: Nowadays, speech recognition has become one of the important technologies for human-computer interaction. Speech recognition is essentially a process of speech training and pattern recognition, which makes feature extraction technology particularly important. The quality of feature extraction is directly related to the accuracy of speech recognition. Dynamic feature parameters can effectively improve the accuracy of speech recognition, which makes the speech feature dynamic feature extraction has higher research value. The traditional dynamic feature extraction method is easy to generate more redundant information, resulting in low recognition accuracy. Therefore, based on a new speech feature extraction method, a method based on deep learning for speech feature extraction is proposed. Firstly, speech signal is preprocessed by pre-emphasis, windowing, filtering and endpoint detection. Then, the sliding differential cepstral feature (SDC) is extracted, which contains the voice information of the front and back frames. Finally, the feature is used as input to extract the dynamic features that represent the depth essence of speech information through the deep self-encoding neural network. The simulation results show that the dynamic features extracted by in-depth learning have better recognition performance than the original features, and have a good effect in speech recognition.

The performance of speech recognition system is well or not is closely related to the characteristic parameters. For emulating human auditory system, a new method of speech feature extraction based on Hopf filter banks is presented. We modeled the extraction process of the MFCC, and used Hopf filter banks instead of the triangular filter banks. Then, we according the characteristics of Basilar Membranes in the cochlea to adjust the center frequency and bandwidth of the filter. The test speech goes through the Hopf filter banks, multi-dimensional eigenvectors will be obtained. After that, by Discrete Cosine Transformation, we will get the Hopf cepstral coefficients of the speech. Comparing with traditional feature MFCC, the speech recognition systems with Hopf characteristic parameters have better recognition rate and robustness characteristics in low Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) environment.

Feature extraction plays an important role in speech recognition. In this paper, we propose a speech feature extraction scheme which focuses on increasing the robustness of speech recognizer in noise (additive) and channel (convolutive) distortion environment. Considering the two distortions are additive in spectral and log-spectral domain, respectively, we remove the additive components by computing the time derivatives of speech frames firstly in spectral domain and then in log-spectral domain. Compared with conventional methods, this method does not need spectrum estimation and prior knowledge of noise. Experimental results confirm that our proposed method can improve the speech recognition performance in environ-ments existing both noise and channel distortions.
