Title
The BBN Byblos 2000 conversational Mandarin LVCSR system
Abstract
This paper describes the year 2000 BBN Byblos Mandarin large vocabulary conversational speech recognition (LVCSR) system, the winning (and only) Mandarin system from the Spring 2 000 Hub-5 evaluation sponsored by NIST. We first outline the training and d ecoding procedures used in the system, and describe the performance of the system used in the e valuation. We then d escribe the e ffect of several features that were not in the e valuation system but have been added since, including Jacobian compensated Vocal Tract Length Normalization (VTLN), system combination, a higher number of system parameters, and additional training data. Together these give a n additional 5.4% relative improvement on character error r ate (CER) from the evaluation system.
