Bob Speaks Kaldi

چکیده
This paper introduces and demonstrates Kaldi integration into Bob signal-processing and machine learning toolbox. The motivation for this integration is two-fold. Firstly, Bob benefits from using advanced speech processing tools developed in Kaldi. Secondly, Kaldi benefits from using complementary Bob modules, such as modulation-based VAD with an adaptive thresholding. In addition, Bob is designed as an open science tool, and this integration might offer to the Kaldi speech community a framework for better reproducibility of state-of-the-art research results.

Pointer chasing via triangular discrimination
We prove an essentially sharp Ω̃(n/k) lower bound on the k-round distributional complexity of the k-step pointer chasing problem under the uniform distribution, when Bob speaks first. This is an improvement over Nisan and Wigderson’s Ω̃(n/k2) lower bound. A key part of the proof is using triangular discrimination instead of total variation distance; this idea may be useful elsewhere.
متن کاملKaldi+PDNN: Building DNN-based ASR Systems with Kaldi and PDNN
The Kaldi 1 toolkit is becoming popular for constructing automated speech recognition (ASR) systems. Meanwhile, in recent years, deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown state-of-the-art performance on various ASR tasks. This document describes our recipes to implement fully-fledged DNN acoustic modeling using Kaldi and PDNN. PDNN is a lightweight deep learning toolkit developed under the Theano ...
متن کاملTper Hcaeser Pidi Implementation of the Standard I-vector System for the Kaldi Speech Recognition Toolkit
This report describes implementation of the standard i-vector-PLDA framework for the Kaldi speech recognition toolkit. The current existing speaker recognition system implementation is based on the Subspace Gaussian Mixture Model (SGMM) technique although it shares many similarities with the standard implementation. In our implementation, we modified the code so that it mimics the standard algo...
متن کاملIntegration of an On-line Kaldi Speech Recogniser to the Alex Dialogue Systems Framework
This paper describes the integration of an on-line Kaldi speech recogniser into the Alex Dialogue Systems Framework (ADSF). As the Kaldi OnlineLatgenRecogniser is written in C++, we first developed a Python wrapper for the recogniser so that the ADSF, written in Python, could interface with it. Training scripts for acoustic and language modelling were developed and integrated into ADSF, and aco...
متن کاملHow to Add Word Classes to the Kaldi Speech Recognition Toolkit
The paper explains and illustrates how the concept of word classes can be added to the widely used open-source speech recognition toolkit Kaldi. The suggested extensions to existing Kaldi recipes are limited to the word-level grammar (G) and the pronunciation lexicon (L) models. The implementation to modify the weighted finite state transducers employed in Kaldi makes use of the OpenFST library...
