Training Data Clustering For Improved Speech Recognition
We present an approach to cluster the training data for automatic speech recognition (ASR). A relativeentropy based distance metric between training data clusters is defined. This metric is used to hierarchically cluster the training data. The metric can also be used to select the closest training data clusters given a small amount of data from the test speaker. The selected clusters are then used to estimate a set of hidden Markov models (HMMs) for recognizing the speech from the test speaker. We present preliminary experimental results of the clustering algorithm and its application to ASR. 1 Introduction While progress in ASR has been encouraging, it has become increasingly clear that ASR systems must perform well in the presence of mismatches between the training and testing environments. ASR systems trained in one environment often perform poorly in a new environment due to mismatches between the training and testing conditions. Common sources of mismatches include different tran..
