Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Non-linguistic factors of speech such as vocal tract sizes and recording devices easily change
acoustic features of speech. Recently, a new representation of speech with complete cancelation
of these changes has been proposed. This representation discards the absolute properties of speech
events and captures only the contrasts among them. As a full set of the contrasts in the events can
define a unique geometrical structure, the proposal can be
regarded as structural representation. In this paper, the new representation is examined based
on two kinds of isolated word recognition tasks, a five-vowel-sequence word set and a phonetically
balanced word set.
Here, two problems, too strong invariance and too high dimensionality, are
solved by multiple stream structuralization and linear discriminant analysis. To compare the conventional
method and the proposed one, frequency-warped utterances are also used for testing. The
experimental results show the high robustness of our proposed method.
