This paper proposes a method to optimize Viterbi beam search based on search error risk minimization in large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR). Most speech recogni...
The concept of speaker recognition using i-vectors was recently introduced offering state-of-the-art performance. An i-vector is a compact representation of a speaker’s utteranc...
We present our experiments in context-free recognition of non-lexical responses. Non-lexical verbal responses such as mmm-hmm or uh-huh are used by listeners to signal confirmati...
It is well known that frame independence assumption is a fundamental limitation of current HMM based speech recognition systems. By treating each speech frame independently, HMMs ...
The performance of a speech recognition system may be degraded even without any background noise because of the linear or non-linear distortions incurred by recording devices or r...
