摘要：

The aim of the paper is to investigate the ways to improve acoustic models for Russian spontaneous speech recognition. We applied the main steps of the Kaldi Switchboard recipe to a Russian dataset but obtained low accuracy with respect to the results for English spontaneous telephone speech. We found two methods to be especially useful for Russian spontaneous speech: the i-vector based deep neural network adaptation and speaker-dependent bottleneck features which provide 8.6% and 11.9% relative word error rate reduction over the baseline system respectively.
