Abstract:
To begin with, an acoustic model training apparatus extracts speech features representing speech characteristics, and calculates an acoustic-condition feature representing a feature of an acoustic condition of the speech data using an acoustic-condition calculation model that is represented as a neural network, based on an acoustic-condition calculation model parameter characterizing the acoustic-condition calculation model. The acoustic model training apparatus then generates an adjusted parameter that is an acoustic model parameter adjusted based on the acoustic-condition feature, the acoustic model parameter characterizing an acoustic model represented as a neural network to which an output layer of the acoustic-condition calculation model is coupled. The acoustic model training apparatus then updates the acoustic model parameter based on the adjusted parameter and the speech features, and updates the acoustic-condition calculation model parameters based on the adjusted parameter and the speech features.
