Research on speech units modeling in continuous speech recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is often expedient to consider using more than one single HMM to characterize a speech unit. In this paper, we suggest a new speech units modeling method based on analysis of parameters of HMMs obtained by preliminary training. By analyzing the emission probability function of a state of a HMM obtained by segmental k-means training, we can obtain the distribution of the source data and determine the splitting of that model. The experimental results, based on totally 264,500 phoneme occurring in the 9180 sentences from 60 speakers, showed that approximate 10% improvement of the recognition rate of the basic phoneme was achieved.

Improved Bayesian Training for Context-Dependent Modeling in Continuous Persian Speech Recognition
Context-dependent modeling is a widely used technique for better phone modeling in continuous speech recognition. While different types of context-dependent models have been used, triphones have been known as the most effective ones. In this paper, a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimation approach has been used to estimate the parameters of the untied triphone model set used in data-driven clust...
متن کاملSpeaker Adaptation in Continuous Speech Recognition Using MLLR-Based MAP Estimation
A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...

متن کاملEffects of ageing on speed and temporal resolution of speech stimuli in older adults
Background: According to previous studies, most of the speech recognition disorders in older adults are the results of deficits in audibility and auditory temporal resolution. In this paper, the effect of ageing on timecompressed speech and auditory temporal resolution by word recognition in continuous and interrupted noise was studied. Methods: A time-compressed speech test (TCST) w...
متن کاملModeling context-dependent phonetic units in a continuous speech recognition system for Mandarin Chinese
We study the problem of phonetic modeling for continuous Mandarin speech recognition by providing a systematic performance comparison for systems based on following primitive speech units: syllable, demi-syllable (Initials and Finals), context-independent phones, left-or-right context-dependentphones (diphones), and leftand-right context-dependent phones (triphones). In our speakerdependent con...
