1999
Journal of the Acoustical Society of Japan (E)
Preserved Fulltext
SSCs are computed as frequency centroids for each subband from the power spectrum of the speech signal. ...
Experimental results on spontaneous speech recognition show that the speaker normalized SSCs are more useful as supplementary features for improving the recognition performance than the conventional SSCs ...
