Selecting phonotactic features for language recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies feature selection in phonotactic language recognition. The phonotactic feature is presented by n-gram statistics derived from one or more phone recognizers in the form of high dimensional feature vectors. Two feature selection strategies are proposed to select the n-gram statistics for reducing the dimension of feature vectors, so that higher order n-gram features can be adopted in language recognition. With the proposed feature selection techniques, we achieved equal error rates (EERs) of 1.84% with 4-gram statistics on the 2007 NIST Language Recognition Evaluation 30s closed test sets.

Towards High Performance Phonotactic Feature for Spoken Language Recognition
With the demands of globalization, multilingual speech is increasingly common in conversational telephone speech, broadcast news and internet podcasts. Therefore, automatic spoken language recognition has become an important technology in multilingual speech related applications. For example, automatic spoken language recognition has been used as a preprocessing component for spoken language tr...
متن کاملParallel Acoustic Model Adaptation for Improving Phonotactic Language Recognition
In phonotactic language recognition systems, the use of acoustic model adaptation prior to phone lattice decoding has been proposed to deal with the mismatch between training and test conditions. In this paper, a novel approach using diversified phonotactic features from parallel acoustic model adaptation is proposed. Specifically, the parallel model adaptation involves independent mean-only an...
متن کاملTime-Frequency Cepstral Features and Combining Discriminative Training for Phonotactic Language Recognition
The performance of the phonotactic system for language recognition depends on the quality of the phone recognizers. To improve the performance of the recognizers, this paper investigates the use of new acoustic features and discriminative training techniques for phone recognizers. The commonly used features are static ceptral coefficients appended with their first and second order deltas. This ...
متن کاملFusing language information from diverse data sources for phonotactic language recognition
The baseline approach in building phonotactic language recognition systems is to characterize each language by a single phonotactic model generated from all the available languagespecific training data. When several data sources are available for a given target language, system performance can be improved using language source-dependent phonotactic models. In this case, the common practice is t...
متن کاملHomogenous ensemble phonotactic language recognition based on SVM supervector reconstruction
Currently, acoustic spoken language recognition (SLR) and phonotactic SLR systems are widely used language recognition systems. To achieve better performance, researchers combine multiple subsystems with the results often much better than a single SLR system. Phonotactic SLR subsystems may vary in the acoustic features vectors or include multiple language-specific phone recognizers and differen...
