چکیده
A Conditional Random Field is a mathematical model for sequences that is similar in many ways to a Hidden Markov Model, but is discriminative rather than generative in nature. In this paper, we explore the application of the CRF model to ASR processing of discriminative phonetic features by building a system that performs first-pass phonetic recognition using discriminatively trained phonetic features. With this system, we show that this CRF model achieves an accuracy level in a phone recognition task that is superior to a similarly trained HMM model.

Combining phonetic attributes using conditional random fields
A Conditional Random Field is a mathematical model for sequences that is similar in many ways to a Hidden Markov Model, but is discriminative rather than generative in nature. Here we explore the application of the CRF model to ASR processing by building a system that performs first-pass phonetic recogintion using discriminatively trained phonetic attributes.

متن کاملProceedings of Meetings on Acoustics
Phonetic convergence occurs both when individuals interact in conversation, and when listeners rapidly repeat words presented over headphones. Results from multiple studies examining phonetic convergence offer an array of often confusing and disparate findings. Reconciling such diverse findings is difficult without a clear rationale for engaging in one acoustic measure over another. The current...
متن کاملStatistical trajectory models for phonetic recognition
The main goal of this work is to develop an alternative methodology for acoustic{ phonetic modelling of speech sounds. The approach utilizes a segment{based framework to capture the dynamical behavior and statistical dependencies of the acoustic attributes used to represent the speech waveform. Temporal behavior is modelled explicitly by creating dynamic tracks of the acoustic attributes used t...
متن کاملDetection-based ASR in the automatic speech attribute transcription project
We present methods of detector design in the Automatic Speech Attribute Transcription project. This paper details the results of a student-led, cross-site collaboration between Georgia Institute of Technology, The Ohio State University and Rutgers University. The work reported in this paper describes and evaluates the detection-based ASR paradigm and discusses phonetic attribute classes, method...
متن کاملOn the perception of similarity among talkers.
A listener who recognizes a talker notices characteristic attributes of the talker's speech despite the novelty of each utterance. Accounts of talker perception have often presumed that consistent aspects of an individual's speech, termed indexical properties, are ascribable to a talker's unique anatomy or consistent vocal posture distinct from acoustic correlates of phonetic contrasts. Accordi...
