Speech recognition using sub-word units dependent on phonetic contexts of both training and recognition vocabularies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a new speech recognition algorithm using a new context-dependent recognition unit design method for e cient and precise acoustic modeling. This algorithm uses both training and recognition vocabularies to select context-dependent units which precisely represent acoustic variations due to phonetic contexts in a recognition vocabulary. An e cient training algorithm for selected context-dependent units is also proposed. In speaker-independent isolated-word recognition experiments, the proposed algorithm gave a 11% error reduction for 5000 word recognition, and gave a 43% error reduction for 10 digit recognition. These results con rmed the e ectiveness of the proposed method.

Allophone-based acoustic modeling for Persian phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...
متن کاملStatistical modeling of phonological rules through linguistic hierarchies
This paper describes our research aimed at acquiring a generalized probability model for alternative phonetic realizations in conversational speech. For all of our experiments, we utilize the summit landmark-based speech recognition framework. The approach begins with a set of formal context-dependent phonological rules, applied to the baseforms in the recognizer’s lexicon. A large speech corpu...
متن کاملIncorporating a Bayesian wide phonetic context model for acoustic rescoring
This paper presents a method for improving acoustic model precision by incorporating wide phonetic context units in speech recognition. The wide phonetic context model is constructed from several narrower context-dependent models based on the Bayesian framework. Such a composition is performed in order to avoid the crucial problem of a limited availability of training data and to reduce the mod...
متن کاملSpeech recognition for huge vocabularies by using optimized sub-word units
This paper describes approaches for decomposing words of huge vocabularies (up to 2 million) into smaller particles that are suitable for a recognition lexicon. Results on a Finnish dictation task and a flat list of German street names are given.
متن کاملGrapheme based speech recognition for large vocabularies
Common speech recognition systems use phonetically motivated subword units. To utilize words in these systems, one has to translate the available graphemic word representation into a phonetic one. To reduce this manual effort we propose to build grapheme based recognition systems. They can be used as speech interfaces for devices that can provide a graphemic representation of words like city na...
