HMM-separation-based speech recognition for a distant moving speaker.

This paper presents a hands-free speech recognition method based on HMM composition and separation for speech contaminated not only by additive noise but also by an acoustic transfer function. The method realizes an improved user interface such that a user is not encumbered by microphone equipment i...
