The problem arises if a user wants to add his own vocabulary to a speaker-independent recognition system simply by speaking the words a few times. Two methods are investigated which are both based on a maximum-likelihood formulation of the problem. The experimental results show that both automatic transcription methods provide a good estimate of the acoustic models of unknown words. The recognition error rates obtained with such models in a speaker-independent recognition task are clearly better than those resulting from separate whole-word models. They are comparable with the performance of transcriptions drawn from a dictionary."}],"user_id":"44006","_id":"11787","oa":"1"}
