Exemplar-Based Sparse Representations for Noise Robust Automatic Speech Recognition

This paper proposes to use exemplar-based sparse representations for noise robust automatic speech recognition. First, we describe how speech can be modeled as a linear combination of a small number of exemplars from a large speech exemplar dictionary. The exemplars are time-frequency patches of real speech, each spanning multiple time frames. We then propose to model speech corrupted by additive noise as a linear combination of noise and speech...
