Improving genericity for task-independent speech recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although there have been regular improvements in speech recognition technology over the past decade, speech recognition is far from being a solved problem. Recognition systems are usually tuned to a particular task and porting the system to a new task (or language) is both time-consuming and expensive. In this paper, issues in speech recognizer portability are addressed through the development of generic core speech recognition technology. First, the genericity of wide domain models is assessed by evaluating performance on several tasks. Then, the use of transparent methods for adapting generic models to a specific task is explored. Finally, further techniques are evaluated aiming at enhancing the genericity of the wide domain models. We show that unsupervised acoustic model adaptation and multi-source training can reduce the performance gap between task-independent and taskdependent acoustic models, and for some tasks even out-perform task-dependent acoustic models.

Genericity and Adaptability Issues for Task-Independent Speech Recognition
The last decade has witnessed major advances in core speech recognition technology,with today’s systems able to recognize continuous speech from many speakers without the need for an explicit enrollment procedure. Despite these improvements, speech recognition is far from being a solved problem. Most recognition systems are tuned to a particular task and porting the system to another task or la...

Despite the considerable progress made in the last decade, speech recognition is far from a solved problem. For instance, porting a recognition system to a new task (or language) still requires substantial investment of time and money, as well as expertise in speech recognition. This paper takes a first step at evaluating to what extent a generic state-of-the-art speech recognizer can reduce th...
