Abstract

This paper presents robust speech
recognition system in the presence of noise.
Discrete Hidden Markov Model (DHMM) is used
for mainly reducing the computation burden of
voice recognition which in turn increases speed.
Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT) is an empirical
approach to decompose any complicated data set
into a finite number of Intrinsic Mode Functions
(IMF) to obtain the instantaneous frequency data.
This Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD)
method of HHT operates in time domain on the
local characteristic time scale of the data, making
it adaptive and highly efficient to work with any
nonlinear and nonstationary data’s unlike Fourier
transforms. The Mel Frequency Spectrum
Coefficients (MFCC) is derived from cepstral
coefficients of IMFs. The features are then
weighted and summed to get the original speech
reconstructed signal. Genetic Algorithm (GA) was
designed for each IMF to get better optimal
solution. This results in significant reduction in
time measurement, and thus it improves the
speech recognition rate
