| Abstract(in English) | English are spoken in various occasions like presentations and discussions at international conferences by a lot of people whose mother tongues are different from. Their second languages often have not only distinct accent but also different lexical and syntactic characteristics. Speech recognition performance is severely affected when the lexical, syntactic, or semantic characteristics in the training and recognition tasks differ. Language model of a speech recognition system is usually trained with transcribed speech data or text data collected in English native countries, therefore, speech recognition performance is expected to be degraded by mismatch of lexical and syntactic characteristics between native speakers and second languages speakers as well as by the distinction between their accents. This paper describes improvement of speech recognition performances when the language model are trained with the learner corpus which was created by collecting sentences translated by Japanese subjects and linearly interpolated with a language model trained with a corpus in the same domain. |
