Complementary Phone Error Training

چکیده
This paper introduces a novel method for the training of a complementary acoustic model with respect to set of given acoustic models. The method is based upon an extension of the Minimum Phone Error (MPE) criterion and aims at producing a model that makes complementary phone errors to those already trained. The technique is therefore called Complementary Phone Error (CPE) training. The method is evaluated using an Arabic large vocabulary continuous speech recognition task. Reductions in word error rate (WER) after combination with a CPE-trained system were obtained with up to 0.7% absolute for a system trained on 172 hours of acoustic data and up to 0.2% absolute for the final system trained on nearly 2000 hours of Arabic data.

Improved discriminative training using phone lattices
We present an efficient discriminative training procedure utilizing phone lattices. Different approaches to expediting lattice generation, statistics collection, and convergence were studied. We also propose a new discriminative training criterion, namely, minimum phone frame error (MPFE). When combined with the maximum mutual information (MMI) criterion using I-smoothing, replacing the standar...
متن کاملPhone-discriminating minimum classification error (p-MCE) training for phonetic recognition
In this paper, we report a study on performance comparisons of discriminative training methods for phone recognition using the TIMIT database. We propose a new method of phonediscriminating minimum classification error (P-MCE), which performs MCE training at the sub-string or phone level instead of at the traditional string level. Aiming at minimizing the phone recognition error rate, P-MCE nev...

متن کاملMultilingual phone recognition of spontaneous telephone speech
In this paper we report on experiments with phone recognition of spontaneous telephone speech. Phone recognizers were trained and assessed on IDEAL, a multilingual corpus containing telephone speech in French, British English, German and Castillan Spanish. We investigated the influence of the training material composition (size and linguistic content) on the recognition performance using contex...

This paper considers minimum phone error (MPE) based discriminative training of acoustic models for Mandarin broadcast news recognition. We present a new phone accuracy function based on the frame-level accuracy of hypothesized phone arcs instead of using the raw phone accuracy function of MPE training. Moreover, a novel data selection approach based on the frame-level normalized entropy of Gau...
