Vocabulary Independent Speech Recognition Using Particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is presented for performing speech recognition that is not dependent on a fixed word vocabulary. Particles are used as the recognition units in a speech recognition system which permits word-vocabulary independent speech decoding. A particle represents a concatenated phone sequence. Each string of particles that represents a word in the one-best hypothesis from the particle speech recognizer is expanded into a list of phonetically similar word candidates using a phone confusion matrix. The resulting word graph is then re-decoded using a word language model to produce the final word hypothesis. Preliminary results on the DARPA HUB4 97 and 98 evaluation sets using word bigram redecoding of the particle hypothesis show a WER of between 2.2% and 2.9% higher than using a word bigram speech recognizer of comparable complexity. The method has potential applications in spoken document retrieval for recovering out-of-vocabulary words and also in client-server based speech recognition.

The article presents a limited-vocabulary speaker independent continuous Estonian speech recognition system based on hidden Markov models. The system is trained using an annotated Estonian speech database of 60 speakers, approximately 4 hours in duration. Words are modelled using clustered triphones with multiple Gaussian mixture components. The system is evaluated using a number recognition ta...

Experiments on Speaker-independent V Using In-vehicle Hands
For speaker-independent voice command recognition, the acoustic models can be trained using either task-independent speech corpora or task-specific speech corpora. The first alternative could reuse available speech databases, without collecting task-specific speech data. On the other hand, it is expected to give lower recognition performance due to acoustic and vocabulary mismatches between the...
