Abstract(in English) Large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) became practical application level for a newspaper read-speech. However, in LVCSR of spontaneous utterance such as a lecture speech etc. there exist many problems which make recognition difficult. The purpose of this paper is to make precise acoustic and linguistic models for LVCSR system of spontaneous utterance. Speech training data selection is performed to make acoustic model, and morpheme analysis of pronunciation variant dependency is executed to make linguistic model. WER of 31.4% was obtained without speaker adaptation of acoustic model. Trigram and 4-gram with various cutoffs were introduced to rescore language likelifood. WER inprovement by introducing cutoffs was 0.6%. Furthermore, speaker adaptation of acoustic model was carried out, and WER improvement of 3.2% was obtained.
