This system was used in the Global Autonomous Language Exploitation (GALE) Go/No-Go Translation Evaluation 2007. Using a two-pass approach, we first generate n-best translation candidates and then rerank these candidates using additional models. We give a short review of the decoder as well as of the models used in both passes. We stress the difficulties of spoken language translation, i.e. how to combine the recognition and translation systems and how to compensate for missing punctuation. In addition, we cover our work on domain adaptation for the applied language models. We present translation results for the official GALE 2006 evaluation set and the GALE 2007 development set.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"57 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":"126409212","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}

Data is used to train models (e.g. acoustic models) and is 'forgotten'. Data is generated on-line from the different components of the SDS system, e.g. the dialog manager, as well as from the world it is interacting with (e.g. news streams, ambient sensors etc.). The data is used to evaluate and analyze conversational systems both on-line and off-line. We need to be able query such heterogeneous data for further processing. In this paper we present an approach with two novel components: first, an architecture for SDSs that takes a data-centric view, ensuring persistency and consistency of data as it is generated. The architecture is centered around a database that stores dialog data beyond the lifetime of individual dialog sessions, facilitating dialog mining, annotation, and logging. Second, we take advantage of the state-fullness of the data-centric architecture by means of a lightweight, reactive and inference-based dialog manager that itself is stateless. The feasibility of our approach has been validated within a prototype of a phone-based university help-desk application. We detail SDS architecture and dialog management, model, and data representation.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"36 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":"121132213","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 baseline method combines elements found in the literature to form an approach based on a phonetic confusion matrix that is used to determine the similarity of an audio document and a query, both of which are parsed into phone N-grams. Experimental results show comparable performance to other approaches in the literature. Extensions of the approach are developed based on a constrained form of the similarity measure that can take into consideration the system dependent errors that can occur. This is done by accounting for higher order confusions, namely of phone bi-grams and tri-grams. Results show improved performance across a variety of system configurations.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"81 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":"121197364","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}

In graph-based learning, training and test data points are jointly represented in a weighted undirected graph characterized by a weight matrix indicating similarities between different samples. Classification of test samples is achieved by label propagation over the entire graph. Although this learning technique is commonly applied in semi-supervised settings, we show how it can also be used as a postprocessing step to a supervised classifier by imposing additional regularization constraints based on the underlying data manifold. We also present a technique to adapt graph-based learning to large datasets and evaluate our system on a vowel classification task. Our results show that graph-based learning improves significantly over state-of-the art baselines.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"5 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":"115265774","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}

Our method is based on performing a joint alignment between independently generated word and phone lattices, where the word-lattice is aligned via a recognition lexicon. Based on a similarity measure between phones, we can locate highly mis-aligned regions of time, and then specify those regions as candidate OOVs. This novel approach is implemented using the framework of graphical models (GMs), which enable fast flexible integration of different scores from word lattices, phone lattices, and the similarity measures. We evaluate our method on switchboard data using RT-04 as test set. Experimental results show that our approach provides a promising and scalable new way to detect OOV for LVCSR.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"43 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":"122846032","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}

We have formulated the problem of jointly decoding K multiple patterns given a single hidden Markov model. It is shown that such a solution is possible by aligning the K patterns using the proposed multi pattern dynamic time warping algorithm followed by the constrained multi pattern Viterbi algorithm. The new formulation is tested in the context of speaker independent isolated word recognition for both clean and noisy patterns. When 10 percent of speech is affected by a burst noise at -5 dB signal to noise ratio (local), it is shown that joint decoding using only two noisy patterns reduces the noisy speech recognition error rate to about 51 percent, when compared to the single pattern decoding using the Viterbi Algorithm. In contrast a simple maximization of individual pattern likelihoods, provides only about 7 percent reduction in error rate.","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":"130104773","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}

Extended Baum-Welch (EBW) transformations are most commonly used as a discriminative technique for estimating parameters of Gaussian mixtures, though recently they have been used to derive a gradient steepness measurement to evaluate the quality of the model to match the distribution of the data. In this paper, we explore applying the EBW gradient steepness metric in the context of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for recognition of broad phonetic classes and present a detailed analysis and results on the use of this gradient metric on the TIMIT corpus. We find that our gradient metric is able to outperform the baseline likelihood method, and offers improvements in noisy conditions.","PeriodicalId":371729,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition & Understanding (ASRU)","volume":"11 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":"125305817","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}
