Speech Recognition of Non-native Speech Using Native and Non-native Acoustic Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
A speech recognition system is subjected to the speech of non-native speakers, using both native and non-native acoustic phone models. The problems involved with the mapping of phoneset from the nonnative to native language are investigated, and a detailed analysis of phone confusions is made. For Dutch speakers, British English acoustic models give the best word recognition results.

متن کاملComparison of acoustic model adaptation techniques on non-native speech
The performance of speech recognition systems is consistently poor on non-native speech. The challenge for non-native speech recognition is to maximize the recognition performance with small amount of non-native data available. In this paper we report on the acoustic modeling adaptation for the recognition of non-native speech. Using non-native data from German speakers, we investigate how bili...
متن کاملAnalysis and Modeling of Non-Native Speech for Automatic Speech Recognition
The performance of automatic speech recognizers has been observed to be dramatically worse for speakers with non-native accents than for native speakers. This poses a problem for many speech recognition systems, which need to handle both native and non-native speech. The problem is further complicated by the large number of non-native accents, which makes modeling separate accents difficult, as...

متن کاملNon-native English speech recognition using bilingual English lexicon and acoustic models
This paper proposes an English speech recognition system which can recognize both non-native (i.e. Japanese) and native English speakers’ pronunciation of English speech. The system uses a bilingual pronunciation lexicon in which each word has both English and Japanese phoneme transcriptions. The Japanese transcription is constructed considering typical Japanese pronunciation of English. Japane...
