ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for automatic recognition of speech adapts to a particular speaker by using adaptation data to develop a transformation through which speaker independent models are transformed into speaker adapted models. The speaker adapted models are then used for speaker recognition and achieve better recognition accuracy than non-adapted models. In a further embodiment, the transformation-based adaptation technique is combined with a known Bayesian adaptation technique.
