Combination of Recognizers and Fusion of Features Approach to Missing Data ASR Under Non-Stationary Noise Conditions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The difficulty of ASR under non-stationary noise conditions is a major contributing factor hindering the widespread deployment of ASR systems. Bottom up techniques such as speech noise separation and top down methods to adapt the acoustic model to the environment have been applied to address the issue. The missing data approach to ASR improves upon existing techniques basing recognition solely on the reliable components of the signal and has been demonstrated as an effective method to handle non-stationarity. Proposed in this paper is a novel technique whereby ASR using missing data theory under non-stationary noise conditions is improved by use of a fusion of models at the decision level. This fused model introduces more resilient features to the missing data decode process. The fused decoder is found to significantly increase recognition performance over conventional missing data techniques. A major finding in this paper is when the fused decoder exhibits the fusion of bottom up and top down processes. Under this condition, the proposed combination of recognizers technique is found to outperform all other tested ASR systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
