Abstract

Sparse linear predictive analysis using the ℓ1-norm minimization criterion has been shown to provide a valid alternative to the traditional linear predictive approach. The sparser the resulted speech residual is, the fewer pulses needed to represent it. To find a sparse residual further, we propose to use the ℓ1/2-norm as the optimization objective of linear prediction, and use an iteratively reweighted ℓ1 minimization approach to solve it. We also find that the procedure of determining the locations and amplitudes of the optimal pulses in the multipulse analysis is equivalent to a sparse decomposition problem, which is efficiently solved by the optimized orthogonal matching pursuit approach. The objective and informal subjective evaluations over the TIMIT database give proof of the effectiveness of this new model, performing better than the traditional approach for modeling and coding of speech.
