Improvements of the Philips 2000 Taiwan Mandarin benchmark system

In this paper, we present the Philips large vocabulary continuous Mandarin speech recognition system developed for the 2000 Taiwan Speech Input Technology Assessment. We systematically integrated key Mandarin components with up-todate Western-language techniques to build up a state-of-the-art Mandarin speech recognition system. These technologies include robust pitch extraction/tone modeling, c...
