The greater design freedom available makes possible the construction of wavelets with a high degree of smoothness, in comparison with orthonormal wavelet bases. Grobner bases are used to obtain the solutions to the nonlinear design equations. Following the dual-tree DWT of Kingsbury (see Proceedings of the Eighth IEEE DSP Workshop, Utah, 1998, and Proc. IEEE Int. Conf. Acoust., Speech, Signal Processing (ICASSP), Phoenix, 1999), one goal is to keep the redundancy-factor bounded by 2, instead of allowing it to grow as it does for the undecimated DWT (which is exactly shift-invariant). For the tight frame presented here, optimal-tree based denoising algorithms can be directly applied.","PeriodicalId":164817,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing.

The described technique splits the telephone-band speech signal into a spectral envelope and a short-term residual. The spectral envelope and the residual are extended separately and recombined to create an extended band signal.

Simulations show that the proposed algorithms non-stationary DD and non-stationary CMA present better tracking capacity than the classical ones. Hence, they are able to improve the bit error rate especially for severe propagation conditions.","PeriodicalId":164817,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing.

Starting from a baseline system where multiple pronunciations are treated as word copies without priors, an extension of the usual Viterbi decoding is presented which integrates unigram priors in a weighted sum of acoustic probabilities. Several approximations are discussed leading to new decoding aspects. Experimental results are presented for US broadcast news recordings. It is shown that the use of unigram priors has a clear positive impact on both error rate and decoding cost while the sum over multiple pronunciation contributions brings another small improvement. An overall 4% reduction of the error rate is achieved on the HUB-4 evaluation sets of 97 and 98.","PeriodicalId":164817,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing.

At the same time this approach allows the easy introduction of context dependent models in the hybrid framework. The approach is based on a standard hybrid connectionist/HMM recognizer, in which the neural nets are trained to estimate the a posteriori probabilities for all phones in each input frame. In the approach presented here, the probabilities of the neural nets are used to replace the codebook of a tied-mixture HMM system. Therefore the resulting system is called tied posterior. The advantages of this structure are that an arbitrary HMM-topology can be used, and that all context dependency and all clustering techniques used in tied-mixture systems can be applied to this hybrid speech recognition system. The approach has been evaluated on the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) database, with the result, that it outperforms the standard hybrid approach on this task.","PeriodicalId":164817,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing.

We present a framework that treats all these modalities in a uniform way. Experiments with the Janus speech recognizer have produced error rate reductions of up to 10% when compared to systems that do not use modality questions.","PeriodicalId":164817,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing.

We apply some well known results in the field of signal processing to these two important problems of synchronization. In particular we propose and explain the meaning of the unconditional CRB in the synchronization task. Simulation results for MSK and GMSK, along with the performance of some classical and previously proposed synchronizers, show that the proposed bound (along with the MCRB) is useful for a better prediction of the ultimate performance of the NDA estimators.","PeriodicalId":164817,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing.

Firstly, non-orthogonal MCM offers a higher degree of freedom in pulse-shaping design. Secondly, the problem of detecting orthogonal MCM under channel distortion can be viewed as a problem of detecting non-orthogonal MCM. In this work, the maximum likelihood detector (MLD) is considered for non-orthogonal multicarrier systems. In the absence of inter-block interference, it is shown that the MLD can be efficiently achieved by a Viterbi algorithm (VA). In contrast to using the VA for channel equalization, the proposed VA has its survivor metrics running in the\"\"frequency domain\". Incorporating this VA with an interference-canceling approach, we also develop a decision feedback MLD for the case of non-zero inter-block interference. Superior bit error performance of the MLDs is demonstrated by simulations.","PeriodicalId":164817,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing.
