text: In this paper the Philips Broadcast News transcription system is described.
The Broadcast News task aims at the recognition of "found" speech in radio and
television broadcasts without any additional side information (e.g. speaking style,
background conditions). The system was derived from the Philips continuous mixture
density crossword HMM system, using MFCC features and Laplacian densities. A segmentation
was performed to obtain sentence-like partitions of the broadcasts. Using data-driven
clustering, the obtained segments were grouped into clusters with similar acoustic
conditions for adaptation purposes. Gender independent word-internal and crossword
triphone models were trained on 70 hours of the HUB4 training data. No focus condition
specific training was applied. Channel and speaker normalization was done by mean
and variance normalization as well as VTN and MLLR. The transcription was produced
by an adaptive multiple pass decoder starting with phrase-bigram decoding using
word-internal triphones and finishing with a phrase-trigram decoding using MLLR-adapted
crossword models.
