Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems degrade significantly under noisy conditions. Recently, speech enhancement (SE) is introduced as front-end to reduce noise for ASR, but it also suppresses some important speech information, i.e.,…

End-to-end models for robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) have not been sufficiently well-explored in prior work. With end-to-end models, one could choose to preprocess the input speech using speech enhancement techniques and train…

New-age conversational agent systems perform both speech emotion recognition (SER) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) using two separate and often independent approaches for real-world application in noisy environments. In this paper,…
