Research Abstract |
With the aim of improving the performance of automatic speech recognition using the Weighted Finite State Transducer(WFST)-based decoder and developing new applications of the decoder, a wide range of research has been conducted and various achievements have been obtained. The world highest performance speech recognition decoder,"T^3 decoder", has been developed by improving the on-the-fly algorithm for the WFST decoder. Recognition performance under noisy environment has been improved by incorporating speech/non-speech information to the decoder. Various new techniques have been developed to apply the decoder to the recognition of resource-deficient languages and code-switching speech, and to transliteration. Innovative ideas have been proposed toward new directions of the decoder technology. T^3 decoder has been released to domestic as well as overseas research laboratories.
