Abstract

The paper is on a novel example selection and example combination from which the final query in the QbE STD system is derived.

Annotation

Query-by-example (QbE) spoken term detection (STD) is necessary for low-resource scenarios where training material is hardly available and word-based speech recognition systems cannot be employed. We present two novel contributions to QbE STD: the first introduces several criteria to select the optimal example used as query throughout the search system. The second presents a novel feature level example combination to construct a more robust query used during the search. Experiments, tested on with-in language and cross-lingual QbE STD setups, show a significant improvement when the query is selected according to an optimal criterion over when the query is selected randomly for both setups and a significant improvement when several examples are combined to build the input query for the search system compared with the use of the single best example. They also show comparable performance to that of a stateof- the-art acoustic keyword spotting system.
