A language model (LM) is generated for each sentence and these models are combined with document LMs to take advantage of contextual information. A query expansion technique using class models is proposed and included in our framework. Finally, our method's impact on exact answer extraction is evaluated. We show that combining sentence LMs with document LMs significantly improves sentence retrieval performance, and that this sentence retrieval approach leads to better answer extraction performance.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"292 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121491428","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}

The Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between two hidden Markov models (HMMs) would be particularly useful in the fields of speech and image recognition. Whereas the KL divergence is tractable for many distributions, including Gaussians, it is not in general tractable for mixture models or HMMs. Recently, variational approximations have been introduced to efficiently compute the KL divergence and Bhattacharyya divergence between two mixture models, by reducing them to the divergences between the mixture components. Here we generalize these techniques to approach the divergence between HMMs using a recursive backward algorithm. Two such methods are introduced, one of which yields an upper bound on the KL divergence, the other of which yields a recursive closed-form solution. The KL and Bhattacharyya divergences, as well as a weighted edit-distance technique, are evaluated for the task of predicting the confusability of pairs of words.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124385471","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}

The decoder implements constrained source reordering on the input lattice and makes use of an outbound distortion model to score the possible reorderings. The phrase table, representing the decoding search space, is encoded as a weighted finite state acceptor which is determined and minimized. At a high level, the search proceeds by performing simultaneous transitions in two pairs of automata: (input lattice, phrase table FSM) and (phrase table FSM, target language model). An alternative decoding strategy that we explore is to break the search into two independent subproblems: first, we perform monotone lattice decoding and find the best foreign path through the ASR lattice and then, we decode this path with reordering using standard sentence-based SMT. We report experimental results on several testsets of a large scale Arabic-to-English speech translation task in the context of the global autonomous language exploitation (or GALE) DARPA project. The results indicate that, for monotone search, lattice-based decoding outperforms 1-best decoding whereas for search with reordering, only the second decoding strategy was found to be superior to 1-best decoding. In both cases, the improvements hold only for shallow lattices.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133681294","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}

It uses standard hidden Markov model structures, cepstral features and multiple hidden Markov models for both the speech and non-speech parts of the model. It is tested on a large number of real-world databases using noisy speech onset positions which were determined by forced alignment of lexical transcriptions with the recognition model. The ML trained model achieves low false rejection rates at the expense of high false acceptance rates. The discriminative training using the modified algorithm based on the maximum mutual information criterion reduces the false acceptance rates by a half, while preserving the low false rejection rates. Combining an energy based voice activity detector with the hidden Markov model based barge-in models achieves the best performance.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133540383","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}

Within applications such turns often seem favorable. Yet, high effectiveness of sub-turn entities is known. In this respect a two-stage approach is investigated to provide higher temporal resolution by chunking of speech-turns according to acoustic properties, and multi-instance learning for turn-mapping after individual chunk analysis. For chunking fast pre-segmentation into emotionally quasi-stationary segments by one-pass Viterbi beam search with token passing basing on MFCC is used. Chunk analysis is realized by brute-force large feature space construction with subsequent subset selection, SVM classification, and speaker normalization. Extensive tests reveal differences compared to one-stage processing. Alternatively, syllables are used for chunking.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133101078","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}

The system succeeds in learning sequences of localized time-frequency patterns which are highly interpretable from an acoustic-phonetic viewpoint.

One of the bottlenecks is that many names contain elements of a foreign language origin, and native speakers can adopt very different pronunciations of these elements, ranging from completely nativized to completely foreignized pronunciations. In this paper we further develop a recently proposed method for improving the recognition of foreign proper names spoken by native speakers. The main idea is to combine the standard acoustic model scores with scores emerging from a phonologically inspired back-off model that was trained on native speech only. This means that the proposed method does not require the development of any foreign phoneme models on foreign speech data. By applying our method on a baseline Dutch recognizer (comprising Dutch acoustic models) we could reduce the name error rate for French and English names by a considerable amount.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123965974","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}
