Stuttering or stammering is disruptions in the normal flow of speech by dysfluencies, which can be repetitions or prolongations of phoneme or syllable. Stuttering cannot be permanently cured, though it may go into remission or stutterers can learn to shape their speech into fluent speech with an appropriate speech pathology treatment. Linear Prediction Coefficient (LPC), Linear Prediction Cepstral Coefficient (LPCC) and Line Spectral Frequency (LSF) were used for the feature extraction, while Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) was used as the classifier. The samples used were obtained from UCLASS (University College London Archive of Stuttered Speech) release 1. The LPCC-MLP system had the highest overall sensitivity, precision and the lowest overall misclassification rate. LPCC-MLP system had challenges with F3, the sensitivity of the system to F3 was negligible, similarly, the precision was moderate and the misclassification rate was negligible, but above 10%.

Speech Feature Extraction

Speech feature extraction is discussed. Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) and perceptual linear prediction coefficient (PLP) method is analyzed. These two types of features are extracted in Lhasa large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system. Then the recognition results are compared.

Inaccurate estimates of the linear prediction coefficient (LPC) and noise variance introduce bias in Kalman filter (KF) gain and degrade speech enhancement performance. The existing methods propose a tuning of the biased Kalman gain, particularly in stationary noise conditions. This paper introduces a tuning of the KF gain for speech enhancement in real-life noise conditions. First, we estimate noise from each noisy speech frame using a speech presence probability (SPP) method to compute the noise variance. Then, we construct a whitening filter (with its coefficients computed from the estimated noise) to pre-whiten each noisy speech frame prior to computing the speech LPC parameters. We then construct the KF with the estimated parameters, where the robustness metric offsets the bias in KF gain during speech absence of noisy speech to that of the sensitivity metric during speech presence to achieve better noise reduction. The noise variance and the speech model parameters are adopted as a speech activity detector. The reduced-biased Kalman gain enables the KF to minimize the noise effect significantly, yielding the enhanced speech. Objective and subjective scores on the NOIZEUS corpus demonstrate that the enhanced speech produced by the proposed method exhibits higher quality and intelligibility than some benchmark methods.
