Embedding

• The size of nnet1 AM is 6.4M (3M after decomposition). So we need to control AM size within 10M.
• 5*576-2400 TDNN model training done. AM size is about 17M
• 5*500-2400 TDNN model on training.
• making lattice for MPE training.

Character LM

• Except Sogou-2T, 9-gram has been done.
• Add word boundary tag to Character-LM trainig done

• 9-gram
• Except Weibo & Sogou-2T

• Prepare specific domain vocabulary

• Dianxin/Baoxian/Dianli

• DT lm training
• Merge Character-LM & word-LM

• Union
• Compose, success.

• 2-step decoding: first, character-based LM. Then, word-based LM.

SiaSong Robot

• Beam-forming algorithm test
• NN-model based beam-forming

Project

• Pingan & Yueyu Deletion error too more

• TDNN deletion error rate > DNN deletion error rate
• TDNN Silence scale is too sensitive for different test cases.

SID

Digit

• Engine Package
