摘要翻译：
深度学习是一种新兴技术，被认为是达到更高水平的人工智能最有希望的方向之一。在其他成就中，制造能够理解语音的计算机代表着向智能机器的一个关键飞跃。然而，尽管在过去的几十年里做出了巨大的努力，但自然而稳健的人机语音交互似乎仍然遥不可及，尤其是当用户在嘈杂和混响的环境中与远处的麦克风交互时。后者严重阻碍了语音信号的可懂度，使得远距离语音识别(DSR)成为该领域的主要开放挑战之一。本文针对后一种情况，提出了一些新的技术、体系结构和算法来提高远对话声学模型的鲁棒性。我们首先阐述了实际数据污染的方法，特别强调了用模拟数据进行DNN训练。然后，我们研究了更好地利用语音上下文的方法，提出了一些前馈和递归神经网络的原始方法。最后，受不同DNN之间的合作是对抗噪声和混响有害影响的关键这一思想的启发，我们提出了一种新的深度学习范式，称为深度神经网络的network of deep neural Networks。对原始概念的分析是基于对真实和模拟数据进行的广泛实验验证，考虑了不同的语料库、麦克风配置、环境、噪声条件和ASR任务。

分类描述：Covers natural language processing. Roughly includes material in ACM Subject Class I.2.7. Note that work on artificial languages (programming languages, logics, formal systems) that does not explicitly address natural-language issues broadly construed (natural-language processing, computational linguistics, speech, text retrieval, etc.) is not appropriate for this area.
涵盖自然语言处理。大致包括ACM科目I.2.7类的材料。请注意，人工语言（编程语言、逻辑学、形式系统）的工作，如果没有明确地解决广义的自然语言问题（自然语言处理、计算语言学、语音、文本检索等），就不适合这个领域。

英文摘要：
  Deep learning is an emerging technology that is considered one of the most promising directions for reaching higher levels of artificial intelligence. Among the other achievements, building computers that understand speech represents a crucial leap towards intelligent machines. Despite the great efforts of the past decades, however, a natural and robust human-machine speech interaction still appears to be out of reach, especially when users interact with a distant microphone in noisy and reverberant environments. The latter disturbances severely hamper the intelligibility of a speech signal, making Distant Speech Recognition (DSR) one of the major open challenges in the field.   This thesis addresses the latter scenario and proposes some novel techniques, architectures, and algorithms to improve the robustness of distant-talking acoustic models. We first elaborate on methodologies for realistic data contamination, with a particular emphasis on DNN training with simulated data. We then investigate on approaches for better exploiting speech contexts, proposing some original methodologies for both feed-forward and recurrent neural networks. Lastly, inspired by the idea that cooperation across different DNNs could be the key for counteracting the harmful effects of noise and reverberation, we propose a novel deep learning paradigm called network of deep neural networks. The analysis of the original concepts were based on extensive experimental validations conducted on both real and simulated data, considering different corpora, microphone configurations, environments, noisy conditions, and ASR tasks.
