Abstract
Automatic selection of acoustic prototypes is an important step towards making speech recognition systems automatically adaptable to new speakers. Two methods for automatically obtaining a set of acoustic prototypes for use by a centisecond labeling acoustic processor are described. One method is based on bootstrapping, the other on clustering. Recognition results using these automatically obtained prototypes on the 1000-word vocabulary natural language Laser Patent task are presented. These results are compared to those from an experiment in which the acoustic prototypes were manually selected.Keywords
