摘要翻译：
在现实环境中，语音通常会受到各种噪声和混响的干扰，这极大地降低了自动语音识别(ASR)系统的性能。为了缓解这一问题，最常用的方法是使用一种设计良好的语音增强方法作为ASR的前端。然而，这类方法需要消耗更复杂的流水线、更多的计算量和更高的硬件成本（麦克风阵列）。此外，语音增强会导致语音失真和与训练不匹配。本文提出了一种对抗性训练方法来直接增强声学模型的噪声鲁棒性。具体来说，在训练阶段采用生成对抗网(GAN)和基于神经网络的声学模型(AM)的联合组合方案。GAN用于通过鉴别器的引导从噪声特征生成干净的特征表示，该鉴别器试图区分真实干净的信号和生成的信号。生成器、鉴别器和AM的联合优化集中了GAN和AM在语音识别中的优势。在CHiME-4上的系统实验表明，该方法显著提高了AM的噪声鲁棒性，在开发集和测试集上平均相对误差率分别降低23.38%和11.54%。

英文摘要：
  In realistic environments, speech is usually interfered by various noise and reverberation, which dramatically degrades the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. To alleviate this issue, the commonest way is to use a well-designed speech enhancement approach as the front-end of ASR. However, more complex pipelines, more computations and even higher hardware costs (microphone array) are additionally consumed for this kind of methods. In addition, speech enhancement would result in speech distortions and mismatches to training. In this paper, we propose an adversarial training method to directly boost noise robustness of acoustic model. Specifically, a jointly compositional scheme of generative adversarial net (GAN) and neural network-based acoustic model (AM) is used in the training phase. GAN is used to generate clean feature representations from noisy features by the guidance of a discriminator that tries to distinguish between the true clean signals and generated signals. The joint optimization of generator, discriminator and AM concentrates the strengths of both GAN and AM for speech recognition. Systematic experiments on CHiME-4 show that the proposed method significantly improves the noise robustness of AM and achieves the average relative error rate reduction of 23.38% and 11.54% on the development and test set, respectively.
