Resegmentation of SWITCHBOARD
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SWITCHBOARD (SWB) corpus is one of the most important benchmarks for recognition tasks involving large vocabulary conversational speech (LVCSR). The high error rates on SWB are largely attributable to an acoustic model mismatch, the high frequency of poorly articulated monosyllabic words, and large variations in pronunciations. It is imperative to improve the quality of segmentations and transcriptions of the training data to achieve better acoustic modeling. By adapting existing acoustic models to only a small subset of such improved transcriptions, we have achieved a 2% absolute improvement in performance.

Restricted cascade and wreath products of fuzzy finite switchboard state machines
A finite switchboard state machine is a specialized finite state machine. It is built by binding the concepts of switching state machines and commutative state machines. The main purpose of this paper is to give a specific algorithm for fuzzy finite switchboard state machine and also, investigates the concepts of switching relation, covering, restricted cascade products and wreath products of f...
متن کاملA resegmentation‐shift model for vertebral patterning
Segmentation of the vertebrate body axis is established in the embryo by formation of somites, which give rise to the axial muscles (myotome) and vertebrae (sclerotome). To allow a muscle to attach to two successive vertebrae, the myotome and sclerotome must be repositioned by half a segment with respect to each other. Two main models have been put forward: 'resegmentation' proposes that each h...
متن کاملThe developmental fate of the rostral/caudal half of a somite for vertebra and rib formation: experimental confirmation of the resegmentation theory using chick-quail chimeras
To determine whether resegmentation of somites forms the axial skeleton, we traced the development of the rostral and the caudal half of a somite during skeletogenesis in chick-quail chimeras by replacing the rostral or caudal half of a newly formed chick somite with that of a quail somite. The rostral half-somite transplant formed the caudal half of the vertebral body, the entire spinous proce...

متن کاملInvestigation of Segmentation in i-Vector Based Speaker Diarization of Telephone Speech
The goal of this paper is to evaluate the contribution of speaker change detection (SCD) to the performance of a speaker diarization system in the telephone domain. We compare the overall performance of an i-vector based system using both SCD-based segmentation and a naive constant length segmentation with overlapping segments. The diarization system performs K-means clustering of i-vectors whi...
