We aimed at a conceptually simple system: We trained two model sets on 70 hours of the Hub-4 training data, one for within-word and one for cross-word decoding. These model sets were used for both genders and all environmental conditions. In order to be able to do so, channel normalization (mean, variance normalization) and speaker normalization (vocal tract length normalization, realized by an appropriate shift of the center frequencies of the mel filter bank) have been applied, as well as adaptation techniques. MLLR-based unsupervised batch adaptation on clusters of segments was conducted both after a first within-word decoding and a cross-word decoding pass. The training strategy and the effects of the various normalization and adaptation techniques will be discussed in the paper."}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://groups.uni-paderborn.de/nt/pubs/1998/Workshop_Landsdowne_1998_Haeb2_paper.pdf"}]}
