| Abstract | Speaker adaptation has received a considerable amount of attention in recent years. Most of the previous work focused on techniques which require a certain amount of speech to be collected from the target speaker. This paper presents two speaker adaptation methods, including a feature normalization and a HMM parameter adaptation, developed to improve a speaker-independent HMM-based speech recognition system. The proposed adaptation algorithms are text-independent and do not require target speech collection. By applying the feature normalization, the target speech is normalized to reduce the acoustic inter-speaker and environmental variability. By applying the HMM parameter adaptation, the recognition system parameters are dynamically modified to model the target speech. We carried out recognition experiments to assess the performance, using two different speaker-independent recognizers as the baseline systems: a continuous digit recognizer and a keyword recognition system. The results show that when both adaptation techniques are combined, the word error of the digit recognizer using the TI Connected Digit corpus is reduced by about 30% and the detection error of a keyword recognition system using the Road Rally corpora is reduced by about 40%. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
