Multilingual Bottleneck Features for Improving ASR Performance of Code-Switched Speech in Under-Resourced Languages

Trideba Padhi, Astik Biswas, Febe De Wet +2

In this work, we explore the benefits of using multilingual bottleneck features (mBNF) in acoustic modelling for the automatic speech recognition of code-switched (CS) speech in Af…

Identification/Segmentation of Indian Regional Languages with Singular Value Decomposition based Feature Embedding

Anirban Bhowmick, Astik Biswas

language identification (LID) is identifing a language in a given spoken utterance. Language segmentation is equally inportant as language identification where language boundaries…

Improved low-resource Somali speech recognition by semi-supervised acoustic and language model training

Astik Biswas, Raghav Menon, Ewald van der Westhuizen +1

We present improvements in automatic speech recognition (ASR) for Somali, a currently extremely under-resourced language. This forms part of a continuing United Nations (UN) effort…
