Online adaptive learning for speech recognition decoding

چکیده
We describe a new method for pruning in dynamic models based on running an adaptive filtering algorithm online during decoding to predict aspects of the scores in the near future. These predictions are used to make well-informed pruning decisions during model expansion. We apply this idea to the case of dynamic graphical models and test it on a speech recognition database derived from Switchboard. Results show that significant (factor of 2) speedups can be obtained without any increase in word error rate.

VAD-measure-embedded decoder with online model adaptation
We previously proposed a decoding method for automatic speech recognition utilizing hypothesis scores weighted by voice activity detection (VAD)-measures. This method uses two Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) to obtain confidence measures: one for speech, the other for non-speech. To achieve good search performance, we need to adapt the GMMs properly for input utterances and environmental noise. ...
متن کاملOnline Speaker Adaptation with Pre-Computed FMLLR Transformations
This paper presents a memory efficient single pass speech recognizer that makes use of pre-computed FMLLR transformations for online speaker adaptation. For that purpose we apply unsupervised segment clustering to the training corpus, create a transformation matrix for each cluster, and train a text-independentGaussian mixture classifier for cluster selection during runtime. We use the RWTH Aac...
متن کاملUncertainty Decoding with Adaptive Sampling for Noise Robust DNN-Based Acoustic Modeling
Although deep neural network (DNN) based acoustic models have obtained remarkable results, the automatic speech recognition (ASR) performance still remains low in noise and reverberant conditions. To address this issue, a speech enhancement front-end is often used before recognition to reduce noise. However, the front-end cannot fully suppress noise and often introduces artifacts that are limit...
متن کاملNever-ending learning with dynamic hidden Markov network
Current automatic speech recognition systems have two distinctive modes of operation: training and recognition. After the training, system parameters are fixed, and if a mismatch between training and testing conditions occurs, an adaptation procedure is commonly applied. However, the adaptation methods change the system parameters in such a way that previously learned knowledge is irrecoverably...
متن کاملEvolving Connectionist Systems for On-Line Pattern Classification of Multimedia Data
The paper develops further the concept of evolving connectionist systems, and one particular model – evolving fuzzy neural networks, that are applied on pattern classification tasks of multimedia data. The evolving systems learn in an on-line, life-long learning mode and adapt to the new data. This mode is crucial when the system is required to adapt quickly to new data and be able to generaliz...
