Parallels between HSR and ASR: how ASR can contribute to HSR
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we illustrate the close parallels between the research fields of human speech recognition (HSR) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) using a computational model of human word recognition, SpeM, which was built using techniques from ASR. We show that ASR has proven to be useful for improving models of HSR by relieving them of some of their shortcomings. However, in order to build an integrated computational model of all aspects of HSR, a lot of issues remain to be resolved. In this process, ASR algorithms and techniques definitely can play an important role.

How Should a Speech Recognizer Work?
Although researchers studying human speech recognition (HSR) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) share a common interest in how information processing systems (human or machine) recognize spoken language, there is little communication between the two disciplines. We suggest that this lack of communication follows largely from the fact that research in these related fields has focused on the ...
متن کاملA Human-machine Comparison in Speech Recognition Based on a Logatome Corpus
In this study, a fair comparison of human and machine speech recognition is established by using the same paradigms for human speech recognition (HSR) and automatic speech recognition (ASR). In order to ensure equal conditions, a speech database specifically designed for this task is used. The results for HSR and ASR are broken down into several intrinsic variabilities like speaking rate, speak...
متن کاملListening in the Dips: Comparing Relevant Features for Speech Recognition in Humans and Machines
In recent years, automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems gradually decreased (and for some tasks closed) the gap between human and automatic speech recognition. However, it is unclear if similar performance implies humans and ASR systems to rely on similar signal cues. In the current study, ASR and HSR are compared using speech material from a matrix sentence test mixed with either a station...
متن کاملHow to Handle Pronunciation Variation in Asr: by Storing Episodes in Memory?
Almost all current automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems use a similar paradigm [3, 51, 52], which will be referred to here briefly as the ‘invariant approach’. Despite intensive research, ASR performance is still at least an order of magnitude lower than that of human speech recognition (HSR). The difficulties encountered in improving ASR performance, in combination with the awareness tha...
متن کاملSession 2pSCa: Speech Communication 2pSCa2. Improving automatic speech recognition by learning from human errors
This work presents a series of experiments that compare the performance of human speech recognition (HSR) and automatic speech recognition (ASR). The goal of this line of research is to learn from the differences between HSR and ASR, and to use this knowledge to incorporate new signal processing strategies from the human auditory system in automatic classifiers. A database with noisy nonsense u...
