Robust Adaptation to Non-Native Accents in Automatic Speech Recognition

 (Google eBook)
Front Cover
0 Reviews
Springer, 2002 - 144 pages
Speech recognition technology is being increasingly employed in human-machine interfaces. A remaining problem however is the robustness of this technology to non-native accents, which still cause considerable difficulties for current systems.In this book, methods to overcome this problem are described. A speaker adaptation algorithm that is capable of adapting to the current speaker with just a few words of speaker-specific data based on the MLLR principle is developed and combined with confidence measures that focus on phone durations as well as on acoustic features. Furthermore, a specific pronunciation modelling technique that allows the automatic derivation of non-native pronunciations without using non-native data is described and combined with the previous techniques to produce a robust adaptation to non-native accents in an automatic speech recognition system.

Page 41 - conducts adaptation on the phoneme level. Although yielding a phoneme specific and thus finer adaptation than MLLR, the disadvantage of MAP is that it only updates the parameters of those phonemes that were observed in the adaptation data. As a consequence it needs a lot of adaptation data to reliably re-estimate the parameters for all phonemes used in the system, which takes
