Linearized distortion model for robust speech recognition in noisy environments by HE Yong-jun1, HAN Ji-qing1

“…The robustness of speech recognition system in noisy environments was investigated.The distortion model in Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient（MFCC） domain is highly non-linear and difficult to deal with.A new linear distortion model was proposed by replacing the logarithm operation with its piecewise linear interpolation function.Then the esti-mation of noise parameters and compensation of acoustic models were provided.The proposed method can avoid model error introduced by utilizing linearization methods based on vector Taylor series（VTS） expansion,and significantly im-prove the robustness of recognizer in noisy environments.…”

Everyday Urban Sounds: Ben Katchor’s Julius Knipl Radio Cartoons by Benjamin Fraser

“…Already very “sonic” in itself, this American comic strip is saturated with the sounds of modern life, and develops a particular use of speech, particularly in terms of linguistic rhythm, which lends itself well to acoustic adaptation. The paper shows how “radio cartoons” remediate both radio and comics, replacing them in the cultural context in which they were broadcast.…”
