Abstract

Cross domains and language portability of phone-posterior features. English-trained MLP features can provide a significant
boost to recognition accuracy in new domains within the same
language, as well as in entirely different languages such as Mandarin and Arabic.

Annotation

Recent results with phone-posterior acoustic features estimated by
multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) have shown that such features can
effectively improve the accuracy of state-of-the-art large vocabulary
speech recognition systems. MLP features are trained discriminatively
to perform phone classification and are therefore,
like acoustic models, tuned to a particular language and application
domain. In this paper we investigate how portable such features
are across domains and languages. We show that even without
retraining, English-trainedMLP features can provide a significant
boost to recognition accuracy in new domainswithin the same
language, as well as in entirely different languages such as Mandarin
and Arabic. We also show the effectiveness of feature-level
adaptation in porting MLP features to new domains.
