| Research Abstract |
In this project, we present a novel speech processing framework, where all of the acoustic speech samples are once encoded into universal phonetic segment (UPS) sequences and spoken document processing (SDP) systems, such as recognition, retrieval, indexing, are constructed on this UPS domain. Adopting this framework, the SDP systems are separated from the original acoustic correlates or environments. This makes it possible to realize such flexibility that recognition-type processing can be handled by just calculating distances between UPS sequences, and also can be constructed on distributed processing schemes.
Through this project, we have developed the following component techniques on this framework : 1)an original fine sub-phonetic segment (SPS) set as the UPS set, which brought high performance recognition and easy processing of multilingual speech, 2)effective DP(dynamic programming)-based sequence matching algorithms, called Shift CDP and Relay CDP. Effectiveness of the processing framework, the SPS set, and DP-based algorithms are evaluated by constructing speech recognition and open vocabulary spoken document retrieval (SDR) systems. Experimental results showed that the proposed SDP systems are superior to those based on conventional methods in performance evaluation. We have finally constructed a real time open vocabulary SDR system for demonstration, in which the system can retrieve broadcast video by user's speech.
