Complex Frequency Domain Linear Prediction: A Tool To Compute Modulation Spectrum Of Speech

Abstract

Conventional Frequency Domain Linear Prediction (FDLP) technique models the squared Hilbert envelope of speech with varied degrees of approximation which can be sampled at the required frame rate and used as features for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). Although previously the complex cepstrum of the conventional FDLP model has been used as compact frame-wise speech features, it has lacked interpretability in the context of the Hilbert envelope. In this paper, we propose a modification of the conventional FDLP model that allows easy interpretability of the complex cepstrum as temporal modulations in an all-pole model approximation of the power of the speech signal. Additionally, our "complex" FDLP yields significant speed-ups in comparison to conventional FDLP for the same degree of approximation.
