A statistical text-to-phone function using ngrams and rules (1999)
Adopting concepts from statistical language modeling and rulebased transformations can lead to effective and efficient text-tophone (TTP) functions. We present here the methods and results of one...
Insights from the broadcast news benchmark tests (1998)
Walter Liggett, William M. Fisher
The broadcast news benchmark tests have potential as a source of ideas for improving continuous speech recognition systems. This paper presents a data analysis method for uncovering such ideas and...
Data Selection for Broadcast News CSR Evaluations (1998)
William M. Fisher, Walter S. Liggett, Audrey Le, Jonathan G. Fiscus, David S. Pallett
Composition of the 1997 Hub-4 broadcast news test set is discussed. The composition is based on concurrent selection of a statistically-equivalent test set for a future evaluation, adjustment of the...
