An Experimental Evaluation of Keyword-Filler Hidden Markov Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the results of a small study involving the use of keyword-filler hidden Markov models (HMM) for spotting keywords in continuous speech. The performance dependence on the amount of keyword training data and the choice of model parameters is documented. Also, we demonstrate a strong correlation between individual keyword spotting performance and median duration of that keyword. This dependence highlights the inadequacy of reporting system performance in terms of averages over arbitrary keyword sets, which is typically done for this task.

An Efficient Keyword Spotting Techni Language for Filler Mo
The task of keyword spotting is to detect a set of keywords in the input continuous speech. In a keyword spotter, not only the keywords, but also the non-keyword intervals must be modeled. For this purpose, filler (or garbage) models are used. To date, most of the keyword spotters have been based on hidden Markov models (HMM). More specifically, a set of HMM is used as garbage models. In this p...
متن کاملSpanish Keyword Spotting System Based on Filler Models, Pseudo N-gram Language Model and a Confidence Measure
In order to organize efficiently lots of hours of audio contents such as meetings, radio news, search for spoken keywords is essential. An approach uses filler models to account for non-keyword intervals. Another approach uses a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system (LVCSR) which retrieves a word string and then search for the keywords in this string. This approach yields high p...

In this paper, a new hybrid approach is presented for keyword spotting. The proposed Method is based on Hidden Markov Mode (HMM) and is performed in two stages. In the first stage by using phoneme models, a series of candidate keyword(s) is recognized. In the second stage, word models are used to decide on acceptance or rejection of each candidate keyword. Two different methods are presented in...
متن کاملLexical Access-based Confidence Measure for a Spanish Keyword Spotting System
Keyword spotting deals with the search of a reduced set of keywords in audio content. Phone Lattice-based approaches are very fast but achieve poor results. HMM-based keyword spotting systems deal with filler models to absorb the Out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words and achieve best results although they are slower. We propose a technique which combines them in order to perform a confidence measure to...
متن کاملHybrid Neural-Network/HMM Approach for Out-Of-Vocabulary Words Rejection in Mandarin Place Name Recognition
In this paper we address the problem of rejecting Out-Of-Vocabulary words in speaker-independent Mandarin place name recognition. We integrate neural network and Hidden Markov Models in an attempt to utilize the strength of both. HMM based acoustic models including keyword models, filler models, and an anti-keyword model were trained to meet our needs. Statistical features are fed to a neural n...
