Book Discriminative Learning for Speech Recognition

Download or read book Discriminative Learning for Speech Recognition written by Xiadong He and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2008-08-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we introduce the background and mainstream methods of probabilistic modeling and discriminative parameter optimization for speech recognition. The specific models treated in depth include the widely used exponential-family distributions and the hidden Markov model. A detailed study is presented on unifying the common objective functions for discriminative learning in speech recognition, namely maximum mutual information (MMI), minimum classification error, and minimum phone/word error. The unification is presented, with rigorous mathematical analysis, in a common rational-function form. This common form enables the use of the growth transformation (or extended Baum–Welch) optimization framework in discriminative learning of model parameters. In addition to all the necessary introduction of the background and tutorial material on the subject, we also included technical details on the derivation of the parameter optimization formulas for exponential-family distributions, discrete hidden Markov models (HMMs), and continuous-density HMMs in discriminative learning. Selected experimental results obtained by the authors in firsthand are presented to show that discriminative learning can lead to superior speech recognition performance over conventional parameter learning. Details on major algorithmic implementation issues with practical significance are provided to enable the practitioners to directly reproduce the theory in the earlier part of the book into engineering practice.

Book Large margin Gaussian Mixture Modeling for Automatic Speech Recognition

Download or read book Large margin Gaussian Mixture Modeling for Automatic Speech Recognition written by Hung-An Chang (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discriminative training for acoustic models has been widely studied to improve the performance of automatic speech recognition systems. To enhance the generalization ability of discriminatively trained models, a large-margin training framework has recently been proposed. This work investigates large-margin training in detail, integrates the training with more flexible classifier structures such as hierarchical classifiers and committee-based classifiers, and compares the performance of the proposed modeling scheme with existing discriminative methods such as minimum classification error (MCE) training. Experiments are performed on a standard phonetic classification task and a large vocabulary speech recognition (LVCSR) task. In the phonetic classification experiments, the proposed modeling scheme yields about 1.5% absolute error reduction over the current state of the art. In the LVCSR experiments on the MIT lecture corpus, the large-margin model has about 6.0% absolute word error rate reduction over the baseline model and about 0.6% absolute error rate reduction over the MCE model.
