Articulatory Information and Multiview Features for Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition

ICASSP 2018accepted

This paper explores the use of multi-view features and their discriminative transforms in a convolutional deep neural network (CNN) architecture for a continuous large vocabulary speech recognition task. Mel-filterbank energies and perceptually motivated forced damped oscillator coefficient (DOC) fe…

Interpreting DNN Output Layer Activations: A Strategy to Cope with Unseen Data in Speech Recognition

ICASSP 2018accepted

Unseen data can degrade performance of deep neural net (DNN) acoustic models. To cope with unseen data, adaptation techniques are deployed. For unlabeled unseen data, one must generate some hypothesis given an existing model, which is used as the label for model adaptation. However, assessing the go…

Joint modeling of articulatory and acoustic spaces for continuous speech recognition tasks

ICASSP 2017accepted

Articulatory information can effectively model variability in speech and can improve speech recognition performance under varying acoustic conditions. Learning speaker-independent articulatory models has always been challenging, as speaker-specific information in the articulatory and acoustic spaces…

Speech recognition in unseen and noisy channel conditions

ICASSP 2017accepted

Speech recognition in varying background conditions is a challenging problem. Acoustic condition mismatch between training and evaluation data can significantly reduce recognition performance. For mismatched conditions, data-adaptation techniques are typically found to be useful, as they expose the…
