Semi-supervised acoustic modelling for five-lingual code-switched ASR using automatically-segmented soap opera speech
N. Wilkinson, A. Biswas, E. Yılmaz +3
This paper considers the impact of automatic segmentation on the fully-automatic, semi-supervised training of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for five-lingual code-switc…
Semi-supervised acoustic and language model training for English-isiZulu code-switched speech recognition
A. Biswas, F. de Wet, E. van der Westhuizen +1
We present an analysis of semi-supervised acoustic and language model training for English-isiZulu code-switched ASR using soap opera speech. Approximately 11 hours of untranscribe…
Semi-supervised Development of ASR Systems for Multilingual Code-switched Speech in Under-resourced Languages
Astik Biswas, Emre Yılmaz, Febe de Wet +2
This paper reports on the semi-supervised development of acoustic and language models for under-resourced, code-switched speech in five South African languages. Two approaches are…
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…
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…
Unsupervised acoustic unit discovery for speech synthesis using discrete latent-variable neural networks
Ryan Eloff, André Nortje, Benjamin van Niekerk +7
For our submission to the ZeroSpeech 2019 challenge, we apply discrete latent-variable neural networks to unlabelled speech and use the discovered units for speech synthesis. Unsup…
