摘要翻译:
我们如何才能有效地为没有转录数据的语言开发语音技术?许多现有的方法根本不使用注释资源,但利用其他语言的大型注释语料库中的信息是有意义的,例如,以从有监督的语音识别系统中获得的多语言瓶颈特征(BNFs)的形式。在这项工作中,我们评估了BNFs在六种看不见的语言中的子词建模(特征提取)的好处。首先,我们结合两种现有的方法:声道长度归一化(VTLN)和对应自动编码器(cAE)来建立一个强的无监督基线。然后我们表明,在单一语言上训练的BNFs已经超过了这个基线;包括多达10种语言带来了额外的改进,这是从一种语言中添加更多数据所无法比拟的。最后,我们证明了如果有高质量的同义词对,cAE可以进一步改进BNFs。

一级分类:Computer Science 计算机科学
二级分类:Computation and Language 计算与语言
分类描述:Covers natural language processing. Roughly includes material in ACM Subject Class I.2.7. Note that work on artificial languages (programming languages, logics, formal systems) that does not explicitly address natural-language issues broadly construed (natural-language processing, computational linguistics, speech, text retrieval, etc.) is not appropriate for this area.
涵盖自然语言处理。大致包括ACM科目I.2.7类的材料。请注意,人工语言(编程语言、逻辑学、形式系统)的工作,如果没有明确地解决广义的自然语言问题(自然语言处理、计算语言学、语音、文本检索等),就不适合这个领域。

英文摘要:
How can we effectively develop speech technology for languages where no transcribed data is available? Many existing approaches use no annotated resources at all, yet it makes sense to leverage information from large annotated corpora in other languages, for example in the form of multilingual bottleneck features (BNFs) obtained from a supervised speech recognition system. In this work, we evaluate the benefits of BNFs for subword modeling (feature extraction) in six unseen languages on a word discrimination task. First we establish a strong unsupervised baseline by combining two existing methods: vocal tract length normalisation (VTLN) and the correspondence autoencoder (cAE). We then show that BNFs trained on a single language already beat this baseline; including up to 10 languages results in additional improvements which cannot be matched by just adding more data from a single language. Finally, we show that the cAE can improve further on the BNFs if high-quality same-word pairs are available.
