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…
Semi-supervised acoustic model training for five-lingual code-switched ASR
Astik Biswas, Emre Yılmaz, Febe de Wet +2
This paper presents recent progress in the acoustic modelling of under-resourced code-switched (CS) speech in multiple South African languages. We consider two approaches. The firs…
Building a Unified Code-Switching ASR System for South African Languages
Emre Yılmaz, Astik Biswas, Ewald van der Westhuizen +2
We present our first efforts towards building a single multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) system that can process code-switching (CS) speech in five languages spoken w…
Automatic Speech Recognition for Humanitarian Applications in Somali
Raghav Menon, Astik Biswas, Armin Saeb +2
We present our first efforts in building an automatic speech recognition system for Somali, an under-resourced language, using 1.57 hrs of annotated speech for acoustic model train…
