Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper deals with voice activity detection (VAD) tasks under high-level noise environments where signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) are lower than -5 dB. Many VAD approaches have been developed during recent decades and shown to be efficient and effective. However, these approaches tend to fail the detection when SNRs become critically low in real situations, such as rescue robots in a disaster or navigation in a high-speed moving car. On the other hand, the deep learning techniques have achieved state-of-art results in many difficult classification tasks and shown the high potential to be able to solve the difficult VAD tasks. To achieve accurate VAD results under high-level noise environments, this paper proposes a gated convolutional neural network-based approach that is able to capture long- and short-term dependencies in time series as cues for detection. Experimental evaluations using high-level ego-noise of a hose-shaped rescue robot revealed that the proposed method was able to averagely achieve accurate VAD results in environments with SNR in the range of -30 dB to -5 dB.
