--- _id: '11730' abstract: - lang: eng 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. author: - first_name: Peter full_name: Beyerlein, Peter last_name: Beyerlein - first_name: Xavier L. full_name: Aubert, Xavier L. last_name: Aubert - first_name: Reinhold full_name: Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold id: '242' last_name: Haeb-Umbach - first_name: Dietrich full_name: Klakow, Dietrich last_name: Klakow - first_name: Meinhard full_name: Ullrich, Meinhard last_name: Ullrich - first_name: Andreas full_name: Wendemuth, Andreas last_name: Wendemuth - first_name: Patricia full_name: Wilcox, Patricia last_name: Wilcox citation: ama: 'Beyerlein P, Aubert XL, Haeb-Umbach R, et al.
