Phaseperturbation: Speech Data Augmentation Via Phase Perturbation For Automatic Speech Recognition

Abstract

Most of the current speech data augmentation methods operate on either the raw waveform or the amplitude spectrum of speech. In this paper, we propose a novel speech data augmentation method called PhasePerturbation that operates dynamically on the phase spectrum of speech. Instead of statically rotating a phase by a constant degree, PhasePerturbation utilizes three dynamic phase spectrum operations, i.e., a randomization operation, a frequency masking operation, and a temporal masking operation, to enhance the diversity of speech data. We conduct experiments on wav2vec2.0 pre-trained ASR models by fine-tuning them with the PhasePerturbation augmented TIMIT corpus. The experimental results demonstrate 10.9% relative reduction in the word error rate (WER) compared with the baseline model fine-tuned without any augmentation operation. Furthermore, the proposed method achieves additional improvements (12.9% and 15.9%) in WER by complementing the Vocal Tract Length Perturbation (VTLP) and
