چکیده
This paper describes the research underway for the ESPRIT WERNICKE project. The project brings together a number of different groups from Europe and the US and focuses on extending the state-of-the-art for hybrid hidden Markov model/connectionist approaches to large vocabulary, continuous speech recognition. This paper describes the specific goals of the research and presents the work performed to date. Results are reported for the resource management talker-independent recognition task. The paper concludes with a discussion of the projected future work.

Large vocabulary speaker-independent continuous speech recognition with a new hybrid system based on MMI-neural networks
This paper presents a new hybrid system for speaker independent continuous speech recognition in a large vocabulary task. The hybrid system is a combination of context dependent discrete Hidden Markov Models and artificial neural networks that are trained by an information theory based algorithm. This algorithm maximizes the Mutual Information (MMI) between the network output and the phone desc...
متن کاملSpeaker Adaptation in Continuous Speech Recognition Using MLLR-Based MAP Estimation
A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...

متن کاملConnectionist Speaker Normalization and Its Applications to Speech Recognition
Speaker normalization may have a significant impact on both speakeradaptive and speaker-independent speech recognition. In this paper, a codeworddependent neural network (CDNN) is presented for speaker normalization. The network is used as a nonlinear mapping function to transform speech data between two speakers. The mapping function is characterized by two important properties. First, the ass...
