    Abstract: A system and method are provided that accurately estimate noise and that reduce noise in pattern recognition signals. The method and system define a mapping random variable as a function of at least a clean signal random variable and a noise random variable. A model parameter that describes at least one aspect of a distribution of values for the mapping random variable is then determined. Based on the model parameter, an estimate for the clean signal random variable is determined. Under many aspects of the present invention, the mapping random variable is a signal-to-noise ratio variable and the method and system estimate a value for the signal-to-noise ratio variable from the model parameter.

    Abstract: A method and system use an alternative sensor signal received from a sensor other than an air conduction microphone to estimate a clean speech value. The estimation uses either the alternative sensor signal alone, or in conjunction with the air conduction microphone signal. The clean speech value is estimated without using a model trained from noisy training data collected from an air conduction microphone. Under one embodiment, correction vectors are added to a vector formed from the alternative sensor signal in order to form a filter, which is applied to the air conductive microphone signal to produce the clean speech estimate. In other embodiments, the pitch of a speech signal is determined from the alternative sensor signal and is used to decompose an air conduction microphone signal. The decomposed signal is then used to determine a clean signal estimate.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus estimate additive noise in a noisy signal using incremental Bayes learning, where a time-varying noise prior distribution is assumed and hyperparameters (mean and variance) are updated recursively using an approximation for posterior computed at the preceding time step. The additive noise in time domain is represented in the log-spectrum or cepstrum domain before applying incremental Bayes learning. The results of both the mean and variance estimates for the noise for each of separate frames are used to perform speech feature enhancement in the same log-spectrum or cepstrum domain.
