The LIMSI RT07 Lecture Transcription System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system to automatically transcribe lectures and presentations has been developed in the context of the FP6 Integrated Project CHIL. In addition to the seminar data recorded by the CHIL partners, widely available corpora were used to train both the acoustic and language models. Acoustic model training made use of the transcribed portion of the TED corpus of Eurospeech recordings, as well as the ICSI, ISL, and NIST meeting corpora. For language model training, text materials were extracted from a variety of on-line conference proceedings. Experimental results are reported for close-talking and far-field microphones on development and evaluation data.

The paper describes the IBM systems submitted to the NIST Rich Transcription 2007 (RT07) evaluation campaign for the speechto-text (STT) and speaker-attributed speech-to-text (SASTT) tasks on the lecture meeting domain. Three testing conditions are considered, namely the multiple distant microphone (MDM), single distant microphone (SDM), and individual headset microphone (IHM) ones – the latter...

This paper describes the CHIL 2007 evaluation data set provided for the Rich Transcription 2007 Meeting Recognition Evaluation (RT07) in terms of recording setup, scenario, speaker demagogic and transcription process. The corpus consists of 25 interactive seminars recorded at five different recording sites in Europe and the United States in multi-sensory smart rooms. We compare speakers’ talk-t...
متن کاملThe IBM RT07 Evaluation Systems for Speaker Diarization on Lecture Meetings
We present the IBM systems for the Rich Transcription 2007 (RT07) speaker diarization evaluation task on lecture meeting data. We first overview our baseline system that was developed last year, as part of our speech-to-text system for the RT06s evaluation. We then present a number of simple schemes considered this year in our effort to improve speaker diarization performance, namely: (i) A bet...

This paper describes a speaker diarization system in 2007 NIST Rich Transcription (RT07) Meeting Recognition Evaluation for the task of Multiple Distant Microphone (MDM) in meeting room scenarios. The system includes three major modules: data preparation, initial speaker clustering and cluster purification/merging. The data preparation consists of the raw data Wiener filtering and beamforming, ...

This paper describes recent research carried out in the context of the FP6 Integrated Project CHIL in developing a system to automatically transcribe lectures and presentations. Widely available corpora were used to train both the acoustic and language models, since only a small amount of CHIL data was available for system development. Acoustic model training made use of the transcribed portion...
