Robust statistic estimates for adaptation in the task of speech recognition
Original language description
This paper deals with robust estimations of data statistics used for the adaptation. The statistics are accumulated before the adaptation process from available adaptation data. In general, only small amount of adaptation data is assumed. These data areoften corrupted by noise, channel, they do not contain only clean speech. Also, when training Hidden Markov Models (HMM) several assumptions are made that could not have been fulfilled in the praxis, etc. Therefore, we described several techniques that aim to make the adaptation as robust as possible in order to increase the accuracy of the adapted system. One of the methods consists in initialization of the adaptation statistics in order to prevent ill-conditioned transformation matrices. Another problem arises when an acoustic feature is assigned to an improper HMM state even if the reference transcription is available. Such situations can occur because of the forced alignment process used to align frames to states. Thus, it is quite
