DNN-Based Acoustic Modeling for Russian Speech Recognition Using Kaldi

摘要

In the paper, we describe a research of DNN-based acoustic modeling for Russian speech recognition. Training and testing of the system was performed using the open-source Kaldi toolkit. We created tanh and p-norm DNNs with a different number of hidden layers and a different number of hidden units of tanh DNNs. Testing of the models was carried out on very large vocabulary continuous Russian speech recognition task. We obtained a relative WER reduction of 20% comparing to the baseline GMM-HMM system.
