Rapid joint speaker and noise compensation for robust speech recognition
For speech recognition, mismatches between training and testing for speaker and noise are normally handled separately. The work presented in this paper aims at jointly applying sp...

Using stacked transformations for recognizing foreign accented speech
A common problem in speech recognition for foreign accented speech is that there is not enough training data for an accent-specific or a speaker-specific recognizer. Speaker ada...

A new method for speaker adaptation using bilinear model
In this paper, a novel method for speaker adaptation using bilinear model is proposed. Bilinear model can express both characteristics of speakers (style) and phonemes across spea...
