Automatic Transcription of Lecture Speech using Language Model Based on Speaking-Style Transformation of Proceeding Texts
نویسندگان
چکیده
For language modeling of spontaneous speech recognition, we propose a style transformation approach, which transforms written texts to a spoken-style language model. Since these two styles are largely different and thus direct transformation is difficult, we cascade two transformation methods; rule-based transformation to rewrite written-style texts to intermediate “verbatim” texts, and statistical transformation of language model from the verbatim style to the spoken style which is suitable for ASR. In an experimental evaluation on real lecture speech, the proposed transformation approach achieved higher performance than the conventional linear interpolation method.

Semi-automated update of automatic transcription system for the Japanese national congress
Update of acoustic and language models is vital to maintain performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. To alleviate efforts for updating models, we propose a “semi-automated” framework for the ASR system of the Japanese National Congress. The framework consists of our speaking-style transformation (SST) and lightly-supervised training (LSV) approaches, which can automatically ge...
متن کاملAutomatic transformation of lecture transcription into document style using statistical framework
This paper addresses automatic transformation from spoken style texts to written style texts. Exact transcriptions and speech recognition results of live lectures include many spoken language expressions, and thus, are not suitable for documents and need to be edited. In this paper, we present a method of applying of the statistical approach used in machine translation to this post-processing t...
متن کاملAutomatic transcription of lecture speech using topic-independent language modeling
We approach lecture speech recognition with a topicindependent language model and its adaptation. As lecture speech has its characteristic style that is different from newspapers and conversations, dedicated language modeling is needed. The problem is that, although lectures have many keywords specific to the topic and fields, available corpus of each domain is limited in size. Thus, we introdu...

The paper firstly addresses the current state of speech recognition using the “Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese (CSJ)”. It is shown that the large-scale corpus had strong impact in training acoustic and language models considering morphological and pronunciation variations which are characteristic to spontaneous Japanese. Unsupervised adaptation of these models and the speaking rate is also effec...

Introduction: Due to the high prevalence of communication disorders, augmentative and alternative communication methods are one the options ahead to solve the problems of these people. Since there are no complex tools for Persian-speaking children with communication disorders, we decided to design communication assistant software for these children that produces sound output. Materials and Meth...
