Abstract

Two kinds of imperfections, namely the detection errors and the asynchrony between phonological attributes and phone boundaries, can cause a substantial decline in recognition accuracy of a detection-based automatic speech recognition system. To solve these problems, an adjustment method between phonological attributes and phone boundaries is proposed in this paper. At first the prior knowledge of corpus and the detection results are combined, then the asynchronies in the phone boundary area are compensated and the detection errors are corrected; additionally, by selectively deleting some frames with errors, the precision of the phone models are improved. After adoption of this adjustment method, 1.4% of phoneme recognition rate can be improved in the TIMIT phone classification experiments based on Conditional Random Fields.
