| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although the deep-learning-based speech recognition technology has made great achievements in recent years, the spontaneous-speech-recognition technology has not yet obtained sufficient results. As major factors of performance degradation in speech recognition, a variety of speaker characteristics, acoustic environments, and speaking styles can be mentioned. To solve these problems, I developed techniques centered around acoustic-model adaptation to improve the speech-recognition performance. Consequently, performance improvement was achieved with regard to spontaneous and emotional speech. Additionally, the performance of voice-activity detection was also improved.
