Abstract:
A local projective noise reduction scheme, originally developed for low-dimensional stationary deterministic chaotic signals, is successfully applied to human speech. This is possible by exploiting properties of the speech signal which resemble structure exhibited by deterministic dynamical systems. In high-dimensional embedding spaces, the strong inherent nonstationarity is resolved as a sequence of many different dynamical regimes of moderate complexity.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
