Speech enhancement with LSTM recurrent neural networks and its application to noise-robust ASR
Résumé
We evaluate some recent developments in recurrent neural network (RNN) based speech enhancement in the light of noise-robust automatic speech recognition (ASR). The proposed framework is based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) RNNs which are discriminatively trained according to an optimal speech reconstruction objective. We demonstrate that LSTM speech enhancement, even when used ' na¨vely ' as front-end processing, delivers competitive results on the CHiME-2 speech recognition task. Furthermore, simple, feature-level fusion based extensions to the framework are proposed to improve the integration with the ASR back-end. These yield a best result of 13.76 % average word error rate, which is, to our knowledge, the best score to date.
