In this paper we address the problem of building a good speech recognizer if there is only a small amount of training data available. The acoustic models can be improved by interpolation with the well-trained models of a second recognizer from a different application scenario. In our case, we interpolate a children’s speech recognizer with a recognizer for adults’ speech. Each hidden Markov model has its own set of interpolation partners; experiments were conducted with up to 50 partners. The… CONTINUE READING
