A study of irrelevant variability normalization based training and unsupervised online adaptation for LVCSR
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an experimental study of a maximum likelihood (ML) approach to irrelevant variability normalization (IVN) based training and unsupervised online adaptation for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. A movingwindow based frame labeling method is used for acoustic sniffing. The IVN-based approach achieves a 10% relative word error rate reduction over an ML-trained baseline system on a Switchboard-1 conversational telephone speech transcription task.

A Study on Speaker Normalized MLP Features in LVCSR
Different normalization methods are applied in recent Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition Systems (LVCSR) to reduce the influence of speaker variability on the acoustic models. In this paper we investigate the use of Vocal Tract Length Normalization (VTLN) and Speaker Adaptive Training (SAT) in Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) feature extraction on an English task. We achieve significant...
متن کاملAn Empirical Study of Word Error Minimization Approaches for Mandarin Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition
This paper presents an empirical study of word error minimization approaches for Mandarin large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR). First, the minimum phone error (MPE) criterion, which is one of the most popular discriminative training criteria, is extensively investigated for both acoustic model training and adaptation in a Mandarin LVCSR system. Second, the word error minimizat...
متن کاملBotOnus: an online unsupervised method for Botnet detection
Botnets are recognized as one of the most dangerous threats to the Internet infrastructure. They are used for malicious activities such as launching distributed denial of service attacks, sending spam, and leaking personal information. Existing botnet detection methods produce a number of good ideas, but they are far from complete yet, since most of them cannot detect botnets in an early stage ...
متن کاملFast Unsupervised Automobile Insurance Fraud Detection Based on Spectral Ranking of Anomalies
Collecting insurance fraud samples is costly and if performed manually is very time consuming. This issue suggests usage of unsupervised models. One of the accurate methods in this regards is Spectral Ranking of Anomalies (SRA) that is shown to work better than other methods for auto insurance fraud detection specifically. However, this approach is not scalable to large samples and is not appro...
متن کاملAn Unsupervised Speaker Adaptation Method for Lecture-Style Spontaneous Speech Recognition Using Multiple Recognition Systems
This paper describes an accurate unsupervised speaker adaptation method for lecture style spontaneous speech recognition using multiple LVCSR systems. In an unsupervised speaker adaptation framework, the improvement of recognition performance by adapting acoustic models remarkably depends on the accuracy of labels such as phonemes and syllables. Therefore, extraction of the adaptation data guid...
