A variety of techniques have been proposed to deal with this problem, and one category of these techniques aims to normalize the temporal statistics of the speech features, which is the main direction of our proposed new approaches here. In this thesis, we propose a series of noise robustness approaches, all of which attempt to normalize the modulation spectrum of speech features. They include equi-ripple temporal filtering (ERTF), least-squares spectrum fitting (LSSF) and magnitude spectrum interpolation (MSI). With these approaches, the mismatch between the modulation spectra for
