Title: Robust Feature Extractin Using Kernel PCA
Authors: Tetsuya Takiguchi, Yasuo Ariki, Kobe University, Japan
Abstract: We investigate a robust feature extraction method using kernel PCA. Much research for robust feature extraction has been done, but it is difficult to completely remove the non-stationary noise or reverberation. The most commonly used noise-removal techniques are based on the spectral-domain operation, and then for the speech recognition, MFCC is computed, where DCT is applied to the mel-scale filter bank output. In this paper, we propose robust feature extraction based on kernel PCA instead of DCT, where the main speech element is projected onto low-order features, while noise or reverberant element is projected onto high-order ones. Its effectiveness is confirmed by word recognition experiments on reverberant speech.
