Abstract

In this paper we investigate the use of Multi-level adaptive networks (MLAN) to incorporate out-of-domain data when training large vocabulary speech recognition systems. In a set of experiments on multi-genre broadcast data and on TED lecture recordings we present results using of out-of-domain features in a hybrid DNN system and explore tandem systems using a variety of input acoustic features. Our experiments indicate using the MLAN approach in both hybrid and tandem systems results in consistent reductions in word error rate of 5-10% relative.
