The FBK ASR system for Evalita 2011

Abstract

This report describes the system used in FBK for participating in the large vocabulary Automatic Speech Recognition tasks of the Evalita 2011 evaluation campaign. The paper provides some details on the techniques included in the transcription system. The official FBK submissions were only related to the closed modality, were only data distributed within the campaign could be exploited. In this paper, results are given that were obtained with a system trained on larger corpora, thus allowing to appreciate the difference between the two modalities. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
