摘要: Abstract : With the distribution of speech technology products all over world, fast and efficient portability to new target languages be comes a practical concern. In this paper we explore relative effectiveness porting multilingual recognition systems with very limited adaptation data. For purpose introduce polyphone decision tree specialization method. Several results are presented based on mono- recognizers developed in framework project GlobalPhone which investigates LVCSR 15 languages.
