Discriminative training for complementariness in system combination
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, techniques of output combination from multiple speech recognizers for improved overall performance have gained popularity. Most commonly, the combined systems are established independently. This paper describes our attempt to directly target joint system performance in the discriminative training objective of acoustic model parameter estimation. It also states first promising results.

Discriminative Training of Accoustic Models for System Combination
In discriminative training methods, the objective function is designed to improve the performance of automatic speech recognition with reference to correct labels using a single system. On the other hand, system combination methods, which output refined hypotheses by a majority voting scheme, need to build multiple systems that generate complementary hypotheses. This paper aims to unify the bot...

متن کاملEffectiveness of dereverberation, feature transformation, discriminative training methods, and system combination approach for various reverberant environments
The recently released REverberant Voice Enhancement and Recognition Benchmark (REVERB) challenge includes a reverberant automatic speech recognition (ASR) task. This paper describes our proposed system based on multi-channel speech enhancement preprocessing and state-of-the-art ASR techniques. For preprocessing, we propose a single-channel dereverberation method with reverberation time estimati...
متن کاملDiscriminative model combination
Discriminative model combination is a new approach in the field of automatic speech recognition, which aims at an optimal integration of all given (acoustic and language) models into one log-linear posterior probability distribution. As opposed to the maximum entropy approach, the coefficients of the log-linear combination are optimized on training samples using discriminative methods to obtain...
