Abstract(in English) We have studied syllable-based acoustic modeling for Japanese speech recognition. In this paper, we first investigate the performance of recognition accuracy using phoneme/syllable-based DNN-HMM. The results show that there's no significant difference between phoneme/syllable-based DNN-HMM. Second, we investigate the age- and gender-independent speech recognition using DNN-HMM. We use three types of corpora(adult, elder, child), and each corpus contains male and female speech data. In general, speaker-independent system cannot handle the specific information of speakers, and the recognition performance of speaker independent model is lower that of speaker dependent model. Our experimental results show that one DNN-HMM trained by all corpora with a class-dependent feature normalization method achieves better performance compared to class-dependent DNN-HMMs. Finally, we investigate the incorporation of information on corpora into DNN.
