Analyzing Large Receptive Field Convolutional Networks For Distant Speech Recognition

Abstract

Despite significant efforts over the last few years to build a robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for different acoustic settings, the performance of the current state-of-the-art technologies significantly degrades in noisy reverberant environments. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been successfully used to achieve substantial improvements in many speech processing applications including distant speech recognition (DSR). However, standard CNN architectures were not efficient in capturing long-term speech dynamics, which are essential in the design of a robust DSR system. In the present study, we address this issue by investigating variants of large receptive field CNNs (LRF-CNNs) which include deeply recursive networks, dilated convolutional neural networks, and stacked hourglass networks. To compare the efficacy of the aforementioned architectures with the standard CNN for Wall Street Journal (WSJ) corpus, we use a hybrid DNN-HMM based speech recognition syste
