Parsing-based objective functions for speech recognition in translation applications
This paper looks at a parsing-based alternative to word error rate (WER) for optimizing recognition, SParseval, hypothesizing that it may be a better objective for applications su...

Irrelevant variability normalization based HMM training using map estimation of feature transforms for robust speech recognition
In the past several years, we’ve been studying feature transformation (FT) approaches to robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) which can compensate for possible “distortio...

Name-aware speech recognition for interactive question answering
In this work we show how interactivity in a voice-enabled question answering application may improve speech recognition. We allow the user to provide a target named entity before ...

Listener detection of talker stress in low-rate coded speech
We describe an experiment where listeners were asked to detect two specific forms of stress in talkers’ recorded voices heard via six different simulated communication systems. ...
