- Sebastian Stüker, Kevin Kilgour, Christian Saam, A. Waibel. 2011. The 2011 KIT English ASR system for the IWSLT evaluation. Abstract: This paper describes our English Speech-to-Text (STT) system for the 2011 IWSLT ASR track. The system consists of 2 subsystems with different front-ends—one MVDR based, one MFCC based—which are combined using confusion network combination to provide a base for a second pass speaker adapted MVDR system. We demonstrate that this set-up produces competitive results on the IWSLT 2010 dev and test sets.
