Abstract
This paper concerns an influence of a filter shape and a benefit of the Hertz-Bark transformation to the word error rate (WER) obtained in a telephone-based speech recognition application working with the Perceptually-based Linear Predictive (PLP) parameterization. Five various shapes of filters (rectangular, narrow and wide trapezium, triangular and the classical PLP filter shape [1]) were compared and an effect of a nonlinear frequency transformation between Hertz and generalized Bark axis was explored. Experiments with 100 speakers and with the vocabulary size of 475 words were performed. During all experiments only the zero-gram language model was used to see better an influence of particular variables to changes of the WER.
Support for this work was provided by the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic, project No. MSM234200004, and by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic, project No. 102/96/K087.
