Abstract
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems are notorious for their poor performance in adverse conditions, leading to high sensitivity and low robustness. Due to the costly and time-consuming nature of creating extensive speech databases, addressing the issue of low robustness has become a prominent area of research, focusing on the synthetic generation of speech data using pre-existing natural speech. This paper examines the impact of standard data augmentation techniques, including pitch shift, time stretch, volume control, and their combination, on the accuracy of isolated-word ASR systems. The performance of three machine learning models, namely Hidden Markov Models (HMM), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), is analyzed on two Serbian corpora of isolated words. The Whi-Spe speech database in neutral phonation is utilized for augmentation and training, and a specifically developed Python-based software tool is employed for the augmentation process in this research study. The conducted experiments demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in the Word Error Rate (WER) for the CNN-based recognizer on both testing datasets, achieved through a single augmentation technique based on pitch-shifting. |
