As a model compensation method for this problem we investigated the use of factorial hidden Markov model FHMM architecture developed from a clean-speech hidden Markov model HMM and a sudden-noise HMM. While in conventional studies this architecture is defined only for static features of the observation vector we extended it to dynamic features. In addition we performed home-environment adaptation of FHMMs to the characteristics of a given house. A database recorded by a personal robot called PaPeRo in home environments was used for the evaluation of the proposed method. Isolated word recognition experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method under noisy conditions. Home-dependent word FHMMs HD-FHMMs reduced the word error rate by compared to that of the clean-speech word HMMs. Copyright 2007 Agnieszka Betkowska et al.

INTRODUCTION A great deal of effort has been devoted to developing personal robots such as household robots educational robots or personal assistants that interact with human beings in the home environment. Most of those robots are equipped with a speech-recognition .
