SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISCRIMINATIVE TRAINING OF REGRESSION DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS

Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and computer system for transforming, by a computing device, a speech signal into a speech signal representation. A regression deep neural network may be trained with a cost function to minimize a mean squared error between actual values of the speech signal representation and estimated values of the speech signal representation, wherein the cost function may include one or more discriminative terms. Bandwidth of the speech signal may be extended by extending the speech signal representation of the speech signal using the regression deep neural network trained with the cost function that includes the one or more discriminative terms.
