Abstract:

The following tasks were completed on Automatic Speech Recognition ASR. Korean language models LMs were developed to reduce the number of Out-of-Vocabulary OOV words encountered by the recognizer. Levantine Arabic and Farsi ASR systems were trained on conversational telephone speech. Three different methods were investigated for combining Pashto ASR systems. Software was developed for training and evaluating hybrid deep neural network DNN hidden Markov model HMM speech recognition systems. An English ASR system was developed for the International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation IWSLT 2013 evaluation. Six different techniques were investigated for interpolating LM probabilities. Finally, English and Italian ASR systems were developed for the IWSLT 2014 evaluation.
