Advancements and Challenges in Speech Recognition for Car Environments
This course explores the complexities of speech recognition systems in automotive settings, highlighting the latest technologies and their performance metrics. It covers commercial aspects, special challenges, and solutions, including automatic SNR estimation. Techniques such as forced alignment for ASR adaptation, Microsoft SDK applications for Q&A systems, and the use of the 1200 bps MELP vocoder are discussed. Additionally, the course investigates pronunciation variation modeling in Persian, addressing out-of-vocabulary (OOV) issues and integrating Persian text-to-speech capabilities.
