Unsupervised Acoustic Model Adaptati Minimizatio
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a new decoding method for unsupervised acoustic model adaptation is presented. In unsupervised adaptation framework, the effectiveness of adaptation process is greatly affected by the mis-recognized labels. Therefore, selection of the adaptation data guided by the confidence measures is effective in unsupervised adaptation. We propose phoneme error minimization framework for exact phoneme labels and use of phoneme-level confidence measures for improved unsupervised adaptation. Experimental results showed that the proposed method could reduce the mis-recognized labels in the adaptation process, and consequently improved the adaptation accuracy. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the proposed method is effective in an iterative unsupervised adaptation framework.

Speaker Verification with D Adaptati
This paper presents methods for adapting models in a data fusion-based speaker verification system. The models that are used in the data fusion system are the neural tree network (NTN), dynamic time warping (DTW), and hidden Markov model (HMM). The models provide information based on discriminant information, distortion measurements, and probabilistic evaluation, respectively. The parameters of...
متن کاملUnsupervised Testing Strategies for ASR
This paper describes unsupervised strategies for estimating relative accuracy differences between acoustic models or language models used for automatic speech recognition. To test acoustic models, the approach extends ideas used for unsupervised discriminative training to include a more explicit validation on held out data. To test language models, we use a dual interpretation of the same proce...
متن کاملUnsupervised acoustic model training using multiple seed ASR systems
Unsupervised acoustic modeling can offer a cost and time effective way of creating a solid acoustic model for any under-resourced language. This paper explores the novel idea of using two independent ASR systems to transcribe new speech data, align and filter the ASR hypotheses and use the presumably correct transcriptions to iteratively improve the two seed ASR systems. In parallel, the newly ...

متن کاملUnsupervised acoustic model adaptation for multi-origin non native ASR
To date, the performance of speech and language recognition systems is poor on non-native speech. The challenge for nonnative speech recognition is to maximize the accuracy of a speech recognition system when only a small amount of nonnative data is available. We report on the acoustic model adaptation for improving the recognition of non-native speech in English, French and Vietnamese, spoken ...
