Abstract

In this article, we focus on keyword detection in children's speech as it is needed in voice command systems. We use the FAU Aibo Emotion Corpus which contains emotionally colored spontaneous children's speech recorded in a child-robot interaction scenario and investigate various recent keyword spotting techniques. As the principle of bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) is known to be well-suited for context-sensitive phoneme prediction, we incorporate a BLSTM network into a Tandem model for flexible coarticulation modeling in children's speech. Our experiments reveal that the Tandem model prevails over a triphone-based Hidden Markov Model approach.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
