Abstract

A system and method are provided that reduce noise in pattern recognition signals. To do this, embodiments of the present invention utilize a prior model of dynamic aspects of clean speech together with one or both of a prior model of static aspects of clean speech, and an acoustic model that indicates the relationship between clean speech, noisy speech and noise. In one embodiment, components of a noise-reduced feature vector are produced by forming a weighted sum of predicted values from the prior model of dynamic aspects of clean speech, the prior model of static aspects of clean speech and the acoustic-environmental model.
