Implicitly Supervised Language Model Adaptation for Meeting Transcription
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the use of meeting metadata, acquired using a computerized meeting organization and note-taking system, to improve automatic transcription of meetings. By applying a two-step language model adaptation process based on notes and agenda items, we were able to reduce perplexity by 9% and word error rate by 4% relative on a set of ten meetings recorded in-house. This approach can be used to leverage other types of metadata.

Implicitly-Supervised Learning in Spoken Language Interfaces: An Application to the Confidence Annotation Problem
In this paper we propose the use of a novel learning paradigm in spoken language interfaces – implicitly-supervised learning. The central idea is to extract a supervision signal online, directly from the user, from certain patterns that occur naturally in the conversation. The approach eliminates the need for developer supervision and facilitates online learning and adaptation. As a first step ...
متن کاملAn initial investigation of long-term adaptation for meeting transcription
Meeting transcription is a very useful and challenging task. The majority of research to date has focused on individual meeting, or only a small group of meetings. In many practical deployments, multiple related meetings will take place over a long period of time. This paper describes an initial investigation of how this long-term data can be used to improve meeting transcription. A corpus of t...
متن کاملEvaluating Unsupervised Language Model Adaptation Methods for Speaking Assessment
In automated speech assessment, adaptation of language models (LMs) to test questions is important to achieve high recognition accuracy However, for large-scale language tests, the ordinary supervised training, which uses an expensive and time-consuming manual transcription process, is hard to utilize for LM adaptation. In this paper, several LM adaptation methods that require either no manual ...
متن کاملAutomatic Transcription of Meetings Using Topic-oriented Language Model Adaptation
This paper presents an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system dedicated for meetings of the National Congress of Japan. The distinctive features of the congressional meeting speech are wide distribution and frequent change of topics. For more accurate transcription, such topics should be emphasized in a language model one after another. Therefore, we introduce two approaches for topic adapta...
متن کاملUnsupervised Approach of Data Selection for Language Model Adaptation using Generalized Word Posterior Probability
This paper reports an unsupervised approach toward data selection for language model adaptation that is used for improving spontaneous speech recognition in a speech-tospeech translation (S2ST) system. The approach is characterized by the following: 1) it obtains speech data from a real environment (sightseeing sites), in the travel domain, (2) it utilizes the recognition results of the above c...
