Abstract

The paper is on systems for close-taking, far field and speaker attributed STT conditions. The system was used at participation in the NIST RT'2009 STT evaluations.

Annotation

We present the AMIDA 2009 system for participation in the NIST RT'2009 STT evaluations. Systems for close-talking, far field and speaker attributed STT conditions are described. Improvements to our previous systems are: segmentation and diarisation; stacked bottle-neck posterior feature extraction; fMPE training of acoustic models; adaptation on complete meetings; improvements to WFST decoding; automatic optimisation of decoders and system graphs. Overall these changes gave a 6-13% relative reduction in word error rate while at the same time reducing the real-time factor by a factor of five and using considerably less data for acoustic model training.
