The quality of static phones (e.g. vowels, fricatives, nasals, laterals) generated by articulatory speech synthesizers has reached a high level in the last years. Our goal is to ex...
In this paper we propose discriminative training of hierarchical acoustic models for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition tasks. After presenting our hierarchical modeli...
We study key issues related to multilingual acoustic modeling for automatic speech recognition (ASR) through a series of large-scale ASR experiments. Our study explores shared str...

In this paper, we present a new approach to HMM adaptation that jointly compensates for additive and convolutive acoustic distortion in environment-robust speech recognition. The ...
