A major problem with most speaker adaptation schemes is that they rely on the speaker
providing at least one example of each acoustic unit (word, phone, triphone, etc.) in the …

Presents a speaker adaptation scheme which transforms the prototype speaker's Hidden
Markov word models to those of a new speaker. Transformations are applied to both the …

A new strategy for speaker adaptation is described that is based on:(1) pre-clustering all the
speakers in the training set acoustically into clusters;(2) for each speaker cluster, a system is …

A method for unsupervised instantaneous speaker adaptation is presented and evaluated
on a continuous speech recognition task in a man-machine dialogue system. The method is …

A speaker adaptation strategy is described that is based on finding a subset of speakers,
from the training set, who are acoustically close to the test speaker, and using only the data …

When performing speaker adaptation there are two conicting requirements. First the
transform must be powerful enough to represent the speaker. Second the transform must be …

Speaker-independent system is desirable in many applications where speaker-specific data
do not exist. However, if speakerdependent data are available, the system could be adapted …

This paper introduces two novel techniques for rapid speaker adaptation, reference speaker
weighting and consistency modeling. Also presented is an adaptation technique called …

This paper describes various speaker normalization and adaptation techniques of a
knowledge data base or reference templates to new speakers in automatic speech …

This work is aimed at enhancing the speaker‐independent performance of word‐based
speech recognition systems by rapidly and automatically deducing general characteristics of …
