The LIMSI RT06s Lecture Transcription System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes recent research carried out in the context of the FP6 Integrated Project CHIL in developing a system to automatically transcribe lectures and presentations. Widely available corpora were used to train both the acoustic and language models, since only a small amount of CHIL data was available for system development. Acoustic model training made use of the transcribed portion of the TED corpus of Eurospeech recordings, as well as the ICSI, ISL, and NIST meeting corpora. For language model training, text materials were extracted from a variety of on-line conference proceedings. Experimental results are reported for close-talking and far-field microphones on development and evaluation data.

The paper describes the IBM systems submitted to the NIST Rich Transcription 2007 (RT07) evaluation campaign for the speechto-text (STT) and speaker-attributed speech-to-text (SASTT) tasks on the lecture meeting domain. Three testing conditions are considered, namely the multiple distant microphone (MDM), single distant microphone (SDM), and individual headset microphone (IHM) ones – the latter...

The LIMSI RT-07S speaker diarization system for the conference and lecture meetings is presented in this paper. This system builds upon the RT06S diarization system designed for lecture data. The baseline system combines agglomerative clustering based on Bayesian information criterion (BIC) with a second clustering using state-of-the-art speaker identification (SID) techniques. Since the baseli...

In this paper, we describe the IBM system submitted to the NIST Rich Transcription Spring 2006 (RT06s) evaluation campaign for automatic speech activity detection (SAD). This SAD system has been developed and evaluated on CHIL lecture meeting data using far-field microphone sensors, namely a single distant microphone (SDM) configuration and a multiple distant microphone (MDM) condition. The IBM...

Speech processing of lectures recorded inside smart rooms has recently attracted much interest. In particular, the topic has been central to the Rich Transcription (RT) Meeting Recognition Evaluation campaign series, sponsored by NIST, with emphasis placed on benchmarking speech activity detection (SAD), speaker diarization (SPKR), speech-to-text (STT), and speakerattributed STT (SASTT) technol...

In this paper we present the ICSI speaker diarization system submitted for the NIST Rich Transcription evaluation (RT06s) [1] conducted on the meetings environment. This is a set of yearly evaluations which in the last two years have included speaker diarization of two kinds of distinct meetings: conference room and lecture room. The system presented focuses on being robust to changes in the me...
