Exploiting phoneme similarities in hybrid HMM-ANN keyword spotting
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a technique for generating alternative models for keywords in a hybrid hidden Markov model artificial neural network (HMM-ANN) keyword spotting paradigm. Given a base pronunciation for a keyword from the lookup dictionary, our algorithm generates a new model for a keyword which takes into account the systematic errors made by the neural network and avoiding those models that can be confused with other words in the language. The new keyword model improves the keyword detection rate while minimally increasing the number of false alarms.

Comparison of keyword spotting approaches for informal continuous speech
This paper describes several approaches to keyword spotting (KWS) for informal continuous speech. We compare acoustic keyword spotting, spotting in word lattices generated by large vocabulary continuous speech recognition and a hybrid approach making use of phoneme lattices generated by a phoneme recognizer. The systems are compared on carefully defined test data extracted from ICSI meeting dat...
متن کاملKeyword Spotting Based On Decision Fusion
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology is available now-a-days in all handsets where keyword spotting plays a vital role. Keyword spotting performance significantly degrades when applied to real-world environment due to background noise. As visual features are not affected much by noise this provides better solution. In this paper, audio-visual integration is proposed which combines audi...
متن کاملPerformance Improvement in Keyword Spotting for Telephony Services
In this paper, a new hybrid approach is presented for keyword spotting. The proposed Method is based on Hidden Markov Mode (HMM) and is performed in two stages. In the first stage by using phoneme models, a series of candidate keyword(s) is recognized. In the second stage, word models are used to decide on acceptance or rejection of each candidate keyword. Two different methods are presented in...
متن کاملPhoneme Based Acoustics Keyword Spotting in Informal Continuous Speech
This paper describes several ways of keywords spotting (KWS), based on Gaussian mixture (GM) hidden Markov modelling (HMM). Context-independent and dependent phoneme models are used in our system. The system was trained and evaluated on informal continuous speech. We used different complexities of KWS recognition networks and different types of phoneme models. The impact of these parameters on ...
متن کاملA new keyword spotting algorithm with pre-calculated optimal thresholds
Keyword spotting is a very forward-looking and promising branch of speech recognition. This paper presents a HMM-based keyword spotting system, which works with a new algorithm. The first discussion topic is the description of the search algorithm, that needs no representation of the non-keyword parts of the speech signal. For this purpose, the computation of the HMM scores and the Viterbi algo...
