SPEECH RECOGNITION USING DATA ANALYSIS AND DILATION OF SPEECH CONTENT FROM SEPARATED AUDIO INPUT

Abstract:

The disclosure includes using dilation of speech content from a separated audio input for speech recognition. An audio input from a speaker and predicted changes for the audio input based on an external noise are received at a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network). In the CNN, diarization is applied to the audio input to predict how a dilation of speech content from the speaker changes the audio input to generate a CNN output. A resulting dilation is determined from the CNN output. A word error rate is determined for the dilated CNN output to determine an accuracy for speech to text outputs. An adjustment parameter is set to change a range of the dilation based on the word error rate, and the resulting dilation of the CNN output is adjusted based on the adjustment parameter to reduce the word error rate.
