Abstract

This paper describes several approaches to keyword spotting (KWS) forinformal continuous speech. We compare acoustic keyword spotting,spotting in word lattices generated by large vocabulary continuousspeech recognition and a hybrid approach making use of phoneme latticesgenerated by a phoneme recognizer. The systems are compared oncarefully defined test data extracted from ICSI meeting database. Theadvantages and drawbacks of different approaches are discussed. Theacoustic and phoneme-lattice based KWS are based on a phonemerecognizer making use of temporal-pattern (TRAP) feature extraction andposterior estimation using neural nets. We show its superiority overtraditional HMM/GMM systems. A posterior probability transformationfunction is introduced for posterior based acoustic keyword spotting.We also propose a posterior masking algorithm to speed-up acoustickeyword spotting.
