  • Abstract
    In this paper, a pipelining empirical mode decomposition is presented to reduce the computing time of the emotionalized spontaneous speaker or speech recognition processing. This is a novel approach for integrating the pipelining technique into the standard empirical mode decomposition of the Hilbert-Huang transform. In addition, there is reduced about 45% of the computing time when the emotionalized spoken signal through our segmentation and pipelining processes. Based on the designed processing of emotionalized spontaneous speaker or speech recognition, the segmented and processed voice signals are recomposed back for constructing the speech and speaker models, or to identify which existed model is the most similar one. In the final part of this paper, a comparison of the speech recognized rate between standard and pipelining empirical mode decompositions are presented, and an equivalent effect in the recognition will be found. In practice, speaker or speech recognitions in an emotionalized spontaneous speech are very difficult. The existing speech recognition methods often fail to capture inherent voiceprint features from an emotionalized speech, such as the voice with a passionate intonation. And some of the existed methods to extract the pure voiceprint from an emotionalized spoken signal are very expensive in computation and time, so that technique is impossible to use in a real-time environment like smart houses. But, this paper presents a solution to improve the emotionalized spontaneous speaker or speech recognition processing to fit the real-time request.
