Results of the n-best 2008 dutch speech recognition evaluation

چکیده
In this paper we report the results of a Dutch speech recognition system evaluation held in 2008. The evaluation contained mate rial in two domains: Broadcast News (BN) and Conversational Telephone Speech (CTS) and in two main accent regions (Flem ish and Dutch). In total 7 sites submitted recognition results to the evaluation, totalling 58 different submissions in the various conditions. Best performances ranged from 15.9 % word error rate for BN, Flemish to 46.1 % for CTS, Flemish. This evalua tion is the first of its kind for the Dutch language.

N-best: the northern- and southern-dutch benchmark evaluation of speech recognition technology
In this paper, we describe N-best 2008, the first Large Vocabulary Speech Recognition (LVCSR) benchmark evaluation held for the Dutch language. Both the accent as spoken in the Netherlands (Northern-Dutch) and in Belgium (Southern-Dutch or Flemish), will be evaluated. The evaluation tasks are broadcast news (BN) and conversational telephone speech (CTS). The N-best evaluation will take place in...
متن کاملSHoUT, the university of twente submission to the n-best 2008 speech recognition evaluation for dutch
In this paper we present our primary submission to the first Dutch and Flemish large vocabulary continuous speech recognition benchmark, N-Best. We describe our system workflow, the models we created for the four evaluation tasks and how we approached the problem of compounding that is typical for a language such as Dutch. We present the evaluation results and our post-evaluation analysis.

In 2005, the Flemish/Dutch programme STEVIN supported the project N-Best which has the goal to evaluate the performance of present-day large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) systems for the Dutch language. For a number of years, several research groups in Flanders and the Netherlands have studied various aspects of LVCSR systems for Dutch. However, sofar is is hard to compare th...
متن کاملA comparison of word graph and n-best list based confidence measures
In this paper we present and compare several confidence measures for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. We show that posterior word probabilities computed on word graphs and N-best lists clearly outperform non-probabilistic confidence measures, e.g. the acoustic stability and the hypothesis density. In addition, we prove that the estimation of posterior word probabilities on word g...
متن کاملAn Information-Theoretic Discussion of Convolutional Bottleneck Features for Robust Speech Recognition
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown their performance in speech recognition systems for extracting features, and also acoustic modeling. In addition, CNNs have been used for robust speech recognition and competitive results have been reported. Convolutive Bottleneck Network (CBN) is a kind of CNNs which has a bottleneck layer among its fully connected layers. The bottleneck fea...
