چکیده

In this paper we explore several options for cross-task adaptation in speech recognition and compare them to develop the new system from scratch. We compare cross-task MAP and MLLR adaptation, and both of them together, in two speech recognizers for air traffic control tasks, one for spontaneous speech and the other one for a command interface. We show how MLLR can even outperform MAP when a big number of transforms is used, how MLLR followed by MAP is the best option, and we also provide some hints of which are the best options to create the MLLR regression class trees. In all cases, we show the effectiveness of means and variance adaptation. For the command interface, we also include the comparison between MAP and MLLR for speaker adaptation using a variable amount of adaptation data.

Cross-Task Adaptation and Speaker Adaptation in Air Traffic Control Tasks

When we want to develop a recognition system for a new environment, we have to decide which is the best option in what respect to the acoustic modeling: developing acoustic models from scratch using the data available for the new environment or to do cross-task adaptation starting from reliable HMM models. In this paper, we show the performance of several alternatives, comparing cross-task MAP ...
