原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Despite the advancements in cutting-edge technologies, audio signal processing continues to pose challenges and lacks the precision of a human speech processing system. To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach to simplify audio signal processing by leveraging time-domain techniques and reservoir computing. Through our research, we have developed a real-time audio signal processing system by simplifying audio signal processing through the utilization of reservoir computers, which are significantly easier to train. Feature extraction is a fundamental step in speech signal processing, with Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) being a dominant choice due to their perceptual relevance to human hearing. However, conventional MFCC extraction relies on computationally intensive time-frequency transformations, limiting efficiency in real-time applications. To address this, we propose a novel approach that leverages reservoir computing to streamline MFCC extraction. By replacing traditional frequency-domain conversions with convolution operations, we eliminate the need for complex transformations while maintaining feature discriminability. We present an end-to-end audio processing framework that integrates this method, demonstrating its potential for efficient and real-time speech analysis. Our results contribute to the advancement of energy-efficient audio processing technologies, enabling seamless deployment in embedded systems and voice-driven applications. This work bridges the gap between biologically inspired feature extraction and modern neuromorphic computing, offering a scalable solution for next-generation speech recognition systems.
