Les modèles acoustiques BLSTM-CTC prennent de plus en plus d’importance dans les systèmes de reconnaissance automatique de la parole, mais peu d’études ont été menées jusqu’ici pour y appliquer des techniques d’adaptation au locuteur. Dans cet article, nous explorons l’utilisation de trois techniques différentes : l’approche par feature space maximum likelihood linear regression (fMLLR), celle s’appuyant sur l’utilisation de i-vectors, et une approche exploitant la technique d’adaptation maximum a posteriori (MAP) appliquée sur des modèles gaussiens dont sont dérivés des paramètres fournis au modèles acoustiques neuronaux. Enfin, cette étude présente une comparaison du comportement des modèles BLSTM-CTC avec celui de modèles markoviens associés à un time-delay neural network (TDNN). of feature-space speaker adaptation for end-to-end acoustic models. This paper investigates speaker adaptation techniques for bidirectional long short term memory (BLSTM) recurrent neural network based acoustic models trained with the connectionist temporal classification (CTC) objective function. BLSTM-CTC AMs play an important role in end-to-end automatic speech recognition systems. However, there is a lack of research in speaker adaptation algorithms for these models. We explore three different feature-space adaptation approaches for CTC acoustic models : feature-space maximum linear regression, i-vector based adaptation, and maximum a posteriori adaptation using GMM-derived features. In addition, the adaptation behavior is compared for BLSTM-CTC models and time-delay neural network (TDNN) models trained with the cross-entropy criterion.","PeriodicalId":310294,"journal":{"name":"XXXIIe Journées d’Études sur la Parole","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129593941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, we monthly recorded 4 Canadian-French-speaking children during speech and meal activities at 8, 10, 12 and 14 months of age.

De nombreuses études ont analysé leurs caractéristiques en se fondant principalement sur leurs propriétés acoustiques. L’objectif de cette étude est d’enrichir la description acoustique des disfluences produites par quatre locuteurs en parole spontanée en la corrélant à une description articulatoire, obtenue à partir d’un articulographe électromagnétique (EMA), synchronisée avec les données acoustiques. Pour ce faire, nous avons observé leur production à l’aide de deux différentes méthodes : une étude articulatoire effectuée de façon automatique à partir de la vitesse des mouvements des articulateurs et une observation experte du mouvement de ces mêmes articulateurs. Les résultats de cette étude exploratoire montrent l’existence de plusieurs configurations articulatoires pour un même type perçu de disfluence et inversement, plusieurs catégories acoustiques peuvent parfois être traduites par une même configuration articulatoire. De même, l’anticipation du geste articulatoire relatif au phone subséquent semble dépendre de l’activité articulatoire supra-glottique. An exploratory study of articulatory events during pause realization in spontaneous speech. Disfluencies, as a momentary stop event in a discourse, are considered as a constitutive part of speech production. Numerous studies analyzed their specificities by relying mainly on their acoustic properties. The goal of the presented study is to extend the acoustic analysis by including a articulatory description. This description is obtained using Electro-Magnetic Articulography (EMA) synchronized with the acoustic data. To achieve this study, we have observed the production of the disfluencies following two complementary methodologies: an automatic articulatory study based on the quantification of the velocity of the articulators and an expert subjective analysis of the movement of these articulators. The results of this exploratory study show the same perceived disfluency category can rely on multiple articulatory configurations. Multiple acoustic categories can also be realized following a same articulatory configuration. Furthermore, the anticipation of the subsequent gesture seems to be dependent on the supraglottic activity.","PeriodicalId":310294,"journal":{"name":"XXXIIe Journées d’Études sur la Parole","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123378035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
