Vocabulary-based acoustic model trim down and task adaptation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a vocabulary trim down algorithm is proposed in decision tree-based acoustic model to make the model more close to the given task. Using this trim down model as seed model to do task adaptation is also presented. Based on this framework, users can configure the acoustic model by themselves according to their resources (such as vocabulary knowledge, a little amount task specific data, the model size, etc.). Experimental results show that the vocabulary trim down algorithm made the model size being cut off 70% with almost the same accuracy of general model. After adapted by 143 minutes task specific data 27% word error rate reduction can be achieved comparing with the retrained model (using original general purpose data plus all available task specific data) in our Farewell99 dialog system.

A posteriori and a priori transformations for speaker adaptation in large vocabulary speech recognition systems
The speaker-dependent HMM-based recognizers gives lower word error rates in comparison with the corresponding speaker-independent recognizers. The aim of speaker adaptation techniques is to enhance the speakerindependent acoustic models to bring their recognition accuracy as close as possible to the one obtained with speaker-dependent models. In this paper, we propose a method using test and tr...
متن کاملDiscriminative MCE-based speaker adaptation of acoustic models for a spoken lecture processing task
This paper investigates the use of minimum classification error (MCE) training in conjunction with speaker adaptation for the large vocabulary speech recognition task of lecture transcription. Emphasis is placed on the case of supervised adaptation, though an examination of the unsupervised case is also conducted. This work builds upon our previous work using MCE training to construct speaker i...
متن کاملNew Adaptation Techniques for Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition
This paper proposes several new speaker adaptation techniques to improve the large vocabulary continuous speech recognition accuracy. These include, discriminative adaptation, state-quality measure based adaptation, and N-best hypothesis based adaptation schemes. We propose to incorporate the MMIE criterion in the computation of the posterior counts from the adaptation data. We present a new me...
متن کاملFrom generic to task-oriented speech recognition : French experience in the NESPOLE! European project
This paper presents CLIPS laboratory activities in speech recognition related to language model adaptation and acoustic model adaptation in the NESPOLE! European project. ASR system needed to be adapted in two ways. The language model had to deal with task specific vocabulary and the acoustic model had to be robust to VoIP (Voice over IP) speech. It was shown that Internet, as a very large sour...
متن کاملRapid adaptation for deep neural networks through multi-task learning
We propose a novel approach to addressing the adaptation effectiveness issue in parameter adaptation for deep neural network (DNN) based acoustic models for automatic speech recognition by adding one or more small auxiliary output layers modeling broad acoustic units, such as mono-phones or tied-state (often called senone) clusters. In scenarios with a limited amount of available adaptation dat...
