Comparing speaker-dependent and speaker-adaptive acoustic models for recognizing dysarthric speech

Published: 15 October 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Acoustic modeling of dysarthric speech is complicated by its increased intra- and inter-speaker variability. The accuracy of speaker-dependent and speaker-adaptive models are compared for this task, with the latter prevailing across varying levels of speaker intelligibility.
