Abstract / Description of output

Temporally weighted linear predictive methods have recently been successfully used for robust feature extraction in speech and speaker recognition. This paper introduces their general formulation, where various efficient temporal weighting func-tions can be included in the optimization of the all-pole co-efficients of a linear predictive model. Temporal weighting is imposed by multiplying elements of instantaneous autocorrela-tion "snapshot" matrices computed from speech data. With this novel autocorrelation-snapshot formulation of weighted linear prediction, it is demonstrated that different temporal aspects of speech can be emphasized in order to enhance robustness of feature extraction in speech emotion recognition.
