In particular, we test the explanatory power schematicity continuum, one central assumptions within approaches, in regard these effects. doing so, better understand how influences transfer as well learn more about cognitive mechanism itself. Design: empirical focus on native German spea...

We propose a method to adapt acoustic models for robust speech recognition in real environments using data from other languages. In real-world speech recognition systems, we can effectively adapt acoustic models using the speech data logged by the system. However, when developing a system for a new language, this step is impossible since we have no such speech data for it. Assuming that similar...
