Fast decoding for open vocabulary spoken term detection

چکیده
Information retrieval and spoken-term detection from audio such as broadcast news, telephone conversations, conference calls, and meetings are of great interest to the academic, government, and business communities. Motivated by the requirement for high-quality indexes, this study explores the effect of using both word and sub-word information to find in-vocabulary and OOV query terms. It also explores the trade-off between search accuracy and the speed of audio transcription. We present a novel, vocabulary independent, hybrid LVCSR approach to audio indexing and search and show that using phonetic confusions derived from posterior probabilities estimated by a neural network in the retrieval of OOV queries can help in reducing misses. These methods are evaluated on data sets from the 2006 NIST STD task.

Hybrid word-subword decoding for spoken term detection
This paper deals with a hybrid word-subword recognition system for spoken term detection. The decoding is driven by a hybrid recognition network and the decoder directly produces hybrid word-subword lattices. One phone and two multigram models were tested to represent sub-word units. The systems were evaluated in terms of spoken term detection accuracy and the size of index. We concluded that t...

This paper details the submission from the Speech and Audio Research Lab of Queensland University of Technology (QUT) to the inaugural 2006 NIST Spoken Term Detection Evaluation. The task involved accurately locating the occurrences of a specified list of English terms in a given corpus of broadcast news and conversational telephone speech. The QUT system uses phonetic decoding and Dynamic Matc...
متن کاملFast and Accurate Phonetic Spoken Term Detection
For the first time in human history, large volumes of spoken audio are being broadcast, made available on the internet, archived, and monitored for surveillance every day. New technologies are urgently required to unlock these vast and powerful stores of information. Spoken Term Detection (STD) systems provide access to speech collections by detecting individual occurrences of specified search ...
متن کاملFast subword-based approach for open vocabulary spoken term detection
This paper describes an efficient two-stage approach using sub-phonetic segment N-gram index and shift continuous dynamic programming for open vocabulary spoken term detection. With this two-stage search, we attempt to improve performance in both retrieval accuracy and process time. In the speech recognition process, a more sophisticated subword that is shorter than phonemes is used to minimize...
متن کاملAn approach for efficient open vocabulary spoken term detection
A hybrid two-pass approach for facilitating fast and efficient open vocabulary spoken term detection (STD) is presented in this paper. A large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) system is deployed for producing word lattices from audio recordings. An index construction technique is used for facilitating very fast search of lattices for finding occurrences of both in vocabulary (IV...
