Abstract
The characteristic features of speech signal do not vary significantly from frame to frame. Therefore, it is advisable to reduce the redundancy involved in the similar feature vectors. The objective of this paper is to search for the optimal condition of minimum redundancy and maximum relevancy of the speech feature vectors in speech recognition. For this purpose, we realize redundancy reduction by way of a vigilance parameter and investigate the resultant effect on the speaker-independent speech recognition of isolated words by using FVQ/HMM. Experimental results showed that the number of feature vectors might be reduced by 30% without deteriorating the speech recognition accuracy.
