Confidence scores for acoustic model adaptation
This paper focuses on confidence scores for use in acoustic model adaptation. Frame-based confidence estimates are used in linear transform (CMLLR and MLLR) and MAP adaptation. ...

Can voice quality improve mandarin tone recognition?
We investigate several measures of voice quality (VQ) to improve tone recognition in Mandarin Chinese. We find that band energy measures such as Spectral Balance (Sluijter and va...

Towards the use of full covariance models for missing data speaker recognition
This work investigates the use of missing data techniques for noise robust speaker identification. Most previous work in this field relies on the diagonal covariance assumption ...

Deploying GOOG-411: Early lessons in data, measurement, and testing
We describe our early experience building and optimizing GOOG-411, a fully automated, voice-enabled, business finder. We show how taking an iterative approach to system developme...
