SUMMARY:Getting it Right the Second Time: Recognition of Spoken Correction
 s - Keith Vertanen\, Inference Group

CONTACT:Ryan Prescott Adams
DESCRIPTION:In previous "work":http://www.keithv.com/pub/speechduring/\, I
  collected a corpus in which users dictated sentences and performed spoken
  corrections of simulated errors  It was found that word or phrase size co
 rrections were particularly hard for speech recognizers.  In this talk\, I
  will discuss efforts to improve recognition on these problematic utteranc
 es.  Speaker adaptation techniques will be used to improve the recognizer'
 s acoustic model.  Information from the correction's context and from the 
 user's intial utterance will be integrated into the recognizer's decoding 
 network.\n\nFor further details\, see our "paper":http://www.keithv.com/pu
