Paper abstract
-----
Voice over IP is becoming very popular due to the huge range of services that can be implemented by means of integrating different media (voice, audio, data, etc.). Besides, voice-enabled interfaces for those services based on speech recognition are being very actively researched. As it has been already pointed out, the impact of packet losses on speech recognizers is very important. In this paper, we have compared the usual concealment method used to replace the lost packets with an SVM-based one that outperforms the most commonly employed method (repetition of the last correctly received frame). Furthermore, preliminary ASR experiments show a slight enhancement of the recognition accuracy, which can be further improved due to the versatility of the method we are proposing.
