Abstract

A new efficient code for speech signals is proposed. To represent speech signals with minimum redundancy we use independent component analysis to adapt features (basis vectors) that efficiently encode the speech signals. The learned basis vectors are sparsely distributed and localized in both time and frequency. Time-frequency analysis of basis vectors shows the property similar with the critical bandwidth of human auditory system. Our results suggest that the obtained codes of speech signals are sparse and biologically plausible.
