Abstract	In our previous work, we proposed a feature compensation approach using high-order vector Taylor series (VTS) approximation for noisy speech recognition. In this paper, we report new progress on making it more powerful and practical in real applications. First, mixtures of densities are used to enhance the distortion models of both additive noise and convolutional distortion. New formulations for maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of distortion model parameters, and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimation of clean speech are derived and presented. Second, we improve the feature compensation in both efficiency and accuracy by applying higher order information of VTS approximation only to the noisy speech mean parameters, and a temporal smoothing operation for the posterior probability of Gaussian mixture components in clean speech estimation. Finally, we design a procedure to perform irrelevant variability normalization (IVN) based joint training of a reference Gaussian mixture model (GMM) for feature compensation and hidden Markov models (HMMs) for acoustic modeling using VTS-based feature compensation. The effectiveness of our proposed approach is confirmed by experiments on Aurora3 benchmark database for a real-world in-vehicle connected digits recognition task. Compared with ETSI advanced front-end, our approach achieves significant recognition accuracy improvement across three "training-testing" conditions for four languages.
