A robust compensation strategy for extraneous acoustic variations in spontaneous speech recognition.

We propose a robust compensation strategy to deal effectively with extraneous acoustic variations for spontaneous speech recognition. This strategy extends speaker adaptive training, and uses hidden Markov models (HMM) parameter transformations to normalize the extraneous variations in the training...
