Cross-Entropy Training of DNN Ensemble Acoustic Models for Low-Resource ASR.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown a great promise in exploiting out-of-language data, particularly for under-resourced languages. The common trend is to merge data from various source languages to train a multilingual DNN and then reuse the hidden layers as language-independent feature extractors for a low-resource target language. While there is a consensus that using as much data from vario...
