Cross-word sub-word units for low-resource keyword spotting
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the use of sub-word lexical units for the detection of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) keywords in the keyword spotting task. Sub-word units based on morphological decomposition and character ngrams are compared. In particular, we examine the benefit of sub-word units that cross word boundaries. Experiments are performed on the IARPA Babel Turkish dataset. Our results demonstrate that cross-word subword units achieve similar performance on OOV keywords as other types of sub-word units, but can be combined to produce further gains. We also show that sub-word units can be used to improve detection of in-vocabulary keywords. System combination provides a 18% relative gain in ATWV with the best two systems, and 25% with the best three systems.

Conventional word spotting systems determine hypothesized keywords and their confidence score using a speech recognizer. Acceptance or rejection of these keywords is intended based on comparison of their scores with a specific threshold. It has been proved that confidence score prepared by recognizer is highly dependent on sub-word structure of each keyword. So comparing assigned scores to keyw...

• We explore the impact of morphological segmentation on Keyword Spotting (KWS). ! • Handling out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words is a major challenge in KWS we aim to alleviate this problem by utilizing sub-word units.! • We augment a state-of-the-art KWS system with subword units derived from supervised and unsupervised morphological segmentations, and compare with phonetic and syllabic segmentatio...
متن کاملComparing decoding strategies for subword-based keyword spotting in low-resourced languages
For languages with limited training resources, out-ofvocabulary (OOV) words are a significant problem, both for transcription and keyword spotting. This paper investigates the use of subword lexical units for keyword spotting. Three strategies for using the sub-word units are explored: 1) converting word-based lattices to subword lattices after decoding, 2) performing a separate decoding for ea...

The ever-increasing volume of audio data available online through the world wide web means that automatic methods for indexing and search are becoming essential. Hidden Markov model (HMM) keyword spotting and lattice search techniques are the two most common approaches used by such systems. In keyword spotting, models or templates are defined for each search term prior to accessing the speech a...
