The LIMSI SDR System for TREC-8
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we report on our TREC-8 SDR system, which combines an adapted version of the LIMSI 1998 Hub-4E transcription system for speech recognition with an IR system based on the Okapi term weighting function. Experimental results are given in terms of word error rate and average precision for both the SDR’98 and SDR’99 data sets. In addition to the Okapi approach, we also investiged a Markovian approach, which although not used in the TREC-8 evaluation, yields comparable results. The evaluation system obtained an average precision of 0.5411 on the reference transcriptions and of 0.5072 on the automatic transcriptions. The word error rate measured on a 10 hour subset is of 21.5%.

The LIMSI SDR System for TREC-9
In this paper we describe the LIMSI Spoken Document Retrieval system used in the TREC-9 evaluation. This system combines an adapted version of the LIMSI 1999 Hub-4E transcription system for speech recognition with text-based IR methods. Compared with the LIMSI TREC-8 system, this year’s system is able to index the audio data without knowledge of the story boundaries using a double windowing app...
متن کاملThe Thisl SDR System at TREC-9
This paper describes our participation in the TREC-9 Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) track. The THISL SDR system consists of a realtime version of a hybrid connectionist/HMM large vocabulary speech recognition system and a probabilistic text retrieval system. This paper describes the configuration of the speech recognition and text retrieval systems, including segmentation and query expansion. ...

In 1999, AT&T participated in the ad-hoc task and the Question Answering (QA), Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR), and Web tracks. Most of our e ort for TREC-8 focused on the QA and SDR tracks. Results from SDR track show that our document expansion techniques, presented in [8, 9], are very e ective for speech retrieval. The results for question answering are also encouraging. Our system designed ...
متن کاملSpoken Document Retrieval for TREC-8 at Cambridge University
This paper presents work done at Cambridge University on the TREC-8 Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) Track. The 500 hours of broadcast news audio was filtered using an automatic scheme for detecting commercials, and then transcribed using a 2-pass HTK speech recogniser which ran at 13 times real time. The system gave an overall word error rate of 20.5% on the 10 hour scored subset of the corpus,...
