A Multi-channel/multi-speaker Articulatory Database for Continuous Speech Recognition Research
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of this research is to improve the performance of a speaker-independent Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system by using directly measured articulatory parameters in the training phase. This paper examines the need for a multi-channel/multi-speaker articulatory database and describes the design of such a database and the processes involved in its creation.

Speaker Adaptation in Continuous Speech Recognition Using MLLR-Based MAP Estimation
A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...
متن کاملA new Italian dataset of parallel acoustic and articulatory data
In this paper we introduce a new Italian dataset consisting of simultaneous recordings of continuous speech and trajectories of important vocal tract articulators (i.e. tongue, lips, incisors) tracked by Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA). It includes more than 500 sentences uttered in citation condition by three speakers, one male (cnz) and two females (lls, olm), for approximately 2 hours o...

متن کاملUsing Articulatory Information for Speaker Adaptation
Articulatory Features (AF) have proven beneficial for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) in noisy environments, for hyper-articulated speech or in multi-lingual settings. A stream setup can combine standard sub-phone Gaussian Mixture Models with feature GMMs; the weights assigned to each feature stream such as VOICED or BILABIAL could intuitively be used for adaptation to speaker or text. In th...
متن کاملA flexible stream architecture for ASR using articulatory features
Recently, speech recognition systems based on articulatory features such as “voicing” or the position of lips and tongue have gained interest, because they promise advantages with respect to robustness and permit new adaptation methods to compensate for channel, noise, and speaker variability. These approaches are also interesting from a general point of view, because their models use phonologi...
