Generating proper name pro for automatic speech
Generating correct pronunciation of proper names remains one of the most difficult tasks in text-to-phoneme transcription. Although phonetic rules can be efficient in processing proper names of one language, foreign family names cannot be always correctly generated without additional pronunciation rules. The present study addresses the problem of pronunciation variants for French and foreign fa...
متن کاملTime-frequency distributions for automatic speech recognition
The use of general time-frequency distributions as features for automatic speech recognition (ASR) is discussed in the context of hidden Markov classifiers. Short-time averages of quadratic operators, e.g., energy spectrum, generalized first spectral moments, and short-time averages of the instantaneous frequency, are compared to the standard front end features, and applied to ASR. Theoretical ...
متن کاملEfficient Robust Proper Learning of Log-concave Distributions
We study the robust proper learning of univariate log-concave distributions (over continuous and discrete domains). Given a set of samples drawn from an unknown target distribution, we want to compute a log-concave hypothesis distribution that is as close as possible to the target, in total variation distance. In this work, we give the first computationally efficient algorithm for this learning...
متن کاملMAP speaker adaptation of state duration distributions for speech recognition
This paper presents a framework for maximum a posteriori (MAP) speaker adaptation of state duration distributions in hidden Markov models (HMM). Four key issues of MAP estimation, namely analysis and modeling of state duration distributions, the choice of prior distribution, the specification of the parameters of the prior density and the evaluation of the MAP estimates, are tackled. Moreover, ...
