Abstract

This article is about Discriminative Semi-supervised Training for Keyword Search in Low Resource Languages.

Annotation

In this paper, we investigate semi-supervised training for low resource languages where the initial systems may have high error rate ( 70.0% word eror rate). To handle the lack of data, we study semi-supervised techniques including data selection, data weighting, discriminative training and multilayer perceptron learning to improve system performance. The entire suite of semi-supervised methods presented in this paper was evaluated under the IARPA Babel program for the keyword spotting tasks. Our semi-supervised system had the best performance in the OpenKWS13 surprise language evaluation for the limited condition. In this paper, we describe our work on the Turkish and Vietnamese systems.
