The performance of the existing speech recognition systems degrades rapidly in the presence of background noise. A novel representation of the speech signal, which is based on Linear Prediction of the One-Sided Autocorrelation sequence (OSALPC), has shown to be attractive for noisy speech recognition because of both its high recognition performance with respect to the conventional LPC in severe conditions of additive white noise and its computational simplicity. The aim of this work is twofold: (1) to show that OSALPC also achieves a good performance in a case of real noisy speech (in a car environment), and (2) to explore its combination with several robust similarity measuring techniques, showing that its performance improves by using cepstral liftering, dynamic features and multilabeling.
