Abstract

A source-adapted model for use in speech recognition is generated by defining a linear relationship between a first element of an initial model and a first element of the source-adapted model. Thereafter, speech data that corresponds to the first element of the initial model is assembled from a set of speech data for a particular source associated with the source-adapted model. A linear transform that maps between the assembled speech data and the first element of the initial model is then determined. Finally, a first element of the source-adapted model is produced from the first element of the initial model using the linear transform.
