3 Why do we need language identification? - I. 1) Route phone calls to human operators. emergency (155,911) call-centers police (158) fireguard (150) Brno University of Technology: Language identification 3/31

5 Why do we need language identification? - III. 3) Security applications. Brno University of Technology: Language identification 5/31
6 Two main approaches to Language Identification Acoustic - Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) Speech Features GMM Decision good for short and long speech segments and dialect recognition, relies on the sounds - tends to recognize the speaker s native language Phonotactic - Phoneme Recognition followed by Language Model (PRLM) Speech Phoneme Recognizer Language Arabic a a a 8 a b c 2 a b v 4 a v t 15 r t x 12 e r t 1 English a a a 9 a b c 15 a b v 23 a v t 1 r t x 7 e r t 48 Model Decision good for longer speech segments, robust against dialects in one language and eliminates speech characteristics of speaker s native language Brno University of Technology: Language identification 6/31
7 Acoustic LID Language 1 GMM Score 1 Feature extraction Language 2 GMM Score normalization Score 2. Language N GMM Score N Brno University of Technology: Language identification 7/31
8 Feature extraction MFCC (static coefficients including C0) RASTA channel normalization VTLN speaker adaptation MFCC are augmented with Shifted Delta Cepstra (SDC) representing an information about the speech evolution around the current frame (±0.1sec.) MFCC coefficients Frames SDC corresponding to one MFCC coefficient The size of final feature vector is: 7MF CC + 7 7SDC = 56 Brno University of Technology: Language identification 8/31
9 Distribution of Feaures for Two Languages Each feature vector can be presented as a point in N-dimensional space Brno University of Technology: Language identification 9/31
10 Distribution of Feaures for Two Languages What language is spoken in the green utterance? Blue or red? Brno University of Technology: Language identification 10/31
11 Distribution of Feaures for Two Languages Brno University of Technology: Language identification 11/31
12 Modeling Distributions Using Mixture of Gaussians Brno University of Technology: Language identification 12/31
13 GMM - Training Goal: Using training utterances O r and their transcriptions L r, find model parameters λ Maximum Likelihood (ML) training Objective function to maximize is the likelihood of training data given the transcription F ML (λ) = R r=1 R log p(o r M L r λ ) = r=1 T r t=1 log p(o rt M L r λ ) Independently trained models of different languages wasting parameters to precisely model distribution even of those parts of feature space with no discriminative power Assignment of frames to speech segments is NOT important for training Maximum Mutual Information (MMI) training Objective function to maximize is the posterior probability of all training segments being correctly recognized F MMI (λ) = R log p(o r M L r λ ) L p(o r M L λ ) r=1 Brno University of Technology: Language identification 13/31
14 Highly overlapped distributions Brno University of Technology: Language identification 14/31
15 Highly overlapped distributions Easily recognizable No need to precisely model the distributions Necesery to precisely model the boundary Highly overlaped classes, low discriminative power Brno University of Technology: Language identification 15/31
16 Maximum Mutual Information Concentrates on precise modeling of decision boundary Optimizes parameters for good recognition of whole segments (not individual frames) segmentation of speech is important for training MMI also learns the (undesirable) language priors from training data need to equalize amount of data per language (segment weighting in reestimation formulae) Other discriminative training technique were also investigated (MCE and MWE), MMI performs the best [Burget 2006] L.

Černocký, Discriminative training techniques for acoustic language identification, ICASSP 2006, Toulouse, France Brno University of Technology: Language identification 16/31

Schwarz, P. Matějka, and J. Černocký, Hierarchical structures of neural networks for phoneme recognition, ICASSP 2006, Toulouse, France Brno University of Technology: Language identification 20/31
21 Phoneme recognition for LID the quality of PRLM and PPRLM heavily depends on the amount of training data initial work done with OGIStories, but not enough data. Question: will LID work in case we use tokenizers from languages for which we have enough and well transcribed data? Answer: Yes! - using Hungarian, Czech and Russian from SpeechDat-E database. we know well this data. 10 more data than OGIStories. none of these is target language of any NIST eval but works: see P. Matějka, P. Schwarz, J. Černocký and P. Chytil, Phonotactic Language Identification using High Quality Phoneme Recognition, Eurospeech 2005, Lisbon, Portugal Brno University of Technology: Language identification 21/31

29 Conclusion GMM discriminative training (MMI) of GMM provides substantial improvements with respect to conventional ML training at the same time it allows to significantly reduce the number of parameters PRLM PRLM improved by training and testing on lattices obtained good results with antimodels Brno University of Technology: Language identification 29/31
30 Future plans GMM HLDA experiments [Burget 2006] PRLM (and phoneme recognizer) channel and speaker adaptation in NN-based phoneme recognizer improve language modeling, use SVM classification, binary trees General better combination of separate systems channel normalization [Burget 2006] L.
