]]}}}
