Feature mapping using far-field microphones for distant speech recognition

Acoustic modeling based on deep architectures has recently gained remarkable success, with substantial improvement of speech recognition accuracy in several automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks. For distant speech recognition, the multi-channel deep ne ...

Exploiting foreign resources for DNN-based ASR

David Imseng, Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner

Manual transcription of audio databases for the development of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems is a costly and time-consuming process. In the context of deriving acoustic models adapted to a specific application, or in low-resource scenarios, it ...

Applying Multi- and Cross-Lingual Stochastic Phone Space Transformations to Non-Native Speech Recognition

Hervé Bourlard, Mathew Magimai Doss, Philip Neil Garner, John David Scott Dines, David Imseng

In the context of hybrid HMM/MLP Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), this paper describes an investigation into a new type of stochastic phone space transformation, which maps "source" phone (or phone HMM state) posterior probabilities (as obtained at the ...

Tuning-Robust Initialization Methods for Speaker Diarization

David Imseng

This paper investigates a typical speaker diarization system regarding its robustness against initialization parameter variation and presents a method to reduce manual tuning of these values significantly. The behavior of an agglomerative hierarchical clus ...
