Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for improving spontaneous speech recognition performance. The present invention is directed to providing a method and apparatus for improving spontaneous speech recognition performance by extracting a phase feature as well as a magnitude feature of a voice signal transformed to the frequency domain, detecting a syllabic nucleus on the basis of a deep neural network using a multi-frame output, determining a speaking rate by dividing the number of syllabic nuclei by a voice section interval detected by a voice detector, calculating a length variation or an overlap factor according to the speaking rate, and performing cepstrum length normalization or time scale modification with a voice length appropriate for an acoustic model.
