Title
Improving LF-MMI Using Unconstrained Supervisions for ASR.
Abstract
We present our work on improving the numerator graph for discriminative training using the lattice-free maximum mutual information (MMI) criterion. Specifically, we propose a scheme for creating unconstrained numerator graphs by removing time constraints from the baseline numerator graphs. This leads to much smaller graphs and therefore faster preparation of training supervisions. By testing the proposed un-constrained supervisions using factorized time-delay neural network (TDNN) models, we observe 0.5% to 2.6% relative improvement over the state-of-the-art word error rates on various large-vocabulary speech recognition databases.
